Wanganui patch ban

[peasea]

Don't be flattered... we share the same interests it seems. Carry on slagging off someone you have never even met, wherever you go, you keyboard warrior hero you.

I saw you looked into my visitor page so thought, "aw, how nice, he likes me..."
....

It's always good to know a little about one's enemy.

And, when it comes to 'slagging off' let's not forget who started it.

Ummmm... YOU?

This was the beginner.... 3rd May 2009

Peasea says.... "Or perhaps the workings of an ubiased observer.....

You're losing cred rapidly here pal. "Holier than thou" and all that.

It's endemic with the police and you're a prime example (if comments like that are your credos) of the po-leese lifestyle. Pull your fuckin' head in before I make flu connections.

Vex.Lit my arse! That pisses me off. Sometimes you say sensible things and I know we've agreed/disagreed in the past but Vex Lit? That epitomises the self righteous copper to a T. Fuck you. Fuck you.

(And I've been for ride today, observing the rules, no hurry, taking in the suuny autumn rays........had a goodie. Then someone comes along and does what?)

I'm going out to buy a pack of Tamiflu...........to ward off the sneezing, coughing, dribbling pigs.

Patrick! If your post is indicative of the police attitude to PCA complaints; Suck my dick! "

And so it began.........

You can't see the forest for the trees. Typical.

Actually - people bitching about civil liberties and BMW owners patches can't see the wood for the trees. Gangs are an issue, we all ignore it and try and pretend it isnt but, sorry, it is. Back in the day I knew and rode a few times with the lads but this was a simpler time, the only crime was a bit of biffo - now?? Hmmm.... Different world, different gangs and bigger problems.

[sunhuntin]

problem is that removing the patch will NOT stop that person from commiting a crime. all it is going to do it make them a bit harder to pin down for that crime. a few years back, the reds and blues decided to have a fight on one of the BP forecourts and one ended up dead. if they werent wearing their patches, none of them would have been charged. just like the anti smacking bill hasnt stopped kids from being murdered, this patch ban will not stop gangs from committing crimes.

[caseye]

I realise that there is a lot of bad stuff relating to gangs and what they get upto however there is also the large harmless element who just want to belong to something that seems cool.

All I am saying is that not all gang members are bad.

No patched gang member is innocent, they all have blood on their hands, one way or another, sure a few, a very few have no actual criminal records.
Thats by design, they're whats known as a clean skin( no not the new cheap wines).
There is No Such thing as a "Good"(innocent,nice, law abiding) Patched up Gang Member.

Much bigger. They have become educated and take their cues from big business operators, who are political puppets.

These people aren't stupid.

[Paul in NZ]

True - we could all try a little harder to be better people and build a better society but somehow - I doubt thats going to be a popular message.

[scumdog]

These people aren't stupid.

True for some of them.

But they utilise/exploit a shitload of stupid people, wannabes who will do what it takes to get their 'patch'

[Headbanger]

The ones I see walking around my neighbourhood would seem to be the thickest fucks to walk the earth.

Now, all we need is thirty of them to walk up town patched up and then we will see this "take their patches off their backs" system collapse immediately, Ain't no way the police would wage full scale war with them on the main-street over a patch,especially when the odds are stacked against them.

Though I'd love to be wrong.

wear a pink MFSC patch!

i dont think thered be enough cops to take them on! theyd have to bring in reinforcements. lol.

[Viscount Montgomery]

Just banning patches is no real use, Laws should be supplying kalashnikovs and shot-guns to the rate-payers allowing Joe Public to legally take-out these stinking pieces of dog shit

[Headbanger]

I personally believe that government should be promoting non-tolerance by communities.

They are only in our communities because we allow them to be.

Of course it would all fall over when they got to court and were promptly put back on the streets to carry on a before.

[NighthawkNZ:Me]

Police shouldn't be allowed to wear their patches in public then, because after all the NZ Police are this countrys' biggest gang.

actually the M.M. and B.P. both have more members than the police
