Nobody can touch em and boy did they crow about it.


This is even though one of them threatened a staff member who saw them in action and legitimately tried to stop this debacle

!apparently they also target warehouse and mall supermarket on a regular basis ,and walk straight through trespass notices "Dont apply to Us",toucxh us and well do you for assault"

can anyone find any decency or sense in this cause I sure a f..k cant

You could perhaps ask what future New Zealand have as well.

Yer swings and round abouts, At their age I started work for less than the doll, you were made well aware you were lucky to have a job, interest rates were 23% drucken idiot in charge Rob. Clapped out old cars cost an more than a years salary, carless days, petrol was running out, nuclear threat, cold war. Of us young forestry guys, 1 suicide I know of, handful of druggies, heap of alcoholics, but most have worked their asses off and made a life. The guys with the silver spoon in their mouths didn't last the first couple of months at Woody School.

Probably brighter than any where else?

I can see Winston picking up a bit of support and being pivotal. Wont get my vote but he sure knows how to tap into what a lot of people are thinking.

Something to remember is the media very seldom get all the facts together - can anyone here recall a story you knew the ins and outs of that was reported correctly? Why would you then assume that the facts are as the paper/radio/tv/whatever has reported?

I'm done with getting exercised over what the media says. There is too much to do to bother with someone else's inaccuracy.

@Ross Nolan - spot on, mate! The media convincingly reports on stuff they only have a few facts about, adds their bias, spins it so it has maximum click appeal, then sells it as news!

The trouble is that the majority of "media consumers" don't feel the same way. Can you remember how many self proclaimed small arms experts called " Tracey and Karen" who were falling over themselves in the comments section of any media outlet following March 15th?

Most people dont pause to consider the facts, agreement and outrage are a fashion these days.

Thats you and me not suckered. Odds are that over 5% of the voters will be. He resonates and touches the political pulse.

Personally ,I feel for the officers that had to square off and detain these armed criminals , that were more than willing to discharge firearms with disregard for community or the members of it.

To step up , attend a volatile / violent situation , that has the chance to and is seeing officers shot at, then deal with people with complete disregard for the law they stand for, then go through the process of courts and paperwork and dot their i’s cross there t’s to get convictions , then see their efforts watered down to home d …must be for some at the least frustrating and for other demoralising!
