Scum

On Anzac Day of all days. This scum bag deserves a right good kicking. What a pond feeder.

A man has been arrested for stealing a bag of trumpets belonging to a military band at an Anzac Day service in Christchurch this morning.

The alleged thief took no notice of the many law enforcement officers waiting for the service to start when he grabbed a band member’s duffel bag at the Cranmer Square ceremony about 5.20am.

Inspector Mike Coulter said the man on a bike cycled past the band member who was having a cigarette at the time.  Read more »

This just makes me feel sick

A cash strapped rest home worker caught stealing from a 95-year-old man has been derided by a judge who labelled the theft “about as low as a person can get”.

On the evening of March 18, Melissa Kaye Jones, 30, was helping the man shower in his unit at  the Woodfall Lodge Rest Home in Feilding.

“She made an excuse to leave the room… she entered [the man's] bedroom and removed his wallet from his trouser pocket,” a police summary says.

Jones took $40 and put the wallet back, but her actions were caught on a camera the man’s family had installed in his room.

Despite this, she initially told police a friend had given her the cash. Even when the video footage’s existence was revealed, Jones said the episode was an “accident”.

Preying on the weak and the vulnerable, and then lying about it, what a quality human being.

Seems the family were suspecting something as they had installed video surveillance.

You’ve got to hand it to the left for their monumental stupidity.

Last night on TV One the Howard League (hijacked by Mike Williams and other Labour flunkies) claimed a coroner’s report will show prison guards could have stopped infamous scumbag Antonie Dixon’s suicide.

Corrections, sensibly, said their staff got it right by ensuring none of their guards were put at risk.

[T]he Department of Corrections has defended its staff, saying Dixon was a difficult prisoner and staff took correct action when responding to the suicide.

“During his time in custody there were numerous incidents including violence against staff and other prisoners; damage to prison property; possession of contraband including weapons he manufactured; positive tests for drug use and several concerted attempts at inflicting serious self harm,” Jeanette Burns from the department said.

“On the night Mr Dixon died, staff had to balance the safety of themselves with that of a serial, violent offender. Staff safety is paramount, and officers made the right decision at the time when unlocking his cell.”  Read more »

Remember the story about Noodle Man’s mammy bleating about getting fed only noodles while in Police cells. Turns out the little shit is actually a violent little scumbag:

A Wairarapa man who was angry about only being given instant noodles to eat while in custody at Masterton Police Station last year has been convicted and sentenced to six months’ supervision for a violent Christmas assault.

In the early hours of Boxing Day Callum Mahupuku, 20, got involved in an altercation with a man on High Street, Masterton, which eventually led to him assaulting him and leaving him with a multitude of injuries.  Read more »

Stewart Murray Wilson is one sick bastard. He believes he ended up in jail, not for a legacy of heinous rapes but because of the “sisterhood”.

Wilson was plotting to clear his name and get revenge on what he calls the “sisterhood”.

He called the 3 News Wellington newsroom after we wrote asking for an interview. And in a series of phone calls he told 3 News about his plans and his theories on how he ended up in jail.

Wilson said some of the women he was convicted of committing sexual crimes against banded together against him. He claimed they were lesbians that he turned straight, out to get ACC compensation and muddy his name.  Read more »

Look at these drop kicks. I think a spell in the cells for a few years might sort them out.

A new, more aggressive and highly organised breed of boy racer, who police say see them as targets, has emerged in Christchurch.

Acting Sergeant Clay Penrose, of the Canterbury road policing group, said a marked resurgence in boy racer activity had brought with it “hard-core” elements, who displayed a “gang-mentality” never encountered before.

Social networking was used not only to organise gathering places, but to air aggressive comments about what boy racers want to do to police, some of which was being carried out.

Even an effective “anti-team policing” unit had been created, where members wore sweatshirts with FTP ( f… the police) emblazoned on the back.  Read more »

Some people are just taking the piss, all the time, even in prison. It is high time that Aaron Forden learned some tough lessons. He needs to be put in a cold, dank, concrete cell and fed only on things that can be slid under the door.

New Zealand’s most notorious prison escaper has smashed up a new high-tech cell built at great expense to contain our most dangerous criminals.

The Corrections Department spent $180,000 refurbishing a cell in the maximum security prison at Paremoremo. But last weekend, only six hours after being placed there, Aaron Forden ripped into it.

Seven months ago, the Herald on Sunday revealed that Forden, dubbed “Houdini” for his repeated escapes, had destroyed another cell. He had been placed in the detention centre known as ‘the pound’ after barricading himself in a tower at Paremoremo.  Read more »

A serial conman who ripped off little old ladies has been sent to jail. The wonder is he is actually going to jail, normally the liberal panty-waist judges give them home detention and a cuddle:

One victim of a serial con artist who ripped off more than 60 big-hearted Cantabrians walked two hours to court today just to watch “the bloody crook” go to jail.

Kim Barwell, 47, used a well-rehearsed petrol scam where he would pose as a farmer who had run out of petrol.

The caregiver would ask them for petrol money so he could get home, promising to pay them back straight away, and even offering them free meat from his non-existent Canterbury farm.

He targeted dozens of people, often elderly shoppers, in his scam which pocketed him more than $5000.  Read more »

Everyone knows my tolerance for looter is very low…anyone who goes and takes advantage of people suffering in the wake of a natural disaster really should be hurt…badly:

Looters claiming to be contractors have hit at least one tornado-damaged Hobsonville home, prompting authorities to tighten security in the area.

Cordons were set up around the Wallingford Way area after it was badly hit by Thursday’s deadly tornado.

But despite the security measures, looters were able to enter the cordon zone by posing as contractors.

Civil Defence controller Clive Manley said he was aware of one such incident over the weekend, which was reported to police.

He said it was an isolated incident but it was being taken “very seriously”.

“This goes on in normal life and you would hope that it would stop in these sorts of events, but unfortunately there are still people out there who do these things and they continue to do them, which is most unfortunate.”

Mr Manley said security at the cordons had been tightened as a result.
