With the exception of dishonesty offences the Cops resolution rates are impressive.
I note it's resolved, not convictions they measure though.

I'm infavour of an ACC type fund for victims.
The thought being that the victims are not further victimised by the failure of the criminal to pay compensation.
The criminal is then to repay the govt.
I think Finland runs a system like this and it takes a bit of the sting out of SST. -
What's wrong with knocking on the back door of the pub at 1am and adding an extra $5 as I did when I was 15yrs old?

Southland Licencing Trust are to be admired for the work they've done.

GrandDad preffered whiskey though.

From the CCTV it seems to me the reason for the shooting was to kill, not to further facilate the robbery. I could be wrong, but murder wasn't the means it was an end in itself.

Point one: 2 years ago Christchurch was the murder capital of NZ (I think 8)
Point two: Any industry/trade connection was the sex industry (as the PM has called to limit retailing), specifically Street Prostitution made up 3.
Point three: Sikh religious belief allows re-marriage for widows http://www.stuff.co.nz/4582193a11.html

What seems to be clear is a societal break down in how one family & friends ended up (seemingly) comminting this crime.
Even clearer is that the same society - shopped these guys in no short time. That has to be a good sign.
I live near Riccarton Road and within 2kms of access to a 24hr dairy & Countdown all selling alcohol 24/7 & 50m from Pak & Save open till 11pm. Not a huge issue except for teens doing the samething I did as a kid in getting pissed in the park & marking a mess.
The historic Pub the Caledonian (Now closed to be knocked down for apartments) had the bottle store guy shot dead about 5yrs back, again a nice bloke just trying to get by.

2 years ago Christchurch was New Zealands murder capital. Most seemed to be street prostitution and therefore drug related.
Oddly the PM didn't call to end street prostitution, but the calls of blame the victim by closing their shops is odd to me.
The delay in cops going in is a result of our unarmed police force. Safe meeting points, prior to going in are a good idea and shouldn't change. Cops & Ambos were similarly blamed in ignorance in the Edgware Party (riot) deaths, & even our force in Timor when the Prez was shot.
Yes Sikhs are classy, not so the reports of the young wife being unable to remarry, I expected the media to announce she would be at risk of Sati.

Linger - I appreciate that, an honest and consistent stance. I'm not in favour of it myself -if I'm that far gone, bed baths and someone else can wipe my ass - heavan for the lazy.
