Hesi Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Tragic occurrence for the family and friends of those involved, but Happened to be on the road today listening to Newstalk ZB, which I turned off in the end, because of so many people calling in and all this fucking hand wringing about this is not the NZ they knew or know. Short memories methinks and lucky they did not cast their minds back to the 90's, when there were no less than 6 mass killings in NZ, the last in 97, before the 2017 mosque shootings. A lot of stupid people around, and a reminder of why talkback radio is bad brain food Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Globederby19 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Loan wolves are very hard to combat. Try tracking down the people involved in giving him a pump action shotgun. He had a history so had contacts. Tragic but becoming a part of life in crime central. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ngakonui grass Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 I got the feeling yesterday that the media would have been ecstatic if the shooting could have been linked to a persons political ideals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesi Posted July 20, 2023 Author Share Posted July 20, 2023 The media just go fucking overboard on stuff like this, it is pathetic. A simple but very sad case of an individual cracking. All this bs about any further threat to national security etc etc is laughable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ngakonui grass Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 I read where a Probation Officers notes to the sentencing Judge said the Reid ""had a low risk of reoffending"". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dancing Show Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Yes he was on home detention but given leave to go to work each day on the construction site.

The men worked at the construction site alongside the shooter, Matu Tangi Matua Reid, who was also killed. Reid, 24, walked on to the building in lower Queen Street on Thursday morning and opened fire with a pump action shotgun. Police said post mortems were expected to be completed in the coming days. A scene examination was continuing at the site, and the cordon around the immediate vicinity was expected to remain in place in the coming days, as police worked through the various building areas. "CBD residents and workers can expect to see a continued police presence in the area as this work is undertaken," Relieving Auckland District Commander Acting Superintendent Sunny Patel said. One police officer remains in hospital in a stable condition, and one officer is recovering at home from their injuries, he said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnight Caller Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 I don't condone the shooting up of anyone, but this reads like two onsite bullies got capped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
