Lets not forget the Islander chick in Dunedin who put her newborn baby in a shopping bag and threw it out the window to die. Walked away with a suspended sentence and then got her conviction quashed so she could continue her studies.
Killing is killing in the eyes of the law. It's the public and the judiciary's view of the case that influences the sentence.
Colour, race, money don't matter. If you're a bad bastard then you do the time.
I see that the sister is in the paper this morning.
"I just sit around getting drunk and stoned now Ive dropped out of school" - thats in the victim impact statement.
Since she's under age - the cops should be knocking on her door and doing her for possession, and under age drinking.
Yeh I guess dealing with kids like him on a day to day basis and not thumping my chest and raving like some backward hick about how they all deserve to die makes me pretty soft compared to all the death penalty proponents on here. The kid was a stupid drunken idiot and deserved a good whack, not a knife to the chest. Imagine the outcry if some dairy owner chased down and stabbed to death a white middle class kid who stole a bag of chips?
I last gave out a ticket some 3 years ago, my job is and has been for the past 6 years on the frontline locking people up, it just happens that when you do that for any length of time and see the environment the kids of crims grow up in that things aren't always as black and white as they seem on the outside.
It's only when you take the piss out of a partially shaved wookie with an overactive 'me' gene and stapled on piss flaps that it becomes a problem.
Firstly nobody should die for tagging.
I know heaps of people in that part of Rewa. No hopers my arse. Most of the people I know there work, send their kids to good schools (James Cook isn't that flash anymore) and for the most part are conservative, church going types.
A small minority of those left are the shitbags but a lot of that is choice, they chose to live outside the system. Heaps of people have had garbage upbringings but choose not to lead a life of crime.
The problem with this kid was that he was already known to police (were you involved?) and his extended family had a heap of convictions. His tags were all over the area.
I don't know if you know the house but the garage/workshop is back from the roadway and that was repeatedly tagged. So people were coming onto his property not just to his fence line.
I'm guessing here but Emery probably felt under seige and Cameron just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Yeah, poor wee things.
Unfortunately, that's where the next generation of criminals comes from, innit?
Perhaps, as well as being put on a DNA database, being convicted of certain crimes should carry an automatic penalty of surgical sterilisation.
It'll never happen, but ain't it a nice dream...
kiwibiker is full of love, an disrespect.

I see the stupid bitch has learnt nothing and is letting his sister fuck her life up too.
I believe that decision was a fair decision, killing is not a justifiable punishment for vandalism even if 'he did fall on the knife'. He was protecting his property so its fair he does not get the full prison sentence he will probably be out on parole in 1 year.
