Eight teens beating up a student one and won't be charged.

"The assault on the student at Lynfield College is an extremely serious matter. At Mt Roskill Grammar School we are investigating all of the options available. The matter is also in the hands of the police."

At the Lynfield College in Auckland, NZ, eight teenagers in the age between 14-16 stormed a classroom and attacked a student infront of both the teachers and the other students eyes.
They had been seen on the surveilllance camera and had been recognized there. They didnt use there schooluniforms so it was easy to find 'em in the croud. One of the students repeatedly shouted the name of a afghanic youth gang.

The sick thing in my opionion is how they couldn't get charged or anything by the police.
The teenagers parents and families had a meeting where they all got along deciding it haden't been necessary to go to the court for it.
But five have been reported to Youth Services in relation to the incident. The other three is still going through an investigation around this crime.

You will maybe see what the result will be like in a while, if i remember to update.

Searchtips

Just ask google mate, thats what i do.
No but seriously, i just use google. I start searching there, then i keep on clicking on new links from the page i find, and if i find a bad one i just go back, and maybe i start over again from google and tries another page with (as i hope) new information.

Did you know?

We have just seen a movie about colabrative information that our teacher found on youtube. It has so much and so new information that you never think of. When i saw this movie i thought about how the world will look like in about 10 years, and it seems like the internet and all the new technology never will stop growing. Probably we will all die 'cause of all the electricity that finally will stream through our veins lke the blood we have today.
Ill put up the video, and please tell me what you think about it, discuss :)


Herald news

This is my news source for my work around and about New Zealand.

Sweden vs. NZ

From my point of view it seems like New Zealand is very much like Sweden. They both share the 1st place in the world as the land with the lowest corruption. And they have the same way of leading the land, with a leading gouvernment and has a king and a queen(Elizabeth II).
And from reading on pages and in newspapers i can see that people are aloud to write the opinions if they want and to have demos and stuffs like that. So yes, we are pretty much alike is think. :)

ojdå

fuck, i forgot to write the last shit in english, sorry.

v36 The swedish media laws

Yttrandefrihetslagen:
Den säger att man får som människa i Sverige uttrycka sina åsikter utan att någon ska kunna sätta dig i fängelse eller så. Dock så får man inte uttrycka kränkande åsikter mot någon annan.

Tryckfrihetslagen:
Ungefär likadant, men den betyder att man får trycka sina åsikter i tidningar och på internet m.m. T.ex. så finns det i dagens tidningar sidor där läsarna får skicka in sina åsikter och dom publiceras.
