Compare the written articles from NZHerald and Stuff:
https://www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/360549327/police-probe-former-mp-after-complaint-shoplifting
Clearly the Herald site was more restraint! Have to admit - my thoughts were going directly to a certain former MP!!
It goes begging 2 questions:
1 ; -- Who squealed to the news-media in order for them to go and ask both the Police and Foodstuffs for a confirmation of the name???? And why did the Police confirm that name in the first place - on what grounds???
2 ; -- FAR more important is the numbers of reported "retail crime incidents"!!!
Think about that for a minute;
That is some 20 000 for the year - laid over 300 stores! That works out at near enough 55 incidents per DAY!!! If you want to be generous and say that's near enough a quarter of stores one incident-- per day ( I am sure some stores will have more then one a day). . . No doubt that is one reason why grocery prices are so high (cost recovery??)
Morality is the thing you are doing when you think NO-one is watching you!!!
There is a reason why Abraham-ic faiths have the -- "Thou shall not steal" tenet!!!
Given that less then 47% of Kiwis admit to be adhering to ANY religion let alone
Abraham-ic faiths - this is what we can look forward to - an increase in NO morality along with the 'I can do whatever I want to' attitudes . . . Sad times are ahead!!
Have fun!
