Psychopaths are beyond therapy.
So, shoot him then, as Laws would have?

Hard News: Living with the psychopath, in reply to Gareth Ward,
Given he served 85% of his sentence before parole and has been hit with the maximum ESO allowed I'm guessing he's not held in particularly high estimation by Corrections et al.
If we cant accept that this man could get better with incarceration, why do we bother with imprisonment? Why not shoot the fucker and be done with it , as Laws would expect? If we think this man is beast to all, then why would our intelligent friend want to bring to our attention that he experienced a human side that was caring and possibly beneficial to others for a fleeting moment in time.
If anyone finds it difficult to accept , given that he wont renounce his behaviour, then we as society let him down at birth and there on in after because nobody noticed that he as a child needed help.
I believe this man has earnt release, our judicial system says so.His conditions imposed are the harshest anyone in this country has ever or has yet to experience.
I am sure he knows how many feel. If he must behave contrary to his conditions, then he has been told the consequence and we have proof we need better mental care. -

I’ve long been puzzled at the longevity of these flowers.
They look like a rose. Even a rambling rose on the ground. Someone will know.....

Capture: Spring is Like a Perhaps Hand, in reply to Sophie G,
flowers in the top and bottom pictures?
Both weeds. The top vine is Podranea ricasoliana. Vigorous rambler on our back fence. Great for fast coverage.
Now the bottom I thought was an opening buttercup but not so sure. They sprung up with the grass new growth last year. -
Not a photo taken today but springy all the same. My plants , being as exotic as they are ;), require hot weather to do their thang.
Plus one t'other took. -
Not much in bloom yet but a couple of flowers around an’ about.

Have they stopped the inorganic roadside collections completely in Auckland?
Not quite but I will always support my friends and their choice of living and both these guys exhibit off their own right. As for inorganics , that's what I do all the time. :)

I met Andy by the way. Amazing collection. Would love to have one. Will start saving…
It took me 6 months of putting all savings aside to get t'other his b'day present. Wasn't easy but you manage when the time is right. I wanted one for years .
I heard last night that another friend had his glass in there. That's more I am saving for. I have booked a piece a year ago or so then up came Andy with a lamp I had reason to have to have....
Ah, talented folk, gotta luv'em
Glad you like them Jackson :)
