Arrests made at Wellington Dawn Service

[Delerium]

Exactly... while not condoning violence, I have a level of respect for those that gave their lives that FAR exceeds the respect I have the right of one or two to mouth off at them.

Would i't be a shame if one or two of the fighting forces got a bit pissed of and smacked them on behalf of those that had gone before? It'd be kinda fitting really - It'd be defence of another member of the NZ fighting forces, or their honor at the very least.

The protestors deserve absolute fucking grief, and put money on the fact they'll be there next year - in their minds they'll have suceeded... so... a whole year to plan a nice retaliation.

Mack - you and me... bit of a diversion, get all the cops over with us - maybe give them a coffee or something. Snipe Sarge... you got any tactics... y'know either"Silently drop them and make them REALLY hurt", or maybe just walk up and a single blow to the (soon to be broken) nose?

Na - fuck 'em. I don't have the balls to be on the receiving end of hot lead - and I'll admit it. I hugely respect anyone that does.

You should of seen the footage of the cops arresting them, it wasnt a quiet come with me. No those on the cenotaph guard do NOT have loaded weapons.

Oooh, the cops might have violated their civil liberties, completely inappropriate in a civilised society like NZ... p/t

Stick 'em with a wooden spoon, I say...

Don't need a loaded rifle to hurt someone... the rifle butt has some discomfort-causing abilities too... Oh yeah, and the bayonet...

I do recall thinking at the Auckland service that it would be a prime opportunity for someone opposed to what it stood for to make their point in offensive or violent terms. I don't imagine that all the gentlemen standing around the cenotaph in dress uniform with Steyrs had loaded magazines handy.

Fix bayonets?

Or else just swing the thing as a bloody club!

Hey hey, calm down, i had nothing to do with it

For the puppetmaster of Morse et al I vote Bradford. Her job description could just be hampering her usual style

Yes officers have ceremonial swords, wouldnt want to use one in a fight. they are ceremonial. In saying that when I wouldnt want to catch somebody if they passed out while holding one.

I kept off this thread until now.

I have always honoured ANZAC Day. Even in the UK when I was there I always placed a poppy on the local memorial on 25th April. I also participated in the Armistice Day events over there.

Both my grandfathers fought in WW1, one in the Somme at age 16 and the other in Gallipoli.

A lot of mu uncles served in WW2. None died but a few were wounded.

My father fought in Malaya and Vietnam.

I served in the NZ and British armies.

These days are for remembering those who didnt come back.

Even to this day I never pass a memorial without a nod of respect.

If it was up to me I would take those f#$kers out the back of some shithole and just leave them there with the rest of the filth.

Very mild to what I am thinking.

My old man was in the fiercest of fighting in Malaya in the mid'50's...he's got the medals to prove it.

Not generally at ANZAC day, Wilkinson used to make ours......

[Grahameeboy]

You guys are so aggresive.............I don't agree with what these guys did, however, we live in a democracy which is what was fought for......you know freedom of speech.............however there is a line and we should just let our free country deal with these guys within the law of the country.
