Kiwi saboteur jailed - Lilith7 - 01-12-2022
There seems no limit to the idiocy of some.
Lucky he didn't manage it, he'd likely have caused deaths, the damn fool.

"Graham Philip, the first person in New Zealand history to be charged with and plead guilty to sabotage, attempted to bring down the power grid across the entire North Island in protest against the Covid-19 restrictions and vaccine mandate.
It can also be reported that one act of sabotage resulted in a fire.
Crown prosecutor Amanda Gordon told the court Philip had shown “no remorse for his offending”.
“That’s very clear from the pre-sentence report.”
She also said it was “concerning” he believed his actions would not have caused harm.
Philip’s lawyer Bill Nabney said his client was inspired to act by the vaccine mandate, “a matter that concerned him greatly”.
He said Philip believed “the view of those who oppose Government actions weren’t being heard ... Something needed to be done”.

three years seems reasonable - now, what about all the other fuckwits at the parliament protests...

I'm slightly concerned though, about the possibility of this idiot spreading his CT bollocks to other prisoners. Although with any sort of luck, they might just tell him where he can put his daft ideas.
His wife's obviously not best pleased, poor woman.

For what he was going to do and what it could have cost in dollars and human life , 3 years is not much time at all in my book

Cutting down HT pylonswhich is what he was trying to do , would not have caused much disruption nor caused any loss of life the grid can automatically redistribute power around affected areas . easily . The Waihope 3 idiots were charged with destroying the 5 eyes radar dome but were found not guilty different strokes for different folks

The Spy Valley lot though were not threatening human life, just US intelligence budgets.
Which might be seen as sabotage, but really is just harassment. And from the pov of some, totally just.

The guy doesnt look right in the head, but what did attacking the power grid have to do with covid?
What was he trying to prove? He potentially would have been affected too.
RE: Kiwi saboteur jailed - Oldfellah - 02-12-2022
That lot are never right in the head.
