Gang patches

[98tls]

Do they cross the centre line??

No idea but baggage.........every time at check in,so much baggage.

[JMemonic]

Didnt New Zealand enact a law a few years back that gave them the ability classify gangs if they were involved in criminal activities as illegal and ban them?

[Tony W]

Depends on time n place i guess,many German soldiers returning from WW1 called them that and worse for what they saw as well dodgy dealings,anyway back on topic...........

I think in the poster's context, the Jews are perceived as victims.
Criminal gangs are criminals, not victims.

Yip - refer to Jrandom's post on page 2.

Personally I was born a roman catholic and went to boarding school with nuns so guess which side I came out on - rebelious is mildly put.

I also dislike illegal gangs - been there, done it, got over it.

So wear patches, will help me identify who you are when I'm driving around in my car ...

[mstriumph]

Are you equating Jews to criminals ?

!!!???

...... are YOU saying that the nazis were right to isolate, demonise and exterminate them?

....... or are you saying that ALL 1percenters are criminals?

...... or, mebbe you are saying that it's valid for society as a whole to turn on a particular group because they don't 'conform' to mainstream 'norms' [eg they dress differently, speak differently or have different customs or beliefs?]??

wise up ... when you hear officialdom bleating on about the 'badness' of ANY group it's time to man the barricades ... because sooner or later they'll be looking to strip the folk in YOUR group of their basic freedoms and human rights too

'Benevolent Government, dedicated to the good of the people' is now, always was and ever will be as much of a myth as santa

It will be most interesting to see what will happen if the NZ authorities follow the Australian model of banning gang-patches.

During the fund-raising ride last weekend I counted at least sixty-three patched members of the God-squad.

One could argue that the God Squad don't commit fraud or indulge in illegal activities, therefore their patches are okay.

But, hang about. Don't the God-people offer surcease from stress by encouraging folk to believe in an invisible friend (much like many of us did when children)? Don't they assert that in such belief you will be relieved of.....make your own list here, but don't ask for any guarantees.

Hell's teeth! At least the drug-dealing, patched gangs guarantee surcease from immediate pain and stress, should one choose to indulge in their offerings, such as drugs. So, at least they're fulfilling their obligations under the Consumer Guarantee Act.

But do the God-Squadders (all patched and everything) with, 'Jesus Knows. Jesus saves. Jesus cleans your oil. Jesus moves, trees, cars, cattle, and small children from the path of motorbykilists!'

Don't they say that tithing 10% of your income to help those who are more closely connected to God (ergo the church-leaders) build small empires through which they can get even better connected, on the believer's behalf, to Him upstairs? And thus get the edge with moving all the shit out of the believer's way?

Surely, this is fraud on a grand scale!

So will the authorities pursue patched God-Squadders with the same zeal as they pursue other patched gangs?

I think not. The 'patched' gangs do illegal stuff. Apparently, promoting fairy tales about a God, and fairy tales about the next wonderful investment by Mark Bryers and his ilk, is not illegal stuff. It's just....well, it's just a part of life. Pay your money. Take your chances.

Fair enough. But I paid my money, bought an ounce of dope and took my chances. Now some lawful prick is saying I was 'consumed' by it.

But last week I was 'consumed' by the concept of God. I nearly drove off a hill just for the thrill of having Jesus and God save me.

Funny old world, eh? Peppered with irrationality and seasoned with force.

Oh My Fucking Gawd! A half-sensible humanoid on KB! I don't freaking believe it . You must ride a Harley! Oh crap..........no he doesn't. Never mind, he looks sensible enough to be transformed....

You're not a cop tho' are you? Couldn't cope with that.

The catholic church will sink without....

Religion, not money, is the root of all evil.

Kiss wearing your Gang Patch in public good bye.

It's only a matter of time before more councils look to enacting this law.

A law allowing local authorities in Wanganui to ban gang patches has been passed by Parliament tonight.

The local Bill, in the name of Wanganui MP Chester Borrows, passed its third reading by 62 votes to 59.
