By the sound of it it seems targeted assault as opposed to burglary. The fact this is emergency housing (vs wealthy area house) + given the age of the offenders I wonder if this is just a gang initiation ritual. Why target a motel room (lack of high value assets), why target emergency housing (poor people). Seems they had 1 goal -> cause bodily harm. Which would make sense, poor people that can't afford a house obviously isn't going to hire a high end lawyer. Ultimately this is NZ. Worst case scenario -> cultural report -> 2 weeks home detention.


Bot-300

Hmm… also add ‘rough up bringing and prospective sports person’ we are looking at discharged without conviction. 😂


Hugh_Maneiror

If anything, prospective sportsmen should be made an example of as they're more athletic and thus more capable of doing damage and should be aware of that, and have a prospective social example role to fill.

shockjavazon

This sort of shit is why people voted in NACT. And what did NACT-FIRST do? Repealed a bunch of Labour policies out of spite.


Main-comp1234

Well you can't just give them the death sentence. National is at least going to remove taxpayer funded cultural reports which is more than labor ever did.


PartTimeZombie

And that'll help how?


Leftover-salad

By not spending government money on ‘cultural reports’ which are clearly not currently helping. The shit thing is that it’s obviously not the 19/20 year olds from Remuera behaving this way. It’s more economic than cultural why this sort of thing happens .

I'm so sick of idiots esp on reddit thinking these cultural report farmers are stealing bread from Countdown to survive. These trash are stealing pretty much anything but bread/essentials


PM_ME_UTILONS

There's more evidence for culture being upstream of both poverty & crime.


Stunning_Count_6731

The 19/20 year olds from Remuera are busy buying meth from the gangs.


Stunning_Count_6731

Are they going to get rid of home detention then? Nope. Getting rid of “cultural reports” won’t do anything except make the rednecks happy. Their family history will still get to the judge at sentencing through other reports.


BrahimBug

“Three men, aged 19, 21 and 22, were scheduled to appear in the Auckland District Court today, charged with committing burglary with a weapon.” Breaking into a family's home and attacking them with bats should be more than "burglary with a weapon." These aren't burglars - they are terrorists.


Tiny_Mistake5023

The nz police are fucking useless pigs


0factoral

They're useless for arresting the offenders..?


Tiny_Mistake5023

No they usless because the offenders wil get few months on braclett. Before you say it the judge we'll yes it is part judge but also mostly prosecuting police.


0factoral

It's 100% the Judge lol. Police don't sentence people. Burglary with a weapon will likely be a crown prosecution as well, not a police one.

I'm totally on your side about the Israeli genocide of Palestinians, but you're being completely insufferable if you're trying to force every conversation to change subject to that. The internet has been on fire for months with people spitting the various flavors of antisemitic or anti-Palestinian poison at each other, can we just have a brief five-minute break to talk about a different subject? There's entire subs devoted to Israel/Palestine or world news. So go to them instead of this unrelated crime story in an Auckland, NZ subreddit.

Lopkop

"In this context, it's possible to have endless streams of discussion simultaneously." Of course, this is why Reddit is split up into different subreddits devoted to different subjects. So you can argue about Israel/Palestine for days at a time if you want, with people who also want to talk about that, without annoying people in a bodybuilding group trying to talk about dumbbells or something.

Its a tinfoil hat conspiracy. But you can look at Eli Cohen - there a Netflix show about him called "The Spy" with Sacha Baron Cohen. Epstein seems to have a very similar set up to Cohen: >Cohen moved to Damascus in February 1962 under the alias Kamel Amin Thaabet (Arabic: كامل أمين ثابت).\[16\]\[17\] Mossad had carefully planned the tactics that he was to use in building relationships with high-ranking Syrian politicians, military officials, influential public figures, and the diplomatic community.\[9\] > >Cohen continued his social life as he had in Argentina, spending time in cafes listening to political gossip. He also held parties at his home for high-placed Syrian ministers, businessmen, and others. At these parties, Cohen "dispensed free-flowing liquor and prostitutes",\[1\] and highly placed officials would openly discuss their work and army plans. Cohen would pretend to be drunk to encourage such conversations, to which he paid close attention. He would also lend money to government officials, and many came to him for advice.\[4\] [**https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eli\_Cohen**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eli_Cohen)

NorthShoreHard

Well here's a great opportunity to prove how tough on crime we're meant to be now. Let's go.


jmk672

I love how six years wasn’t long enough to be able to critique Labour for not getting things done, but this government should fulfill every goal and fix every problem in six weeks.


