| 529329 | 2007-03-02 04:17:00 | There is no "other" or "not known" option in the poll, it is therefore flawed, I'm sorry to say. We neither know the details of the recent case, nor Rickards specific employment conditions. Besides that and on purely, subjective, judgemental grounds, the man has been found not guilty on two occasions of similar charges. Perhaps where there is smoke there is fire, which seems to be the assumption of the pollster and some respondents alike, however a court of law has found that there is no, or insufficient, fire to convict. I think you will find that any employment hearing will find the same in respect to his job and, any attempt to dislodge him from it could be seen as persecution. It would be interesting to see, who would bemoan a tidy payout from an employment tribunal or as a golden handshake. It would be neater and cheaper to simply put him in charge of internet crime, or some such dead end. As an aside. Have any of you thought that this man may have collected a few really nasty enemies of a criminal nature during his tenure with the Police and that perhaps these enemies would love to see him out of the way and humiliated. |

| 529330 | 2007-03-02 04:27:00 | Out of curiosity, on what grounds do you say that? Hi Lizard Good question ! Because he has at the very least identified that he was in one instance as a policeman and married engaged in group sex with other men with a very young woman in a gang bang situation of dubious nature. He is supposed to be the Police Commissioner of Auckland and have the respect of his staff and the public. You may have different standards than mine ! No, I don't expect impeccable morals or lapses at an early age. However, he was, as I understand it, an older married policeman who aspires to greater things. Plus he challenges the very system which acquitted him !!! He says that Schollum etc were not guilty at Mt Maunganui ---- how therefore can he have any credibility in upholding the law when he says that a jury of twelve of our citizens were unanimous in saying that, without reasonable doubt, Schollum etc carried out the crime !!! Misty :rolleyes: |

| 529333 | 2007-03-02 05:12:00 | Keith Richards is still doing a fine job..what with all that rocking and rolling and the women hanging all over him asking for God knows what sexual favors and the drugs and the cross-dressing attire and the sleepless nights and then on top of it all he has sore fingers from playing the guitars and then he has to stand up all the time to play the songs and then he rides the buss and airplanes and has long waits in the airports and never gets his meals on time nor does he get a good balanced meal like his mom ustta make for him when he was at home and he never gets to visit his home for one of those home cooked meals and his voice never gets the proper rest it needs and his skin looks like a Kimodo dragon for lack of a good washing like his mom ustta do too.........what? RicKARDS? Never mind. |

Misty :rolleyes: Misty, I tend to agree with you, but... While that may not appear to be right, the judicial system is quite separate from the Police in NZ. The Police enforce the law and charge those who step outside it. They do not decide guilt or innocence, they are not advocates for justice per se, that is someone else's job. Edit: Advocate is the wrong word. Perhaps arbiters is more correct. Winnie? |
