Thread: Air pistols and robberies

Its really quite simple , its risk vs reward , thats in the real world , however NZ does not live in the real world , the trend has been away from , 1 ) holding people to account for doing wrong , & 2 ) punishing them to a correct level .
And by being too soft on the crims , we are really telling them its OK to do criminal acts .

Look at how things where say 30yrs ago , a crim virtually never struck a Police Officer , EVER , why they actually knew they would be up in front a real Judge the next day ( not next yr ) , and he would sentence the crim to 6mths minimum , end of short story , a known & imediate consciquence .

Now see what happens , the Lawers & Judges put off sentencing for several mths , and when they have maxed out the legal gravy train money , then 6-12 mths latter they hand down a sentence that is as harsh a slap on the wrist with a wet bus ticket .

Yrs ago a old Cop in charge of the Police stn cells , had a jumped up woman Lawyer come to see a prisioner , the Old Cop had the guy handcuffed & chained down in the interview room , he tells her he is very violet and will kill her given 1/2 a chance , see says NO , he is not to be treated like a animal , and abuses the hell out of the Old Cop , at this stage he has had enough .
So he does as the lawyer asks , uncuffs/chains him , & knowing whats about to happen , goes for a smoke outside , takes his time ( he could have stayed outsied the room & been able to respond imediately to trouble/noise etc ) , once he has finished his smoke , comes back inside to see how she is .
Yeap , almost dead , not quite , Old Cop grabs the prisioner puts the cuffs back on him , rings for ambulance .

Guess what , when he next sees her , she is walknig with a permeant limp , and she LISTENs to the Old Cops advise now , and NEVER interviews a prisoner again with out the prisioner being restrained .

Guess she learned how the real world works , instead of her utopia world , as in all things there is a gap between actual & theory .
