My husband is African-American and his father owned a liquor store in Inglewood, California. One night, whilst he was closing up the store, three teens armed with baseball bats and machetes went into his store, smashing up stuff and grabbing whatever bottles they could. My husband's dad then pulled out a revolver and shot one of those teens through the neck, causing the other two to just drop the stuff they were trying to steal and run away. A lot of the businesses in that street were robbed but for many years after that incident, his liquor store wasn't. It was firebombed in retaliation because the teen he shot was the younger brother of one of those other teens who were smashing up his store, but he wasn't robbed again since. At the time, I thought what my husband's father did was excessive but at this point, I get it.

Most of these young people who are brought up in gang families, drug addicted and alcohol fuel whanau groups, just imagine a 3 to 5 year old in that situation that is imprinted on them for life future gangsters and hoods. The gangs are pulling the strings behind the scenes that is fact! how to fix it get these young people back to school employ truancy officers, if they refuse they go into a controlled facility to get help.

Another solution would be to go back to having cigarettes which seem to be the main item targeted in steel vending machines, and you purchase a token from the counter, for your cigarettes, if nothing more this would slow down and help to eliminate the opportunistic criminal.

It happened because Jacinda Ardern pressed the crime button, if I were prime minister I would not press that button

[@reubensj7366]

You can run to become Prime Minster, George. Go for it.

[@waynemohi2767]

Get over it, what on earth has the prime minister got to do with it, politics has f__k all to do with it . The parents need their assholes kicked as well as the brats they brought up, this kinda of crap isn't new people it happens all over the world ever since Adam was a cowboy.

Constantly focusing on the criminals, No concern for the victims of crime, People who run businesses. Using catchy words like "Complex issues" How about uphokd the law, Lock People up

[@matiumatiu5007]

NZ is very nice & we are very lucky, spoilt somewhat, no borders to other countries, no haters that want to bomb us, no world troubles in general except internally socially. Unfortunately as a young nation, we are starting to catch up to the real world with everything going on right now, doesn't help with the current govt but it's not 'all' their fault, this has been simmering for decades. I hope for the best for our babies as to what kind of NZ Aotearoa this will be by 2100, unfortunately the loving cuddles path might not be the answer in the long term, who knows, we don't really. The year 2050, or 2100 will tell us how we did. Cheers.

O the poor kids are the victims not the shop keepers. Woke madness is here nz

NZs Drive in shopping for the privileged how many countries can say the same 😆😂

[@Gemma62]

They need to Carrie a gun to protect Themselves I noticed on the news they say they’re as young as 10 year old that shouldn’t come into do the crime the should to the time By them putting Car s to smash into the shop they are ouch there was no one in there way they could really harm someone lock the up now before someone gets really Hurt

[@brendonwilson3830]

locking them up isn't going to do nothing 😂 yeah you'll be letting g time pass them but once they come out they would have met alot more other criminals inside influencing them more to do harsher crimes. what the police are doing now is good but they really need to be around the kids more and give them activities to do to keep their minds busy.

It will be interesting when the first shopkeeper pulls out a shotgun and blows a few of them away

@@Gemma62 I know that is 😔, you are right, seems to be heading that way, yesterday I was in super value in waiwhetu lower Hutt, I saw a 15yr old talking to 2 police officers, anyway I walked into super value and I saw 2 staff that were stressed, apparently this young man got caught stealing so he decided it was a good idea to smash 2 bottles of wine and not sure what else, but the staff members were cleaning his mess, he had a knife on him and waved it, gave some of the customers a shock, the police took the young man away, you are right about these kids, something has to be done.

[@westernkaos5496]

This stuff is great 🤣🤣

[@kevinwaho7657]

experiencing first hand that if you go to a country like the Philippines for example, if you were caught or seen doing this (citizen or foreigner), a bullet would likely come your way from security personnel, ain't no need to wait for police to intervene... these guys are visibly armed up with shotguns and automatic weapons and won't hesitate to put a bullet in a person if need be. Harsh justice over there. Maybe they should introduce that here, I can guarantee crime would drop dramatically, make it more dangerous and less appealing for people.

[@harore4078]

Bro they doing it for fun yah dork and they broke it's got nothing to do with being abused and that 🤣🤦 garrmon wake up the more they do it the more yungins wants to do it nothing gone change them it's not there fault and neither is there parents

[@laurieman55mccabe59]

understand the kids most of them come from one parent familys , and have no father role , its easy to blame them but its getting the root of the problem , its shocking for bissness whats ,going on , but locking kids up will just make it worse comming from broken home my self , u relize ,what going on , kids at that age are told or theated to do it by older cowards , who wont do it them selfs , scam bags , at or 12 that,s just not normal . its about seeing the generation cruse if u like ,
