"Crusher Collins" Morphs; Now "Crusher Tolley"

As the ad says for breast cancer screening, "Get the girls out boys." Honestly! If the government thought they had done one u-turn too many lately what made them think the populace would ra ra them for crushing one car? It's nearly three years since the Act and "Crusher Collins" who didn't crush one dinky toy. Now some poor hoon gets caught for the third time. Lucky for him the law only allows cars to be crushed. No doubt however his driving spirit will be dented. Whether his mates will be deterred from hooning is dubious.

What a photo op! The Minister on top of a crushed car. No doubt it felt good and the voters will be distracted from such mundane policies as selling off state assets to Mum and Dad investors; the same ones who buy those cars for Junior. I wonder why such a crime does not result in a jail term of say 3 months? That will at least keep one hoon off our roads for that time. I suspect that hoons come from whanau who can afford such cars and are therefore Middle Class. Crushing a car is embarassing  for that whanau but not as bad as a jail term. So come on "Crusher Tolley"; crush the car, AND throw the hoon in jail.
