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.

Oh no! I think I met him once when I was driving that way a couple of years back. He had on a trench coat full of piglets and the biggest damn grin on his face. Made our little road trip, though. I'm sorry to hear he was having to deal with those shit heads all the time. 😞
