Perhaps we should just let the local constabulary act as if we're in the Ukraine, Bolivia or some other lawless third world country where a gun and a badge give the right to act like the Mafia.

How do you know they are impartial?

Because he was obviously there. This is the only way he could know.

I guess 24 hours is up.

Yup. I was next door to the lady who's son's best friend's cousin said he knew a person who had an uncle who was in Siberia but was aware of the incident and they reportedly told his other buddy and advised - so yep, it's true.

Believe the guy or go back in time yourself and be there.

Dunno who you mean by mongrels (police or the thugs?). But hurting/killing someone in self-defence (note: defence) would not go down well in court.

And holding a weapon up to anyone is considered a threat, better yet concealing one in public as well is a felony.

You wouldn't say that if it had been you on the receiving end.

535127 2007-03-23 03:00:00 Maybe we should just be grateful that there are still guys and girls willing to do the **** jobs as front line Police Officers. Most are just ordinary law abiding people doing their best and dealing daily with the dregs of society. Sue (33)
535128 2007-03-23 03:17:00 Anyway according to the press release in the NZ Herald the police got the right man and he is to appear in court. The public on the scene told the police who the trouble maker was. Can't see what all the fuss is about.

If you are refering to Rickards and co, yes.
