I don't give a shit about whether its either right or wrong for NZ to have a spy base, what I do give a shit about is that its seems that some of our judges just haven't a fucking clue - they are out of touch with either reality or the general opinion of the public. They on their highly paid high seats looking down upon minions and make some real fucked up decisions.
A politician, any politician, no matter the party, needs to start earning their pay by standing up and dealing to the law. That these fuckwits got off a charge of wilful damage at Waihopai is just screwed up. I studied jurisprudence at uni and one of the very vital things I learnt is that from an ethical point of view, if something is not right, don't do it. It's quite fundamental. They did something wrong - they broke the law. The law needs to deal with them.
The result of the damage is going to be paid for by whom? All of us. And why the fuck should we as taxpayers pay for it. Who is punished? Not the offenders on what seems to be a technicality, its us... we pay for it and its high time the people we pay to sit in parliament get off their collective fat arses and do something about.... geesh! I sincerely hope this non-guilty verdict is turned over on appeal.
What is worse is that the schoolteacher among them is going to be preaching this to the young impressionable kids he is teaching.
ReplyDeleteCome on Anne Tolley deal to him if the courts won't.
Not likely, she's too busy battling Daffy Mallard.
ReplyDeleteBecause the evidence pointed these guys as being the offenders, the judge should have directed the jury to find them guilty... gutless.
