[TheList] Bugger me it just gets worse.....

Mon Dec 27 08:38:33 AEDT 2010

Yes Dick exactly right, spare the rod spoil the child.

Another aspect is it makes me wonder what our immigration policy is in this
country, and who we are letting in?

Another aspect is this time of year being the silly season, seems to bring
out the best and worst of people. The financial stress and burden placed on
families etc. Maybe we should just ban bloody Xmas full stop?

Another aspect is this is prime advertising for arming police to the teeth.
Maybe it's time to bring in predator drones armed with hell fire missiles?
They'd serve a dual purpose and be an invaluable tool used not only in
domestic disputes, but also traffic control.

Another aspect is, is it really so bad the increased levels of violence and
crime under the National government? Considering the privately run prisons
need a steady flow of clients to maintain healthy profits. I mean, what
about the shareholders interests for Christs sake? Forget about three
strikes and you're out - one strike would mean magnificent bonuses for
management!

Another aspect is, how is this related to scanning?

  It makes you wonder what the hell we are bringing up in this country. When
I was that age, I would get a walloping from the cop, then taken home and
get one from my parents. No politically correct bullshit. I wouldn't go down
that road again. Gotta feel sorry for the cops at times.

    Title: Teenage boys face charges following machete attack on Hamilton
officer

    Two juveniles arrested following an alleged attack on a Hamilton Police
    officer have been charged in relation to the incident.

    Hamilton City Area Commander, Inspector Rob Lindsay, said the pair may
face
    more serious charges depending on the outcome of interviews being
carried out
    today.

    The arrests follow officers being called to a Pukete address shortly
before
    5pm yesterday after reports of occupants of the home fighting with
weapons.

    "As our staff arrived those involved have stopped fighting and one has
lunged
    at the officer with a knife, as he avoided that attack he has drawn his
baton
    and it is that motion that has saved him from a machete swung by an
offender
    who had come up from behind.

    "The tip of the machete has struck the baton, deflecting it and saving
the
    officer from harm. From there the Constable has used pepper-spray to
disperse
    his attackers who fled into the house."

    Mr Lindsay said officers at the scene had the full range of tactical
options
    available to them and it appears they were put to good use.

    "A voice appeal for those involved to come out failed and officers had
to
    enter the house to ensure the safety of not only themselves but other
    occupants and the offenders as well."

    "A taser was used to subdue one person and as a result of this incident
a
    16-year-old male faces a charge of aggravated assault while a
14-year-old boy
    has been charged with assault with a weapon."

    Mr Lindsay said those involved in yesterday's incident had been drinking
and
    there were concerns for Police in relation to people of the boys' age
having
    access to alcohol.

    "Our staff have dealt with a number of domestic violence incidents over
the
    past few days and with the holiday period still having a way to go we're
    asking people to consider where their drinking is taking them?

    "This incident could have and indeed was close to ending far worse than
it
    did and we're urging people in stressful situations to take time out or
to
    seek help before it gets out of hand and they find themselves facing
serious
    consequences as these two lads are now."

    The attacked officer suffered a black eye and did not require medical
    treatment, he resumed full duties following the incident and Mr Lindsay
    commended him for using those tactical options available to him
correctly and
    with confidence.
