Totally sick and generally a really frightening video. The two alleged "taggers" look like scared little boy's, for two grown (obviously drunk) adults to do this to teenagers makes me wonder whats going on in New Zealand. Sure vandalising someones property is wrong, but are the two who filmed this video not just fueling the problem? These two kids need somebody to give them some direction not to humiliate and degrade them and put it on you tube. As for the couple, what did they hope to achieve with this video? It only portrays them as obnoxious bullies. Too many young boys are being brought up in a country that automatically labels them because of the colour of their skin, the clothes they wear, or the music that they listen to, give them a chance. After all its only a fence!

Some of these comments are freaking me out. How would i feel if someone came and tagged my fence? A lot less uncomfortable than if someone came to my house with a knife, or somehow threatened me into dancing, and got me looking as scared as those two looked. I don't know how those psychos got those two young, relatively fitguys to dance around their living room looking terrified, but i dout they just asked. If one guy and his wife turned up to my house and tried to get me and one of my mates dancing i'd laugh in his face and close the door.

While I agree that maybe this incident wasn't dealt in the correct fashion, I think good on Izzy and Tracey for trying to teach these boys a lesson. To many times criminals and public nuisances get away with harassing people because of a let down in the judicial system or people just cant be bothered doing something about it. I don't think that you can just blame one system. It is a problem that has to be addressed and we all need to back it, not just some of us.

About time someone dealt to these little bastards. Too often they get away with this kind of damage as they skulk around at night. They are nothing more than feral animals who mark their territory. But it wasn't "their" territory was it. Sweet justice I say and let the PC do-gooders go and rot. They don't have to clean up the filthy mess this scum leave behind.

I think the police should get a fine and should get retrained and izzy should get a charge as well

Good to see that Izzy has read these comments just goes to prove he's looking for any support he can for the stuff up of videoing the actions he forced and the tagger and his mate. Wild West here we come - if he and his partner in crime don't get some sort of punishment. There is NO excuse for taking the law into your own hands, regardless of the so called cause of the outrage, the same as there are laws restricting what you can do to protect yourself anarchy is not what anyone wants but we are steadily heading there piece by piece. Just look at the amount of road rage there is.

Make the 2 drunken idots filming dance. I hope their whole house gets targeted by taggers now for what they did.

Good job, If the police & the courts can't do anything, then let it be the public. Sick of these young criminals constant destruction of people's property. Make em dance, group them up with a paint brush and their parents. Perhaps the neighbours could all pay a $1.00 to a charity to watch them dancing with brushes up their U know whats.

Oh these poor boys, my heart goes out to them. They are after all just a product of our society. How can they have any idea of right and wrong as they probably have never had any real concequences to their actions. Izzy and his wife are older and should know better, they came from a time when concequences came as a result of bad actions.

I just can't comprehend how have coming out of that time and into this time they expect to get away with good actions. It is just unacceptable, the police are understaffed and have a lot to deal with, as it is all left up to them. I mean it is their job after all and we should not support them in anyway.

Come on people how can you compare this to a guy who stabs and kills someone for tagging. Killing someone should only be acceptable in defence of the life of another. They made them dance, DANCE, DANCE!!!! I don't care how they made them DANCE they just got them to DANCE. I don't care if they held a gun to their head. The only concequence to them was they had to DANCE.

I can see it now, they stand before the judge and he says. 150 dollar fine or DANCE. The boys would be on their knees begging to pay the fine, anything but have to DANCE.

If more people grab these petty criminals by the scruff of their neck and made them do horrendus things like DANCING. Then maybe the police and courts could get down to dealing with some real crime like murder, armed robbery, fraud. Leave the petty crime justice up to the community and if there is no dangerous harm done to criminals let people apply concequence to the petty little crims.
