We tried to remove it but failed so the boss rang the council. They weren't keen but after some discussion they did come out and remove it - and they did a good job.
Ammunition: Driving along the other day, and changing radio stations, as I do, I heard a guy phone in to suggest to ensure people have a gun licence every time ammunition is bought the person has to provide their licence. Pretty simple idea I would have thought. The host, who I think was Michael Laws, didn't think much of the idea and brought up the usual; licences can be forged, people could buy it for other people etc. At least it is an idea we should try.
Another Maori baby bashed to death: It never stops.
Baby Cezar Taylor has died in hospital after suffering severe injuries in an alleged assault.
The six-month-old died in Auckland's Starship Hospital.
His mother's boyfriend, James Allan Hemana, 30, appeared in Te Awamutu District Court yesterday afternoon charged with assaulting Cezar.
He was found at a house in Te Awamutu, Hemana, also faced two charges of failing to appear in Whangarei District Court on an unrelated matter.
Cezar was admitted to hospital with severe head injuries on Friday morning after an alleged incident at his home in Mangere East.
Detective Senior Sergeant Richard Wilkie said three women at the house where Hemana was found were being spoken to by police and could face charges.
I would like to know what the mother of the child knew about this guy she shacked up with. The baby is 6 months old and she has already moved on to another useless twit. Also what about the people hiding him - it seems they just don't care.
What can we do - I don't know.
All the usual excuses will come out. It is not a Maori problem - it is the effect of Colonialism and war (the 19th century wars!!) it is due to the low income Maori - but don't mention the fact that Samoans are below Maori in income but don't kill their kids.
But don't worry about the guy being charged - he will be out and about in under 30 years.
