Police admit shooting innocent 17-year-old

[Hitcher]

Sorry Hitch, whilst I have changed my original statement to the view that he is not guilty of statutory rape, my research on NZ law still leaves me with the view that it is still illegal to have sex before 16. Since they were both similar in age, neither would have been prosecuted for rape, but they are guilty of underage sex.
Consumer has a page on law http://www.consumer.org.nz/topic.asp...e%20law&bhcp=1

The Consumer reference supports what I was saying. If both parties are younger than 16 they are not breaking any laws. Reread the Consumer's examples: the girlfriend Faith was aged 16, which makes her older than the age of consent, hence she is breaking the law by shagging Wiremu who is only 14.

So I'm the only one who realises that this "Innocent" has a 16 year old "fiancee" and a two year old child with her.
Innocent my arse! You do the maths.
Not that I am implying that he deserved to die - but the crapola that comes out after - him being called a "role model" and a great guy yada yada.


Hmmmm me jaded much?

I think throwing shit like that at someone is pathetic.

From what I have read he was making the best of the situation and trying to the best for his family. And in that respect - there are a lot that can learn from him.

My wife had her first baby at 16 also. (not with me FWIW). Is she was shot dead because of some fuckwit raging on "P" - yes I would call her "innocent".

But there will always be the sad, pathetic and the losers, who can only look for the bad or the mistakes of others in order to make themselves feel better.

He might not be the perfect role model - but then few are. But I'd rather look up to someone like him than someone who makes gutless comment's like you have.

Interesting write up in te Truth

The author puts a stupid spin on it "where did all the other bullets go - they're dangerous" followed by "they should use shotguns so they don't miss"... err yeah - excepting all the high speed lead that spreads and... oh never mind.

At least I take his point about them not being so lethal at anything beyond short(ish) range. I assume they're talking #4 shot or smaller... ?

Good old press putting a slight spin on it - rest easy - it IS the truth

It's the same "newspaper" that encourages you to Text "babe" to 6000. Draw your own conclusions as to the profile of its target audience and the gravitas of its editorial opinion.

Who knows what Truth were talking? I seriously doubt that they do themselves.

Normal load Police use in the USA is I believe 00 (double ought) which is 9 x .33" cal balls.

Very useful for sweeping back alleys...

Ive thought (and said) for a long time that any given squad of AOS guys need at least one guy with a Remington combat shotgun. 8 (I think) shot, 14 inch barrell. Get in the way of that and the miscreant WILL FALL DOWN. But relatively low muzzle velocity compared to a rifle and smaller chance of collateral damage.

Like LAPD SWAT do

Back bored so that it throws 1 1/8 oz (32 gm) of shot in a baseball sized pattern at 20 metres
