IALT: Write about why Headhunter gang members are being sentenced in Rotorua.
Three Headhunter gang members have been sentenced to community detention for charges laid in the wake of the kidnapping and extorting property from a wealthy businessman at Rotorua and Taupo. When a lengthy trial of nine of the gang in the High Court at Rotorua concluded in December, two of those nine were found guilty of robbing the businessman's girlfriend of her cellphone in Tauranga. Liam John Kane was also convicted of unlawfully possession of a firearm.
In the same court, Justice Timothy Brewer sentenced Dwyer to six months' community detention. Gunning to four months and Kane to three months plus 100 hour's community work. "Your are not a bulletproof, you are a Headhunter" said Brewer for Gunning. They are about major drugs and sometimes violence. Do you want to be in a situation where you might be facing up to ten years in prison?
The three men were the only ones of nine gang members found guilty of any of the more than 100 charges laid following the businessman' alleged kidnapping at the beginning of 2015. The other six were acquitted a month-long trial last year. The Crown claimed the gang kidnapped the businessman and his young employee and attempted to extort cars and properties from businessman after he slept with Dwyer's partner.
Overall, I think that this article has changed my perspective on gangs as one of my uncles are in this gang. People might think that gangs are cool and strong, but when you read about their history you might change your thoughts and think "Is this true?" Luckily my uncle is one of those people who go and do things that criminals would do. His name is Mounga some other uncles of mine hang around the Head Hunter gym "Fight Club" Siate,David,Chris,Tevita,John,Siua, etc. Whenever I see them, they wear clothes that have the Headhunter sign,motto, and patch.
To me I think that those who join gangs should have a look at their history and make the right choice of not joining the gang. But it's not my choice. It's shocking to hear that some people of the local gang have been committing dangerous things, it's like they want to get caught and sentenced to jail!
I enjoyed writing about this article because one of my family members are in this gang, a challenge I found was trying to put in more information because the article didn't give much information so had to extend on it , in order to make it better for you veiwers.
What are your thoughts on this article?
