Noelle McCarthy swallowed vomit for 15 minutes yesterday (Mar. 9, 2011)

Noelle McCarthy swallowed vomit for 15 minutes yesterday
National Radio, Tuesday 8 March 2011, 3.10 p.m.
Perhaps the S.S. Trust’s bloodthirsty führer Garth McVicar thought he was in for respectful handling and patsy questions from Noelle McCarthy yesterday. If so, he was out of luck. After a few introductory remarks, where she let him ramble on self-indulgently about his “exuberant” youth, in which he laughed about how he “pushed the boundaries” and “got into trouble”, she confronted him with his rotten, murderous hypocrisy…
NOELLE: In 2008, a man called Bruce Emery stabbed a 15-year-old boy to death in Manurewa. You came out in support not of the victim, but of the killer, Bruce Emery. Why did you support the killer and not the victim?
McVICAR: We found there was a lot of support for our stance. Our supporter database increased overnight. We were trying to spark a debate about entry-level crimes like graffiti.
NOELLE: Hang on! Were you just being provocative ? Do you believe that Bruce Emery had the right to stab that boy?
McVICAR: [long pause] Errr, no I don’t, errrrr, nobody has the right to take another life.
NOELLE: So why did you say it?
McVICAR: Look, we were trying to get a public discussion going. We want the public to talk seriously about entry-level crimes like graffiti. I think people could see what we were saying, and they could look beyond this particular case.
NOELLE: All right, then. Let’s accept that there were people who could “see beyond” your support for the killing of that boy. Do you think even they could see beyond the David Garrett dead baby scandal?
McVICAR: Ahhhhh, we think David Garrett has admitted his crimes and he deserves another chance. Of course we don’t endorse what he did, but he’s done so much good work for us.
NOELLE: I mean, how could you be so wrong-headed , Garth?
McVICAR: I would still give the same level of support to him today.
NOELLE: Maybe that says something about your integrity, that you still support someone who was a grave-robber.
McVICAR: Ha ha ha! He knows he did wrong. A lot of us were exuberant kids, we pushed the boundaries. It’s a long journey, and we’ve moved to centre-stage now.
NOELLE: Garth McVicar, thank you. His book is called Justice: Speaking Up For Crime’s Silent Victims.

    I emailed McVicar and flat out asked him if he supported lynching.
    Unfortunately he never replied back to me.
    McVicar is an intolerant hateful bigot who will not be happy until people are hanging from lamp post.
    If you are not white middle class and Christian, then you deserve nothing less than extermination

      I think a legal challenge could be made to the status of the S.S. Trust as a charitable trust. Surely McVicar’s defiant support for the killing of a boy and his repeated demeaning remarks about the victim and the victim’s family are a violation of the mission statement and constitution of the S.S. Trust.
      In 1985, two lawyers managed to stop an All Black tour of apartheid South Africa by using the New Zealand Rugby Football Union’s own constitution to argue a tour would be in violation of that constitution, and would therefore be illegal.
      It seems perfectly feasible that the S.S. Trust’s own barbarous public statements could be used against it, and see it wound up.

        They are no longer a charitable trust.
        • Morrissey6.1.1.1.1
          What are they now then? A murderers’ advocacy and support trust?
          • Kevin Welsh6.1.1.1.1.1
            Can you not read?

              I guess Garth McVicar’s dreams of power have evaporated with Act’s self destruction. Good job! Can you imagine that horrible weasel in our halls of power… shudder! What we don’t need in this country is a group of white businessmen telling us that Maori’s should get the longest sentences available and then advocate for white murderers of young Maoris to get leniency. There should be a law against double standards based on racism. Let’s rename them the Sensible Sentencing (of any other ethnicity but mine) un-Trust.
            • Morrissey
              I read many quotes by the S.S. Trust (AKA Garth McVicar) vociferously supporting the killing of a teenage boy, and expressing support for a convicted grave-robber.
              So please enlighten us: is it or is it not a murderers’ advocacy and support trust?
              • Kevin Welsh
                I couldn’t give a flying fuck what they, but what they are not is a CHARITABLE TRUST, Mr Fucking Thicky. That status has been revoked.
                • Luxated
                  Kevin, they still call themselves the ‘Sensible Sentencing Trust’. Right on the top of the website, so what seems to be your main bone of contention here is moot.
                  • Kevin Welsh
                    Ahhh, no.
                    Morrisey stated in his original message: “I think a legal challenge could be made to the status of the S.S. Trust as a charitable trust. Surely McVicar’s defiant support for the killing of a boy and his repeated demeaning remarks about the victim and the victim’s family are a violation of the mission statement and constitution of the S.S. Trust.”
                    No legal challenge is required because they are not a Charitable Trust. Is it finally getting through?
                  • Luxated
                    Kevin, I understand what you’re saying and I understand your point about what Morrisey originally said.
                    However at least my reading of it is that Morrisey was indulging in some black humour after his first post, which you didn’t seem to be cottoning on to. Of course I could be reading Morrisey’s comment wrong but that’s the context of my previous post.
                    Either way, confusion reigned and all got wet.
                • The Voice of Reason
                  Indeed it has. The Senseless Sentencing Trust dropped the charitable status so they would not be subject to any outside scrutiny. In other words, to remove transparency, to hide in the shadows, to be unaccountable to anyone but McVicar.

    If you took the time to type this up, thanks very much.
    At work I can’t listen to mp3s or view youtube, so when someone links to something like that I have no way of knowing what the real content is. When I get home from work there are so many more interesting things to be doing that I never listen to the mp3s or watch the youtube vids. So thanks for typing that up here.
    As an aside, I think this is a big challenge facing google – how do you index and search for content that is embedded in audio and video formats? More and more news reporting on the web is included in video content, and becoming unsearchable.
