Hard week to be a NZ Right Wing Tough On Crime redneck dickhead

ByMartyn Bradbury

If you have a settler cracker get tough on crime redneck in your whanau, reach out to them and give them a cuddle, because post the Royal Inquiry into abuse in State care, it’s been a hard week to be a NZ Right Wing Tough On Crime redneck dickhead.

In NZ we have angry Māori and Pacific youth causing crime in shops staffed by exploited migrant Indian and Chinese workers while the white middle class suburbs gasp in fear their local got hit in a ram raid.

It’s the suburbs rarely impacted by crime who fear it most and scream ‘something must be done’.

The mainstream media love crime stories because viewers react emotionally, that emotion has been manipulated by tough on crime politicians into ever increasing draconian counterproductive social policy.

The tragedy of how we’ve collectively allowed this get tough on crime mind set to infect justice, healing and redemption should shame us.

200 000 kids, we tortured them, sexually abused them and physically mistreated them.

80-90% of gang members were abused in state care.

Allow the magnitude of that mutilated social policy sink in.

Our ignorance at the interconnected nature of trauma has allowed us to have our anger to be manipulated into political vengeance that only serves to make things worse.

We are an emotionally stunted people, fixated on cow udders, rugby and hiding domestic violence, having the true obscenity of our ignorance exposed is a shell shocking moment, so cuddle that settler cracker get tough on crime redneck in your whanau because suddenly seeing the enormity of their shallow cultural illiteracy must be very hard for them.

Military boot camps don’t work, banning gang patches won’t work, 3 strikes won’t work.

Our focus must move away from making a guilty person suffer to healing them and giving them the opportunity of redemption.

The punishment is the imprisonment of their liberty, it isn’t to then make them suffer while imprisoned.

We are not focused on healing the victim or the perpetrator, we are only funding the suffering and calling that justice.

Our structural poverty and lack of community infrastructure to cope with that poverty is our wound that never heals.

This report changes everything.

  1. I saw a pedophile in Timaru get a non custodial sentence for abusing a 7 year old girl yesterday.

    The defence wanted a 95% sentencing discount, the prosecution ‘only’ 75%.

    75% was applied to 7 years, giving 21 months, which was then reduced to 10 months. The judge noted that the victim’s family might not consider it justice (quote), but lol at them (paraphrase). The judge said it was the strangest sexual offending in nature he’d ever seen.

    I think the ‘right wing lock them up dickheads’ aren’t wrong when they ask what good giant reports are when you let convicted pedos off and blatantly flip the bird at the victims, personally.

    1. Come on, grow up – your ‘right wing lock them up dickheads’ are the ones who enabled the sentence yesterday. They are in power. Have been for months now.

      To the point Martyn was making. The report, points out where and how this shit went down. And a big part of this is the lock em up mantra which enabled the kiddy fuckers free range to use the power they had been given – to be habitual pedophiles.

      So I say again, grow up and read the report before you offer your half arsed opinion.

  2. Abuse of power and authority is not a NZ trait it is world wide .It has hidden in the shadows by religion and twisted authority .
    Children of my era were still seen but not heard but I am glad to say that that has changed .There is no guarantee abuse will not happen still but there are more ways of it coming to light .Children are believed and listened too .

  3. NZ right wing tough on crime redneck dickheads aren’t at all worried about this report if their media cheerleader Heather du p A is anything to go by. Usually she’s just a cunt but yesterday she went for capitals bold underlined cunt. First she dismissed the report and any hope of change because it was the parents fault not the institutions. Then she rejected compensation because the wrong sort of people would get it, poor, addicts, gang members, and they would
    waste it on booze, drugs and bags.

    3. Her and her morning friend give the right wing a bad name .Do not judge all National voters by those two cretins.

    4. I’d say she is appalling alongside her husband who enjoyed the generosity of John Key’s Friday night parliamentary drinks. Says all you need to know about 2 plus 3 Allen.

  4. Agree with you about helen do please me allen she is a right wing cunt and should fuck of back to South africa and take her judgemental sugar daddy with her.

      1. And there it is, you don’t care unless of course it fits in with your right wing narrative. I care because they will replace him with a National stooge.

        It seems you like incompetence. No one cares for your opinion, to be fair.

  6. Wasn’t long ago that corporal punishment was legal in schools, where a teacher could beat someone else’s kid and then go back to the blackboard as if nothing had happened. If anyone needs a metaphorical punch in the face it is these fucking teachers. Can everyone who went through this schooling get an inquiry and a payout as well? What about those receiving violence from those who were mistreated in care? Do an inquiry on those who went through inquiry? If the NZ government supports Israel’s war on kids, and the NZ government also supports an inquiry into NZ kids, does that mean it only cares about some kids?

  7. ‘This report changes everything’. Oh Bless. The report will change nothing. I wasn’t born yesterday.

  8. Her and her morning friend give the right wing a bad name .Do not judge all National voters by those two cretins.

  9. “ It’s the suburbs rarely impacted by crime who fear it most and scream ‘something must be done’.”

    So out of idle curiosity, what’s the reaction in the suburbs often & regularly impacted by crime?
