IS THIS A JOKE??

‘Young woman charged with murder after a machete-wielding man shot in Lower Hutt.’
Of course we don’t know all the details yet, but it seems to me that anybody who picks up a machete during a heated argument deserves to be shot. If she fired because she feared for her life, then the element of premeditation is absent.

    Unfortunately thanks to Clayton Weatherston’s defence crew the defence of provocation has been expunged. She is left with self-defence which is a line in shifting sands if ever there was one!
    Admittedly we don’t yet know for sure that he had a machete let alone whether he menaced anyone with it.

    The NZ Police are a bunch of prize hypocrites. They’ll shoot and claim self defence at the drop of a hat yet deny that right for anyone else.

      John, I don’t give a flying fuck what the law says about self-defence.
      The conditions under which it’s legally permissible are a recipe for suicide – or at minimum serious physical and mental harm.
      Nobody, no law, no politician, has the right to deny me self defence and the defence of my wife or anybody else under immediate threat of harm.
      If a right can be denied, it’s not a right but a dispensation.
      The inherent right to life and the protection of life makes all laws to the contrary immoral – and void as far as I’m concerned.

        KG, I totally agree with you. The law regarding self-defence is so vague as to be meaningless. S48 (as amended) does not instil much confidence, as does the Police’s assumption that their in-house interpretations/regulations somehow have the force of law.
        However, just because the liberal softcocks have put all these obstacles in our way should not stop us from doing what is necessary should the need arise.

    What the law demands is simple. That we suffer the depredations of thugs and contact the police after the event in the hope that they can apprehend the perps.
    That’s if we’re still alive or not too brain-damaged to describe the culprits.

    On my recent visit to South Africa my brother recounted an event several years ago in which he was involved.

    In the early hours one Saturday morning four blacks turned up at his house with the intention of stealing his wife’s VW Combi and then breaking into his house. He was woken up by the sound of his gates being removed from their hinges. From his double story bedroom he could look down and see two figures breaking into the VW.
    He quietly grabbed his 9mm and opened the window and shot the guy not shielded by the car. Meanwhile the other 2 were forcing the front door lock, so he went downstairs and as the first guy crossed the door entrance he shot him also.

    When the cops arrived the white police officer informed my brother that there were two blood trails, one down his drive and the other from his front door, both leading to where their car had been parked. His solution to the problem was that my brother should flush all the blood stains with his garden hose and that would be the end of the
    matter.
    Now that’s what I call justice! We learned our shooting skills from many years of hunting near the Botswana border.

      There are some bloody good police officers around, Rivoniaboy, mostly those who have dealings with evil on a day-to-day basis.
      Those deserve all the support we can give ’em. As for the others…I have nothing but contempt.

    This reminds me of an incident in Orlando, Florida that happened to a friend of mine.

    He and his wife were awakened one morning by breaking glass…Like me he was a veteran and pulled out his trusty .45 Colt automatic out from the bed stand and ran downstairs to the kitchen, where two large black males confronted him.

    He immediately opened fire and the blacks retreated into the backyard and my buddy emptied the rest of the magazine at the shadows as they attempted to climb over the ten foot tall privacy fence. One shadow fell down and he turned on the floodlight and observed a dying black male dressed head to toe in black with rather large hole in his back.

    The police arrived about 20 minutes later and the black guy was dead. The senior of the two cops, a grey headed old sergeant told my buddy to drag the dead guy back into the kitchen and hose down the blood trail in order to make it appear the man had been shot in the kitchen.

    The two policemen went back to the street to do some “paper work” and said they’d be back in a “few minutes” (about 30 minutes) to look over the crime scene in the kitchen. So my friend and his wife dragged the body back into the kitchen – and, on the advice of the wife – placed a large kitchen knife in the floppy’s hand.

    Outcome: The officers ruled self defense after the statement from two eyewitnesses and the evidence. No charges were ever filed.

    The second break-in artist. The cops found his body several blocks away. He had bled to death from a large bullet wound in the leg. The police said he could have saved himself if only he’d called 911 and got to an emergency room. Pity :!: :mrgreen:

    BTW, both black break in artists had long criminal felony records that included violence used against their victims. The M.O. they had was to break in houses where the believed the owners were on vacation and loot them. It was a great plan that only failed once. :mrgreen:

    Live by the sword, die by the sword. :evil:

    Step daughter went past the scene on the bus and noticed a body on the driveway. She wondered if she should have called the police but there were already people there assisting so she didn’t have to do anything. It has rocked her safe and secure world view though so some good came of it.

      If it just got her thinking about her own safety and the realities of life then the experience won’t be wasted. :grin:
