Role Models

I didn't realise until a few days ago that the two idiots (there must be other words - cowards, scumbags etc) that violently attacked the Prime Minister on Waitangi Day were related to Hone Harawira. I see that that they are pleading Not Guilty.

Didn't they do it?? Of course they did - so how can they plead that they didn't. The 'Justice' system is crazy.

Hone has defended them because they are 'Maori and family'. How can anybody defend criminals even if they are your family. Even if it was your child that attacked somebody you should be telling them in no uncertain terms that they are wrong.

And worse, he has today invited them to lunch at the Beehive. What sort of impression does this give - criminals feted by an MP. He is saying it is OK to be a criminal. Of course he may argue they haven't been convicted yet and they have pleaded not guilty. I say again - did they not do it. Is it a case of mistaken identity by 50 people and was it not them that were grabbed by the people with the PM.

At least the Indian shopkeeper who defended himself against the thugs that attacked his shop and stabbed him has now been told that he doesn't have a case to answer by the JP's. Why did we waste our money on charging somebody defending himself?

It looks as if Clarke is off to the UN. One thing you can say about her is that she is competent. Bit of a different type of role model.

Rugby - Matt Goddard - 5 Yellow Cards one Red (Red derserved). What an abysmal performance. Chiefs - Blues great game - great refereeing - Mark Lawrence of South Africa.
