Screw peaceful non-disruptive protest: Let's Cause Mayhem!

[mikeey01]

A few years back when living in the UK they decided that bikes were to pay a toll on one of the tunnels on the M25.

Bikers objected and thousands of them turned up at the toll booths. All dressed in wet weather gear, all with 10 pound notes. They dutifuly queued at the said toll booths. Each biker pulled up, got off their bike, took off their wet weather gear, took out their money from an pants pocket and dutifully waited for their change. They then counted the change, got back into their wet weather gear, back on the bike and rode off. This process was repeated by the next bike rider.

The M25 came to a standstill and London choked. They ran out of change at the toll botths and had to get more delivered by armoured car and the bike rider wouldnt leave till they had their change.

The next day there were no tolls for motorcycles.

They tried again on the Servern bridge and the same thing happened there. Again the next day there were no tolls for bikes.

The police and the authorities couldnt do anything as every biker was following the letter of the law.

If you have ever seen a city od 10 million gridlocked then you would realise how much a little bit of

CIVIL OBEDIENCE

can be a very powerful tool.

Central city car parks and the above idea?

How about just get a good number of cars and trailers to grid lock the block that the ACC office is in for every major center. Shouldn't take many

[idleidolidyll]

Yup. they did. And the media have been going beserk wanting to know what's happening.

Good; we won't tell them; that would spoil the action

likewise the Police: this is not going to be something organised by the cops

Which is why it's handy to know who the kb cops are and keep them off any contact/texting list. It might complicate matters but the element of surprise will be our main weapon, that and unity.


Our TWO main weapons are............

(Nobody epects the 'kb Inquisition'.)

[idleidolidyll]

Yes,

it will be difficult to stop the cops getting the txt number but if we plan this well; it won't even matter.

That's part of the reason I suggested txt.

I've suggested a meeting of the two Auckland Thursday night ride groups this week to discuss the next step:

I do not approve of this action. And I never speed, speed kills, this I know because the government tells me so.

It is lucky that none of these disruptive persons have thought of a pre paid central phone owned by nobody and found nowhere which in turn txts info to particpants .

Of of organising decoy happenings.

I have such a phone/number on the way and will be providing it to all intersted parties.
It's a prepaid phone bought by a kind volunteer and dedicated to this process.

Thanks to that thoughtfull person; I will be advising all those who sent me txt messages of the new central contact number.
The phone arrives this afternoon.

Well here is a version that's going on my car when I go out for lunch...

just one thing, your should be you're

Will such protests be an auckland only affair, or a co-ordinated country wide shindig?

[idleidolidyll]

Aha!

Our friendly supporter has dropped off the phone number;

This isn't a complete phone; they just bought a pre pay simm for the cause. She wishes to remain anonymous so please don't ask me who she is.

I don't have a spare phone at work so I'll load this onto an old phone I have at home. I'm quite happy for this phone and number to be passed around as required.

The number is: 021 073 0316
Txt Motorcycle Disruption to the above number to register as a protester and don't forget to advise your location and to tell all your mates to register as well.

I'll send registered protestors a message tonight once I load the card ionto a phone.

[XP@]

IT'S YOU NEXT!

Not just bikers, ALL affected parties.

All the population needs to join the fight to return to Woodhouse principles!
We are not the only ones affected If we rally all the troups: bikes, trucks, cars, cyclists, elderly, rape victims and anyone else who stands to suffer from the changes....

Then run the route up all the way through wellington

[Patrick]

It's a shame some think the KB coppers are against any of this...

I have 4 bikes in my garage, happy to take up spaces at the Mega Centre... or Centre City.... or the CBD.....

[idleidolidyll]

I'm going to spend some time tonight putting all the ideas together in one post.

There is a bit of action this weekend so you'll all get a txt message tonight or tomorrow morning.
The new phone number is up and running; i'll run it for a while and then pass the baton to somewhere else.

txt 021 0730316 Motorcycle Disruption to be included in the text list.

Those in areas outside Auckland: please post a useful meeting area in your general location. Cafe's are good and you'll probably find the owner will support you as most will buy a coffee etc before the start.

Back soon

Patrick,

It's not that we think YOU specifically are against this. The point is that we do NOT want to be ushered into tidy queues by cops following us around.

How do we know WHICH KB copper is to be trusted not to pass the word onto those who will try to disrupt our disruption?

I for one welcome your support

[StoneY]

I will telll you about Cops.
Yesterday the cop running the Avalon lights, said "Fuck it, let em all go " and radio'd the NZTA command center to say "No phazing, lock these greens"

He told the lead riders, "Stuff the cars, its YOUR day today, go boys go!" (Direct quote apparently)

Here is what Wingrider sent me today in Italics

Just spoke to Sergent Walker from kapiti Police.
He was tasked with providing escorts from Otaki to Wellington.
he was our lead vehicle from Kapiti to Papakowhai.

In 35 years of Policing he has NEVER seen anything like yesterday.
He has stated that no one really came to their attention other than some idiot pullin wheelies on Mana esplanade. He believes other riders took care of it before the person was identified.

There were a lot of cars on the roads patrolling whilst riders departed wellington for home.
NOT ONE COMPLAINT FROM THE PUBLIC RECEIVED!!
99% OF RIDERS COMPLYENT. Those that weren't soon fell into line.
NOT AWARE OF ANY ACCIDENTS.

Everyone who spoke to a Police officer yesterday was polite.

Massive thumbs up from them.
Forward Message
