And guess who is in court

The original Stuff article this morning made the victims (house owner and son) sound like torturous psychos, it was later edited once more evidence had come to light, later in the day of trial.
Totally deserved what happened to them.

If you break into someones house and attack them. All bets are off, you are fair game.

In the USA....in NZ you would have to prove self-defense.

Unbelievable.

Sounds like he still had a knife on him and accidently cut his finger.
Will be interesting to hear the outcome.

Wow, A lot different than the original article this morning

Quite correct. Stuff's write up last night made the victims sound like psychos. Now today we have the little shit stating he was going to do them in. FFS Breaking in to the same house 3 times! Twice in a week.
If this piece of shit does not get to do jail time the entire system is completely fucked.

I can hear them in Texas right now- "Nothing a bullet wouldn't fix"

It's safer to say Texas than 'many of the members of this forum'.

IF anyone wants to see how little regard the media have for the facts when reporting, read the story published by stuff on this court case. No regard for the facts, sensationalised headlines, totally in favour of the burglar. It shows how little regard they have for the truth.
I read the stuff report and it made the farmer and his son out to be real headcases, but it was hard to understand if they had acted as reported by stuff why they would have called the Police, so it didn't read true.
Another example of how sensationalised reporting is used to discredit one party over another, whip up the online judgement and vitriol, only to find that when the truth and facts are exposed the actual incident is much different.

Most of the mainstream media don't care at all about reporting basic balanced information. They seem to behave more like activists than journalists. And there is nothing that really encourages them to NOT behave like a bunch of activists reporting sensationalist biased news with catchy headlines to make people feel strong emotions. Get clicks make money. I always end up thinking back to the fairly recent incident of mass reporting of fake news with a very obvious bias is this

No thanks

It’s actually really troubling what that young guy said in court. Pretty sure there’s some very serious mental issues there. Zero remorse and horrific intentions.

I have dogs to safely account for this kind of BS
