Fish 0 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 I'm confused. Is the problem a jetski going too fast? what has that got to do with discussing the murdering of someone? Jetski's are a known problem. There is also a known system of dealing with them. Getting all vigilante is one thing, and I understand the frustration around jetski's. But are you guys actually discussing the justification of homicide cause someone is going too fast on a jetski? What are you going to do? walk up to someone at the boat ramp and attack them with a filleting knife? Just breath in, breath out, count to ten, and get some perspective....

Steve Pope 255 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Interesting to note that all boats are at anchor, (not sure if that includes Dtwo's) yes the sea flea may piss you off re noise etc. but is he actually doing anything dangerous? I would have thought that the rules would / should apply when yachts / boats are under navigation. I saw something similar at Whakapirau, sea fleas zooming "safely" a spectator on the beach getting upset and agitated for no reasonable reason. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Black Panther 1,776 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 The only medical issue I have had on a boat in 50 years was a burn caused by a powerboat wake as girlfriend was draining spaghetti. Yes it's dangerous. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well imagine if your kids are swimming around the back of the boat and the jetski comes around the front. So yes, it's obviously dangerous. It is also illegal and ignorant. The 5 knot law applies 200m from shore and 50m from other vessels. Clearly this guy doesn't know, doesn't care, or both. And to calm down those who would suggest murder would be a disproportionate response, I'll spell it out: the topic post was tongue-in-cheek. Take a breath.

Take a breath. Breaking legs - too much? Apparently Trump was talkin tongue in check the other day too... I've always thought it important to prove they are breaking navigation bylaws. How do you prove they are within 50 m of you? If you can throw an empty glass bottle and hit them, they'd def be within 50 m. Even if you miss, those empties float, and wont do well if it at high speed. Could damage their machine... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zozza 363 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 I would like to beat the %$#@ out of that guy. Unfortunately, a scumbag like that is not worth doing time in the clink. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thats easy, Section 25 Evidence Act - opinion evidence is admissible from experts. The court would readily accept evidence from a harbour master who would state there qualifications and experience then give evidence on a speed and distance estimate based on the video. Police can also prosecute speeding offences this way but it is rare these days. So the video and some S25 evidence would cover it nicely. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Did you not read the thread title? The 'Justifiable Homicide' bit? Incase you are not aware, homicide means killing someone. The question I posed, is what are you actually going to do? Are you actually going to go and kill someone. Having your morning coffee disturbed is not justification for homicide. And is there a real safety issue? There is only a safety issue if there are people in the water. There wasn't... So all we are talking about is breaching a bylaw. How many of you guys breach bylaws all the time? LJ's in dinghy is a bylaw... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But language can be a funny thing. I often read what is written... There was a time when what was said was what was meant. I understand in these modern times of social media etc, that what is said often means something else. And what it means is up for personal interpretation, like black is white and what not.

Kevin McCready 83 Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Violence, guns or beer cans, is never a solution. Let's not normalise it here in NZ in the way we've just seen in the Capitol Putsch. BTW, the best thread on the putsch is this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fish 0 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 KM got a ban for making reference to someone staring in a snuff movie. I actually think he has a legit point. The hypocrisy is deep in this one. Here this thread us asking for support to kill someone, cause they disturbed someones morning coffee. What is the difference? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
