Rocks thrown from overbridge
Jul 10, 2006



Porirua police are appealing for witnesses after rocks were thrown off a motorway overbridge onto passing vehicles on two occasions on Sunday.

Senior sergeant Tony Smith says a car was hit by a small piece of concrete shortly after midnight and an hour later a bus of partygoers was targeted at the same spot. No one was injured.

A teenager was convicted of manslaughter last week after the rock he threw off an Auckland overbridge killed a motorist.

Smith says police are worried about the latest incidents but they are not necessarily copycat crimes.

You all know (other than the Newbies) I got hit like this 18 months ago

I've talked to the police at length about this and the highest incident rates are the pedestrian overbridges, followed by the ones without on-ramps / off-ramps. There might be a total of 70 in Auckland but hurry up and do the highest risk ones.

Calm peaceful thoughts . . . blue sky . . . fluffy bunnies . . .

You're entitled Graham... I mean hell we all are... here we are living in this damned fine little country that's perfect but for a few small things..... the frustrating thing is that the powers that be seem increasingly intent on ignoring these imperfections and just doing what they need to to secure their futures and line their pockets!

And to protect our futures. Dont forget the biggest threat to society today appears to be free thought

What was the sentence duration of the last person who murdered a man doing this?

Bring back the lash

It wasn't murder it was manslaughter. The poor child had not understood that his actions would likely cause anyone's death. Afterall he'd done it many times before . . .

Just found this :

Rewiti will be held in a secure Child Youth and Family remand centre until sentencing in September.

So he'll get to play XBOX games until CYFs work out how many family conferences and counseling sessions he'll need to understand what he did was not an appropriate response to his quite understandable frustration at the institutional racism and bias that causes him to be helplessly trapped in a disillusioning poverty cycle . . .

Isn’t that multiple counts of vandalism as well then?

I hope his sentence is a long one. In an over crowded prison without luxuries like under floor heating, computer games or woodwork…he can have a TV though judging by tonight’s TV schedule.

You know exactly why I'm tearing my hair out with despair at this sodding country sometimes.... I love NZ, but (as most of you will know) I also have my very strong criticisms. Why all these people aren't rounded up and birched when they're young or shot when they're older is completely and utterly beyond me!

[jamieheasman]

I know what I'd do with these little f*ckers - put them on a plane to LA and set them up with a home in a proper 'hood! They wouldn't know what hit them and would soon be crying to come home to NZ where they can play at being big hard gangstas instead of dodging bullets on the way to the shops or school.

It's pathetic.

How about national service? A few months in Irag or Afghanistan should do the trick.