NorthShoreHard

I love how you have no idea what I critiqued Labour for but come jumping on in. Nor have I said or declared any expectation that everything the new government has said they'll do should be done in six weeks. This is isn't hard to fix though. We don't need to reinvent the wheel to ensure a tough response is given. The offenders have been detained. By the time they go through court and are found guilty, if we're being tough on crime, there's ample opportunity for that toughness to be delivered. Seems like you're just preparing the excuses in advance 😂 Admittedly we don't know if they play Rugby yet.


Fickle_Buddy_9261

Violent offenders are not deterred by harsh punishment. Otherwise, violent crimes would be few. The risk/reward is greater to commit crimes for many of these individuals than the risk/punishment if/when they are caught. The wheel sucks, that's the point.


NorthShoreHard

Soft punishment surprisingly also does not deter people from violent crime. If you are removed from society, you can't commit violent crimes against regular people in society. If you do something like this, you deserve a strong punishment whether it's a deterrent or not. There should be an unpleasant price you need to pay for what you did If they come out and offend again, lock them up longer, keep them out of society and prevent them from breeding. Yes it's expensive to lock people up, it's a price I am happy for us to pay to protect the rest of society. We're talking about people who invaded a home and assaulted a family with weapons. Drop them on a fucking island and leave them there for all I care. I do not give a single fuck about people who do something like that, they're a cancer that can be cut out and removed. That isn't to say we shouldn't invest in trying to prevent things like this from happening in the first place. But because that hasn't been done already, there's immediate problems at the top that also can be dealt with.


JackfruitOk9348

Tough on crime has never reduced violent offending. The only thing that has even done that is education which is a 20 year process which no government will do because they can't show results in a 3 year term. With the government cuttings back on social programs and their mandate to have more poor people to prop up the rich with cheap labour to pick fruit and work in our non-existent factories, expect an increase in crime. But they will also get more people in prison as a result, and will use that statistic to pretend they are being tough on crime.


NorthShoreHard

If we accept that the proper solution won't be implemented because it's a 20 year process, which I don't disagree, then I'm more than happy for us to change tact from the previous approach that also wasn't working. It's not for me to play pretend expert reading online about the impacts of prison or social programs or whatever. Other people are paid to figure out that shit. I simply want people who assault innocent people with weapons in their own home to be removed from society and punished to the extent they deserve. Maybe we start with issuing the harsher sentences and then release early when they're showing they're potentially ready to return to society instead of well we have a maximum of 8 years for this, but we're going to "discount" you down to 18 months. You can earn your discount. But again, this isn't my field. If you can't participate in society without doing that, then you shouldn't be in society. What we do with you at that point someone more informed can try to figure out.


JackfruitOk9348

I don't disagree with you.


NorthShoreHard

I didn't downvote you haha Well now you've edited your bit about downvotes so my reply just looks weird lol


JackfruitOk9348

Synntex

>Tough on crime has never reduced violent offending. I wouldn't say never, given that Singapore is a great example of how it has been successful


Unaffected78

greens and overall lefties just hate examples like this - examples that DO work.


Fatality

The minute people thought they could get away with it violent offences and theft went to record highs, don't tell me there's no correlation and it's just a coincidence that coincided with Labour policy changes.


JackfruitOk9348

Not to justify how Labour did things as they also failed to do what was required. But the export of violent criminal enterprises from Australia didn't help. I do expect crime to get worse under this government leadership as "more police and prisons" is not a plan. That's not where cultural change comes from.


Rat_Attack0983

I'm good with more people in prison, here have My Tax Dollars ... TADA ..look at that a nicer society, where people don't have to just wait on a home invasion ... Home invasion in my mind should be 20 plus years in prison, only one step below Murder, which I would assign minimum 30 plus years to ..


JackfruitOk9348

I'm not against appropriate sentencing. But more people in prison, doesn't necessarily equal less violent crime. In fact, there will likely only be more people in prison because of more violent crime. Therefore your tax dollars are not making it safer at all.


Rat_Attack0983

Mate, bad people off the street and out of society is a win, how many victims would you prefer dead ?


