Oh, touché another box deluxe cliché.

Iti’s public behaviour, comes across to me, that in his mind he largely only has room for himself – his currency is cheap and the culmination of his actions have to my…

I very much doubt "he" would become such an advocate.

What, advocating peace and unity for the people of Aotearoa and righting some of the wrongs that has been delivered to iwi in the past and suggested present?
I'd welcome that.

Nah, They saw that dude that has been training to defend the whales. Can't remember his name but he spent a month in Japan a year or so ago. Think he's ex Greenpeace. The footage on 3 a…

I prefer not to. Experience suggests there's a 99% chance of both:

Somewhere along the way he got lost in his own world of self importance and stupidly TVNZ were one of the first to let him go with it. I remember him then and I would nearly puke at his…

But even the Tuhoe part relies on the reader embracing his personal intuitions about Tame Iti. Holmes a a serial offender in inviting readers to…

Sorta. It’s clearly some sort of correction for the infamous Waitangi Day column, but it’s as disorganised an argument as usual. Holmes doesn’t have evidence for things: he “thinks”, “knows” and “feels” them. In this instance he seems basically…

highly ironic on a PAS thread :)

True.

Still, that is a fine example of why I think the Herald's editorial staff need to buy some sharper blades and apply them mercilessly to the often rambling work of their opinion writers. How he starts reviewing the Tuhoe…

Yeah, but you didn’t negotiate to buy a grenade launcher, or threaten people who crossed your path. You didn’t bind and blindfold kids you invited into your circle. You didn’t openly…

Yummm...Napalm. American. Must be good.

And metal melting. The use of it for welding rails allegedly invented here in in NZ!!

Does gathering this information into one post make me an enemy of the state?

Yesss!

Bloody Ian McEwan and tutorials on Atonement. It's all his fault. Threadjack imminent. Someone get it back…

That is due to my ironic useage of the term, I admit, as a contrast to my own direct experience – but not my indirect experience. That is, I don’t do that sort of thing, but that I know people who might be stereotyped…

Apart from anything else, it's a historical document. I also have the British Army's history of the conflict.

I've never made a petrol bomb though,…

Hmm, must remember that excuse if ever I get caught shoplifting. Or urinating in the sink. Or making love to my girlfriend….

Oops – put it in the wrong container. My bad.

I do that for fun, and the entertainment & enlightenment of whanau kids- so, I’m a *terrorist* for fucks’ sake?

The police leaked illegal evidence entirely out of context to poison the well, and the government retroactively allowed them to use such illegal evidence in other cases. They raided left-wing political activist groups throughout the country, including truly dangerous types like organic…

I thought the firearms charges against Iti after the flag-shooting incident were ridiculous: that was protest plain and simple. I actually value his presence as an…

I agree. It drives me nuts watching people come up with rationalisations about this.

You meant, 'ghost jobs'?

What the defendants were seen doing was little different to kids playing dress-up with unsafe toys.

My understanding is that the lawyers are allowed to know the suburb that the juror comes from, and that they couple that with the obviously observable demographic the juror appears to be in to make their decision about…

As a middle class white woman, I inferred that more as a complaint about the jury being largely comprised of members of *any* one subgroup of society. But you…

It's called journalism, bro. And you is good at it.

I think the idea that middle class white women *in particular* are subject to unfair bias is itself a bit prejudiced.

My thoughts as well – thank you Russell.

These guys weren’t heroes and they weren’t terrorists. They were dickheads.

Thankfully we may never really know if the 'dickheads' would have graduated to become fully fledged 'freedom fighters' had the cops not intervened.

That’s the thing about preemptive action of any sort. It rarely gets the credit it deserves.

Yes indeed.Still, a jury of your peers is a mixture of minds so maybe that is acceptable. Doesn't your Lawyers have the…

Apparently Alan Gibbs has a full-scale western town on his Kaipara property so he can play shoot'em ups with his mates. I guess paintball just doesn't do it for him.

But going by that first post we do have a history of blunting these so called reactionaries.

I guess the police – as much…

This for me is the saddest part of the whole mess.

I don't know what those folks were doing in the bush and probably will never know. But I had hoped the police would have had a better idea of what was going…

I don't disagree much with that.…

Man, that was a bumout blast from the past. Not only was I a complete dick throughout, but sighting Finn Higgins' posts teared me up.

If someone made a general enquiry, it wouldn't be an offence – they might have taken the course of acquiring a legal flare launcher.

Prosecution as punishment? You haven't done anything provably illegal, but we can make your life very awkward as a reprisal. (See also Kim Dotcom, I suspect).

Also, this could have been dealt with very differently: a quiet word from the community cops…

By flares they probably mean illumination rounds (“illum” in military parlance) or smoke. These, along with 40mm HE grenades, can be fired from weapons like the M79,…

Oh, bravo sir.

Presumably, the pun is meant to fit the crime.

He sounded off…

There was evidence given by the owner of the arms store. Kemara…

Great pun!

Well, apart from buying quite a few weapons and other military equipment and scaring the hell out of some…

He wasn't charged with that? So either those things aren't restricted weapons (do you mean ' a grenade launcher or a flare launcher ' or ' a grenade or a flare launcher '?) or there was no reasonable evidence.

Yes. I suspect that it was deliberate, designed to show Tuhoe exactly who was boss. If it was deliberate, then it was an even more staggeringly stupid thing to do.
