Hung, drawn and quartered, before being tried, let alone accused. The only things missing are the pitchforks and something or someone to burn at the stake. I fear the roasting Messrs Tamihere and Jackson received in recent days for daring to comment will not suffice.
Prime Minister John Key says he understands protesters "feel very strongly."
Some will be seen to be doing something. Anything. But then I'm sure the alleged perps will get a fair hearing, should matters require a trial. Only if the lynch mob doesn't get to them first.
