Drugs, Domestic Violence, Copper theft & Burglary!

Kia Ora,

Was going to write about rats today but then seen this in an investment news letter I was reading.

It was the answer to a question about what caused most killings. In New Zealand Domestic Violence would rate one then possibly drugs or drunk drivers.

Copper theft was main point of article in letter due to rising price, but there has been a warning by New Zealand police on this exact point recently.

With the conitnued worsening of economic conditions people have been cutting the copper earthwires on power poles. Not only does that put the person cutting the wires life at risk but it also, once completed, causes the ground around for something like 8 metres to become electrified.

Not sure how burglary fits in but as the quote comes from a Sheriff in the US were home owners are more likely to have a firearm that could explain both copper & burglary been in the mix to begin with.

Funny but just yesterday it was also mentioned by New Zealand police in one district for the upswing in crime. They said they were getting more in particular domestic violence & alcohol induced violence as usual this time of year but it was worse due to the prevailing economic conditions.

With the financial situation expected to get worse by a long way over the coming months if not years there will only be a further increase in crime.

Not to mention the pressure that is going to go on with less drugs on the street after a big drugs raid today. With as it was reported over the radio station armed police storming a gang pad in Auckland at the same time drug raids took place in Napier.

I support the police in this task but it will lead to in the short term at least an increase in crime, in particular burglaries & violent crime.

Overnight austerity measures have again been the target of demonstrations & riots in Britain. What is happening now & the way the governments are handling it, in particular the US answer of quantitive easing(another way of saying printing currency) is what led to the French Revolution.

This is why the Chinese are trying to manage theirs disregarding threats & comments from the US. They know from their long history that the greatest threat is from their own people especially in this part of the economic cycle.