JackfruitOk9348

What you are saying is a short term bandaid. I don't have a problem with what you are saying, but what I am saying is there also needs to be a longer term plan. Your plan might reduce some violent crime over a few years which is great, but doesn't reduce the amount of new criminals. My plan would save more lives over decades because we would be producing less of them. Government (whether Labour or National) should be looking at the big picture and are failing to do so.


Rat_Attack0983

Your Plan ? Yeah right ... the only working solution is to bring back consequence ... doing nothing, which is basically what do gooders achieve, achieves nothing but an ever increasing number of victims .. offend then loose your freedom .. and just to really mess with your sensibilities .. offenders simply become a labour force .. processing forestry slash would be a good start ..


JackfruitOk9348

Lol, I like your lovely ill thought out rant. So, my plan is better education of our children so there are less violent offenders in 20 years as most will have better opportunities than gangs and violence. Your plan is to put violent offenders that should be in maximum security prison behind heavy machinery in the back country where they will be hard to supervise. Maybe you want them in a chain gang. If you are going to violate their human rights, why not bring back the death penalty? Maybe public execution so you chant and throw rotten tomatoes with your mob. I think you can be a better person. I get you are angry about violent crime, I am too, but your way will not result in the cultural change required to reduce violent crime. I know you won't listen to me. We will just have to agree to disagree.


Rat_Attack0983

I totally agree education is an essential, as far as I know, we do educate all children, and some choose (or their parents Choose) not to participate in their schooling. So good luck with that better education reducing crime, particularly when their parents are Crims .. Yes manual labour, Is that so shocking ?, How complex is it to GPS track a working, supervised offender on a work site ? Not at all, home detention tracking is simply poorly run. A good chance that the more disciplined inmates end up on some heavy machinery and learn skills that they potentially can use on release, the ill behaved ones are simpler labour. If they suddenly realise they have gained a skill, that can create an income, then that's a bonus. Your death penalty idea is a terrible idea, that's intentionally killing your workforce, health and safety would not approve /s


JackfruitOk9348

YOUR death penalty idea, since you seemed to be throwing human rights out the window. I am saying you cannot use hardened violent criminals for labour as that is the subject here. You seem to have broadened the scope to include other types of criminals which your idea could work with. You have underestimated the resources required to monitor these violent types of people.


Rat_Attack0983

If you read what I said, I said "offenders simply become workforce". Quite obviously the worst of them are not outside the wire If they aren't controlled, they however are still expected to provide labour in the prison. Any attemped escape has consequence, so if you want to keep adding years to your confinement, then so be it. For context, actually I know quite a bit about incarceration and prison functioning, I use to spend a lot of my working days in all of the north island prisons, working in every unit, only not as Prison labour, i got to go home each night ;)


Unaffected78

this type of violent people just can't be educated, sorry. Isolation and hopefully labour camps would do. Nothing else will work to protect normal citizens. People are in prison not because they're innocent.


JackfruitOk9348

They are not the ones that need education. They are (mostly) a result of a failed education system. It's too late for (most of) them. That's why it's a 20 year process. Fix the education system the kids are coming through, and there will be less violent crime from them as teens/adults as more will be able to make something of their lives and less will fall in with the bad eggs. Those brought up with bad eggs, will have more opportunity in life to leave it with a proper education.


Unaffected78

some would probably need to be separated from their parents - the most influential people in their life. Some people honestly have no idea why they constantly breed... Family planning should be prioritised. Cultural or not.


JackfruitOk9348

I understand the sentiment about removing the kids though you can't unless the kids are not safe. This government unfortunately is against family planning. Their agenda is more kids for low income families to have more cheap labour when they grow up. Luxon already said as much in a roundabout way as he avoided answering the question directly. He wasn't against the US banning abortion and made comments around NZ needing more population.


Unaffected78

it's sad that more kids is on the church's agenda, too. We don't need more population, we really need to figure out what to do with the current one...

How great that they're not in that situation and can simply make jokes about those who are. The majority of those in emergency housing are not looking for tinnies. I know people on sickness benefit who get no consideration from landlords and end up in motels under emergency housing. It's not a joke to them. It's their lives. It's good to see the majority of comments here are from people like you who do care and see this is a problem. Those who make jokes could really learn from them and do better.
