Well faith can move mountains but good policy will also help. Good Samaritan knifed to death in central Auckland. His own fault he should have crossed to the other side and minded his own business. Just one of those things. A toddler shot to death watching TV. How was the gunman to know she would have got in the way of the bullet. Just one of those things. Three people bludgeoned to death with the butt end of a shotgun in an Auckland RSA. Just one of those things. A German backpacker murdered in Taranaki. Again her own fault. Her parents told her not to accept lifts from strangers. Just one of those things. Two 11 week old babies abused and beaten to death. They were Maori and those responsible got away with it. Who cares. Just one of those things. I hope our Justice policy includes the death penalty or are the cases listed and hundreds of others "just one of those things". To the do-gooders and hand wringers the last forty years has been a disaster. It is time to get rid of the wet bus ticket justice system and bring back the rope. Has NZ First got the guts or do we just like making tough talk. Mr Peters said he trusts the people to make a decision on Nov 8. Well faith can move mountains but good policy will also help.
