If you keep doing this, then I think PC will start moderating the blog 24hrs/7days, which is not fun for regular readers/posters like myself.<br /><br />Can you leave us alone please? Otherwise, establish your own blog, which is free to set up. Why can't you do that?Kurtnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-87914164172741853972009-10-27T15:01:36.751+13:002009-10-27T15:01:36.751+13:00Well, that all makes for attractive reading.

S...<i> I’ve always loved Labour Weekend in particular,</i><br /><br />Sorry but that makes you a lefty!! I've always hated it! When is Employer's Day where workers work for free to show their gratitude? <br /><br /><br />The real problem is simple lack of police numbers.<br />You need about 1 cop per 100 people to police this kind of crime effectively. That would mean 40,000 cops for NZ's population. We have only 20% of that.<br /><br />Then, in the 60's it changed from the police <b>Force</b> to the police <b>Service</b>. That's where the rot really set in.<br /><br /><i>I struggle with the concept of tax at the best of times, but surely some decent policing is not too much to expect </i><br /><br />Why do you think policing should be any different from health or welfare or ACC or anything else provided by the state monopoly in return for a compulsory tax? There is no reason of course!<br /><br />I've a friend in LA, a couple of kids tried something similar to their law - and were shot on sight by the private security armed response. The statistics are clear: a fully private armed response is the only effective measure to reducing property crime. I don't understand why the Libz don't admit to this like everything else.Sinnernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-63099799126170633542009-10-27T08:39:04.431+13:002009-10-27T08:39:04.431+13:00I'll add another horror to the pot. This one c...I'll add another horror to the pot. This one could have ended in serious injury or worse.<br /><br />I was walking home from town a couple of years back, rather inebriated (cue a finger wagging from Lord Sir Fuckface Palmer) and took a shortcut through a fairly insalubrious part of town. It's a 5km walk from town to my home, so shortcuts are welcome, even dodgy ones. Anyway, shouting and screaming eventually assaulted my ears, and I became aware that this was a fairly intense domestic situation between a very angry man and a terrified woman. I identified the house, but in my uncoordinated state I figured it best to call the police rather than attempt to intervene myself. This resolve doubled after hearing the sound of what sounded like furniture being demolished inside and seeing a very large man through the window doing the shouting.<br /><br />I phoned our friends in blue. I got through to someone fairly quickly and reported the incident. They asked for the address, and when I provided it, they seemed to lose all interest. "Oh, that part of town, no point bothering" was the implication, if not the direct statement. Instead, the person on the end of the phone asked if I was sure there was a problem (well, erm, yes), and if I knew how long it had been going on for (no, I just got there), and if I'd mind waiting there, since they weren't sure when a car would be able to attend. What the hell was I supposed to do? Anyway, I duly waited, after about ten minutes the sobbing died down inside and lights went out. Who the hell knows what he'd done to her? I felt cowardly for not going in myself, but we have POLICE for this, damnit. I waited another 30 minutes in the cold night air at 2am. Still no sign of the boys in blue. I realised nothing further was likely to happen and left. I phoned back to tell them I was leaving, but got no answer. Not even diverted to another station.<br /><br />Meanwhile, there were a bunch of arrests for cannabis possession that weekend, and a fair number of speeding tickets issued. I'm really glad the priorities are right.

They all wear guns on their belts (even the lipsticky girly ones!!) and although they are quite friendly (I chatted with one about the relative approaches to law and order in our respective countries) they still watch you as you go past... not aggressively, but interestedly. One gets the feeling that the cops are actually being vigilant and taking their jobs seriously.<br /><br />The cops don't just stand there, of course, they patrol. On foot. Looking around. And also there are squad cars noticeable all the time. Does anybody in NZ remember what patrolling is all about? Yep.... thats it... walking around looking and taking notice of stuff. Geez, thats a novel approach isn't it!<br /><br />Robberies, property damage, graffiti, muggings, theft and P are not, as far as I can see, a problem in Argentina. I wonder why not? Could there be a connection here?<br /><br />Cheers - Dave MannAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
