<sarcasm>
and of course there is no correlation whatsoever with light sentences handed to murderers
</sarcasm>
IMO light sentences to murderers diminishes the value of human life in the society.

Makes me sick... Fuken wanabe's

I blame the cheap price of bullets, now poor people with poorer brains can afford to shoot.

What does wealth have to do with intelligence?

[Bend-it]

Smart people are much less likely to commit crime because you could get caught and locked up and have an unpleasant time in prison... hang on a minute... we're in new Zealand.... sorry, take that back...

Well if the bullets were too expensive only rich people with poor brains would be able to afford to shoot.

Given the appearance of the 'target' buildings I got the impression that they were not likely to be used by multi-millionaires - ergo the shooters were likely to be of the same ilk.

Didn't that comedian Chris Tucker say that in one of his skits?

Easy tiger, Scum was making a funny.

But it is a fact that poor stupid people commit more crime than wealthy stupid people. With an inadequate justice system and one of the world’s lowest police / population ratios, naturally crime will increase. With some of the lowest sentencing in the world for violent crime, it's only a matter of time before Labour introduces instant fines for assault or murder. Another great revenue opportunity.

Various crime in my area has shot up too. One of my neighbours wants to introduce a Spook Watch where we have group's mobile numbers and text "ALERT" when "people" are acting suspiciously in our area. I think it's a great idea.

You might be onto something there!

Any demerit points attached as well?

Of course. Over 100 points and you loose your firearms license.

Women wake up to being penetrated by things all the time.

I tried to drive by shooting - trying to keep the accelerator pressed requires some kinda Uzi thang and the ricochets can get dangerously close to yer ba's.

I've since decided to drive by feet and hands - safer.

Call me a cynic but on the face of it, I'd say gang related shootings. If not then has it got that bad that there are carloads of scum just driving around randomly shooting at people. It's likely that they shot at the wrong house, (let's face it these people are probably not all that bright) so gang related - most likely.
