The greatest pleasure of my recent life has been speed on the road. . . . I lose detail at even moderate speed but gain comprehension. . . . I could write for hours on the lustfulness of moving swiftly.

If Peter Chin wasn't so arrogant all this could have been avoided.
how?????Peter Chin is doing his job of running the city and representing the majority of the inhabitants, i dont think he was down there lighting fires etc personally i couldnt give a shit if the students burnt the whole Castle/Dundas block out at least it would give the builders something to do, my boys play club hockey with students and i have to say i hant met one i didnt like, all nice kids but get a few grogs down their necks and i bet things are different BUT Otago Uni markets itself as a party uni so they have to take what comes with that.....years ago they used to have skyrocket fights with each other, when you have thousands of young people living in a compressed area they are going to have a party, its become a tradition to burn couches etc add to that the non students that turn up to cause trouble
Also a complete overreaction from the police.
What are they training police to do?
Drunk student mouthing off at you = baton to the face/ pepper spray.
Completely mis-handled police showing very poor judgement.
