Announce protest actions, general chit chat or give your opinion on issues we haven’t covered for the day.
Moderation rules are more lenient for this section, but try and play nicely.
EDITORS NOTE: – By the way, here’s a list of shit that will get your comment dumped. Sexist language, homophobic language, racist language, anti-muslim hate, transphobic language, Chemtrails, 9/11 truthers, Qanon lunacy, climate deniers, anti-fluoride fanatics, anti-vaxxer lunatics, 5G conspiracy theories, the virus is a bioweapon, some weird bullshit about the UN taking over the world and ANYONE that links to fucking infowar.
‘Man has been arrested after patrol car was rammed and another car smashed into today in Timaru’ yet in New Plymouth its a different story, as a 22 year old man has been shot dead by police. It seems our police have not learnt the hard lessons from the shooting of Steven Wallace in Waitara. Where are their tasers ? Another example, man chases 16 year old boy 200 metres down the road for grafitting his fence and stabs him to death, man gets of. Now this is racism at its best in good old Aotearoa so much for us all being equal before the law, this is not true and we know it.

I still can’t believe the truth – that a man murdered an annoying teenager for painting a message on his face (fence – Freudian slip.) It shows a deep underlying preference for property over people, for age over youth, and probably for white people over brown – thouugh I didn’t see images of either of them. There must be another way to handle recalcitrant ‘chummies’ – old English phrase. Does it happen that psychology comes into police training.? The guy is told sharply – do this, but because he’s grown up with home rule and defiance to others, he does ‘that’. Then it’s 80/20 that he’ll be shot. Stop being so simple-minded police.
Climate Town – high energy talking and seems to make sense. Have you caught up with it already?
I was intrigued by this heading. The Suburbs Are Bleeding America Dry | Climate Town (feat. Not Just Bikes)

It starts off ‘All These Houses Suck’.
Also strong on how banks and big corpse are making money while not effecting responsibilities re climate change. Catch this through looking at others.
Just Bikes also sounds interesting –
Why does living in Amsterdam mean less emissions? Don’t know what he’s getting at but the guy explains it – might have some helpful hints.
