<p>Well the moment he shot at police, shit changes.</p> -
<p>They are disgruntled?</p>
<p>I am disgruntled that they helped raise a feral piece of shit</p> -

<p><strong>9.02am:</strong> The family say they are frustrated at being left out of police efforts to end the siege.<br><br>
The spokeswoman said the whanau were notified that an incident was unfolding at the Onepu Springs family home yesterday just after 2pm.<br><br>
The information given to them was “pretty spasmodic and somewhat misleading†leaving the whanau often disgruntled.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Ah, so it's the police that handled this situation poorly from the outset!</p> -
<p>Apparently he has been arrested without further incident.</p>

<p><span style="font-size:14px;">Apparently he's been texting his family. From the Herald:</span></p>

<blockquote class="ipsBlockquote">
<p><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Calibri, Candara, Segoe, 'Segoe UI', Optima, Arial, sans-serif;background-color:transparent;">The gunman has indicated to family through text messages that he wants to come out but he wants the support of his family to do so and does not want to go to prison.</span></span></p>

<p> </p>
</blockquote>
<p> </p>
<p>So he's got a phone alright. I don't know why they don't just tell him he's being stupid and just to leave. But then again when you see what passes for logic in the family that's unlikely.</p>

<blockquote class="ipsBlockquote">Police had no proof the shots had come from the house. They could have easily come from the other side of the road where there was a firing range, she said

<p><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:rgb(85,85,85);font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Not as traumatic as actually being shot though, eh?</span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:rgb(85,85,85);font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Anyway, he's now been arrested. Now just wait for the whanau to protest his innocence.</span></span></p> -

<p> </p>
<p>Exactly. I'm also disgruntled on behalf of the officers seriously injured in hospital, and their worried families, thanks to that fucktard.</p> -
<p>Well, I suppose if he comes out with family, he shouldn't have to go to prison since he's ending it peacefully. It's only fair. Maybe after shooting several people, he might be able to enjoy home detention. Perhaps even with conditions to allow him to work eight hours a day as well. In fact, bugger it - throw away the electronic bracelet. We just don't understand what he's had to go through over the last 18 hours. It's tough, OK guys?</p>

<p>Only filth make demands on police after one of their relatives has decided to start shooting at them.</p>

<p>I've tried to work out what was supposed to be typed here but I can't</p> -
<p>Sounds like him and his whanau are ferals, "could have come from a shooting range" ffs. Were the people at the shooting range firing at the plane that was overhead too?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've got a mate who was related to Stephen Wallace, he's normally good company but I've had to bite my tongue a few time over the years as hes twisted himself in knots trying to claim the police were at fault not the nutter who wouldn't put down his weapons when confronted by an armed cop.</p> -

<p>Family members voiced encouragement and tapped the car as he was driven away.<br>
They gathered around to pray with a priest.</p>
<p>Mr Warren's mother Renee Wetini told the <i>Herald</i> her son was "clearer" in his head.</p>
<p>"He's a bit clearer in his head, he would have been scared yesterday, frightened...with the helicopters and everything."</p>

<p> </p>
<p>I expect the loud bang of the gun to have been frightening too, maybe that's what happened, they gave him a fright so he accidentally pulled the trigger, lots?</p> -
<p>This family makes me want to vomit. Hard to recall such complete blame transferal.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As for frightened, how the fuck does this dumb bitch think the police felt when bullets started flying? The families, when they got the call that their partner/brother/father had been SHOT and rushed to hospital???</p> -
