Imagine if a gang of neo-Nazi thugs were caught on camera brutally bashing a helpless black or Muslim girl. The media would recycle the footage on constant rotation for weeks. Waleed Aly would weep on The Panel every night for days. Pundits would spew out gigabytes of outrage. The incident
Yesterday National’s Police spokesman Brett Hudson asked questions of Police Minister Stuart Nash on yesterday’s exposé that the Police failed to follow the law and properly vet the Christchurch shooter which enabled him to obtain a firearm’s licence and then legally purchase firearms for his terror attack.
In case you’ve not seen it, yesterday Stuff “broke” the story that Brenton Tarrant was given a firearms licence without going through the required vetting – a breach of the Police’s own policy. The March 15 terrorist was wrongly granted a firearms licence due to a string of police
Andrew Little appears to have an affinity with things dark. First, it was a mine where he finally saw the light and gave up on the ridiculous hope of bringing out the dead. Now he is focusing on life and involving himself in the Black Lives Matter perversity as Minister

With so many of the blocks already stacked in this wannabe socialist utopia of ours, according to one particular wag at that regular fountain of meandering philosophical inquiry, the local watering hole, we as a country may as well go all-in Stalin-esque and have ourselves a ‘Show Trial’ of sorts.
Dr. Lance O’Sullivan used to be an up and coming star, not only in the medical world, but in the political world too. He was being considered as a potential leader of the Maori Party. He even had discussions with Act and possibly National but really liked The Opportunities
Dave Pellowe davepellowe.com George Floyd is dead, and that is an unmitigated tragedy all by itself before anything else happened.
