How is this man funded?

Just wondering if this man is funded by the government through welfare benefits and if so have they been cut and will they remain cut?
three strikes

Wonder whatever happened to John Keys pre-election promise of "three strikes and you're out". I'm guessing this is not his first or second or third strike.

You are very right . Would think a veryyyy long record already in his short life.. The system protects this kind. All the excuses why he's like he is. To go this far with his markings,,, I suggest throw the key away when they get him. Stop any direct benefits to direct family. I'm sure will be found the next DAY.

"Stop any direct benefits to direct family" - Are you from North Korea? In this country, thankfully we don't punish innocent people just because they happen to be related to a criminal.

I just love the cops warning. Here's mine to them - "he is known to carry weapons and is considered dangerous, so lock him up and never let him out". I wonder if they realise how ridiculous they look.
