875098 2010-04-16 23:00:00 It appears that now you are making assumptions as to what posters actually say.

You assume that darkstar09 will remain in Timaru. You assume that there will never be a motorway bridge in Timaru and more to the point you assume facts not in evidence.

What are you on? As someone who claims to be logical you do a pretty good job of being illogical. Are you the anti-Spock?

Sweep makes perfect sense.

In my opinion, what darkstar09 did was worse than the tagger. He easily could have had someone killed. Very easily.
But he didn't. So we say boys will be boys, tomorrow when he does it again, and some driver freaks out loses control and runs over a kid we'll all be angry.
Can't justify it, one way or another.

But of course no one died, so we say boys will be boys...

875100 2010-04-17 22:46:00 The boys will be boys part was certainly true of the tagger as well, and he didn't actually injure anyone. Twelvevolts (5457)
875101 2010-04-17 23:07:00 Ok then, shall we forgive all taggers? Posthumously? R2x1 (4628)
875102 2010-04-18 00:11:00 It should have sent out a message to taggers which is: some people dont take kindly to vandalism and if caught they might get some bush justice metered out.
Then again taggers are criminal scum and not very intelligent so if their mate died out tagging they would be out again the next night.
I think throwing a water bomb at a car is not a biggie I have had kids throw them at me before just thought kids just wanta have fun.

Trying to maintain tagging is a serious offence is stretching your credibility though Prefect. Funny how you SST types drop the pretense of being about law and order though when the victim is a Maori or Pacific Islander. I guess that leaves you holding on to this Tagging warrants murder BS rather than admit to your real motives.

875106 2010-04-18 23:22:00 He took another persons life and therefore should NOT be allowed parole until he has served his debt to society.

He should be locked up behind bars for many, many more years.

Another example of your youthful brashness and lack of maturity DS. The odds are far higher that a person of your age and demographic will kill somebody (whether by murder or accident) than this man. He would have been well aware that the youths he chased would almost certainly be carrying knives, just as I know that the youths that tag a walkway near my property enroute from their normal locale to the nearest shopping centre with a Mall, Mcdonalds and KFC are probably carrying weapons, or tools capable of being used as weapons.

They have made two attempts to steal one of our cars from outside our property, we've had stolen cars dumped outside, I found a cigarette butt at the back of my house one morning, and that's just the forays that I know of. Their intent is clear, our street leads nowhere useful, it is no exit.

If I ever have to go outside in the night to investigate unwanted activity I'll be carrying a baseball bat, and I know I'll probably only get one chance to swing it so if I can't get a kneecap, I'll be aiming for a head and I'll take the consequences as they fall.

He should be released on parole, his risk of reoffending is about zero.

875107 2010-04-18 23:32:00 I take a machete when I investigate noises at night. Cant think of anything dumber than going outside with just a torch, its asking for an assault with bells on. Cant realistically ring the police if I just hear people whispering or people walking around outside.
USA has it sorted you just legally start filling the crooks with bullets until they stop moving.
