Website threats to MP

Police called over website threats against smacking bill MP - 21 Feb 2007 - Political News - New Zealand Herald It is evident that those parents who want to avoid prosecution under th crimes act for abusing children with violence are perhaps a little out of control when they start making threats to assinate an MP. The infamous CYFSWATCH blog was shut down by Google and although we are against censorship, hate speech is worse. Threatening our democracy with terrorism is not the answer. Parents who want to retain the right to hit their children are actively manufacturing criminals and future parents who can only control their children with threats of violence. The threat to assinate an MP is evidence that there is a concerted lobby to maintain a status quo that is not reasonable and is also very harmful. CYFS has its faults but it is better to have it than throw 14 year olds into jail for crimes like tagging and minor offenses. We need our jails to house violent criminals, and if that includes parents that beat their kids up, then at least they will not go out hunting MPs.
