1216011 2011-07-11 06:34:00 Cornelius Arie Smith-Voorkamp, 25, was arrested for allegedly stealing light-fittings from a quake-damaged Lincoln Road property after the February 22 earthquake.


He told Sunday his mental disability compelled him to take the light fixtures.

"Asperger syndrome is an autism spectrum disorder that is characterized by significant difficulties in social interaction, along with restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior and interests. It differs from other autism spectrum disorders by its relative preservation of linguistic and cognitive development. "

I'm sick of
A)Bullshit "syndromes" for what would once have just been called geekiness.
B)People who do something wrong and then bleat that their condition made them do it.

For way too long we have had a society that accepts that people do wrong for every reason, except that they are just bad Bu**ers. Why does no-one accept responsibility for their own actions? Even if this bloke does have a “syndrome” he does know right from wrong, and should expect to suffer the consequences of his actions

1216018 2011-07-11 07:37:00 I felt really sorry for the guy when I saw him on tv. The police decided to make an example of him but they picked the wrong person someone who is mentally ill. Removing some old electrical fittings from place which was going to get demolished isn't looting its liberating or recycling. I have fixed diggers for Ward Demo and have "rescued" stuff which would have been put on a dump truck off to the concrete crushers. At seagull racing at Easter someone flogged my Confederate flag when I asked if anyone has seen anything they said they were going to flog it themselves. prefect (6291)
1216019 2011-07-11 07:53:00 Asperger Syndrome is not a disability or mental illness. These folk are just socially awkward...

Speaking of Confederate flags, even the great Stonewall Jackson apparently had it... www.scpnet.com

The term mental illness is used way too much for everyone. Being awkward, backward, depressed, suffers from anxiety, or didn't get love form mummy and daddy is no excuse for anything.

Did he know the building was going to be demolished at the time?
