Their reasoning aside, do you disagree?

I feel that criminals should not profit from their crimes which the two case I mentioned above did.
Years ago I ended up with a month and a half off work and had to prove loss of income but as we were putting almost everything back into the business I got virtually nothing out of it. The two crims mentioned above had no income and were already being fully provided for by the tax payer.

If the ACC scheme allowed ACC to deny coverage to claimants who are at fault when they gat their injuries - well, a hell of a lot of people wouldn't get coverage.

There is a difference between being "at fault" when injured. For example:

>>the builder who fell of his ladder coz he erected it at a dangerous angle - his fault.

>>the home invader who damaged his spine and is wheelchair-bound coz he injured himself leaving the house after smacking the men around and raping the women.

Maybe this is similar to the point Mikebartnz was alluding too...

You make an assertion, follow it up with two examples, but then fail to point out the differences.

What exactly is the difference between two examples?

585174 2007-08-29 19:55:00 The difference is the activity.

Anyways, good job to the theif in the story.
