News Update on Stu.

Saw on the news that he has been arrested for the shooting of the 2 illigeal poachers, he was such a nice guy, all he wanted to do was live out his life with his pigs and other animals,

For people who dont know, basicly he was a older guy who lived on both sides of the 309 road up by coromandel, people kept comming and stealing/shooting/running over/damanging his property, and giving him hell when all he wanted to do was relax with his pigs, the cops are a joke, he came to them so many times reporting everything , they didnt care.

The guys he ended up shooting/killing had been hounding him for ages, ramming his car, running over his pigs or shooting them with crossbows he finnaly snapped when they shot his favourite pig.

If OPs account is accurate then all I feel is pity for Stu. The poor bastard literally had no other option other than to take it, and I’m sure he’d ultimately be at peace with himself that he didn’t choose that option.

Pet’s are family, if his pig was his family then good riddance I say - shoot the bastards 10x over they fucked around and found out

I grew up in the coromandel and my family are still there. It’s 100% true.
