Really?

Over the past couple of days, we've begun to hear in the courts how a Westie gang associate was slotted with a sickle or a billhook apparently dropping him instantly.  Some might say no great loss, only another gang on gang violent episode with an not unexpected outcome.

Recently we've also witnessed an in your face bike ride of gang members.   Supposedly in memory of the said member. Whichever way you look at it,  patched gang members are out and out criminals having gained their patch through vile and violent crime.


Then we have this.

a gang want to provide nourishment for kids in need across the country

they fill a social need that wasn't being catered for adequately- hungry kids in schools

Really?  Again, "Won't somebody think of the children?". 

Probably most of the kids are hungry because their parents are doped up buying drugs from the same gangs.  I fail to see why there are supposedly hungry kids in New Zealand when their parents get all manner of welfare to ensure the rugrats are adequately funded for food and school.

In my view, the community and government agencies should not be endorsing these criminal thugs through children in any way shape or form.
