West Side

It took all of 3 minutes from when the law came in to force for the police to stop a motorist and arrest him for having a placard on his car dashboard which said “Mongrel Mob”. I think if gangs are doing things which are crimes which have victims then the people who commit those crimes should be arrested, but this kind thing is a thought crime.

Unbelievable.

Can't even write west side? That's actually insane

“Hello! We’re the government, and we’re here to help!”

🤷🏼‍♂️

🤦🏼‍♂️

Stormtrooper? Disney, you are in trouble.

You can’t make this shit up. It’s beyond human comprehension.

What's the MC stand for?

I am guessing "Motorcycle Club"

MC probably stands for Motorcycle Club… just my guess though, or my 2 sats worth ;-)

wat?!?

NZ went downhill after supreme leader Arden took control. Australia isn't too far behind

Wowww 😞

Who’s printing a heap of stickers and slapping them on public property?

💯% correct. When Seymour proposed this I immediately was in shock, pushed back and emphasized freedom of speech and freedom of association. But Seymour is too right-wing to care, which is disappointing to me who really thought he was a libertarian as he sure sounded like one initially.

I even know undercover police who associate with gangs and wear gang patches. Are the police now committing crimes? Do they have to stop their undercover operations?

And now that I cannot tell who are the gang members and who aren't, maybe I'll have to stay out of downtown areas entirely.

i live on the uneast side. whats that? no, not the east side, the other side.

🤦‍♂️

looks like a good move

First they came for the Motorcycle Clubs & Starwars fans, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Motorcyclist or a Starwars fan.

Crank up the PRINTING PRESSES and get ready to POST, POST, POST! 😂 those must be really offensive things to say over there... so many words... so many. i liked the storm trooper one!

Sounds crazy. I used to think New Zealand would be a great place to live, especially right after LOTR came out, but not now.

Yes - arrest ppl for crimes, not for words.
