About the Undie 500 riots:
"They are rich little white kids. The event should be canceled".
At the risk of sounding like a bitter old grump, I totally agree with Jude on this one. I have nothing against students getting plastered and falling over in pubs and on the streets but when they start getting aggro, vandalising private property and get into fights with cops, I'm sorry but that is criminal behaviour. If these were your ordinary Maori or Polynesian kid in South Auckland creating mayhem in the streets, they would be dealt with very quickly and swiftly and get a conviction which would hang over their head for life. But these Otago rioters are our middle class brats studying to become lawyers and doctors etc, they are our country's future leaders (god save us!) so please go easy on them?
Well it's time for the spoiled brats to learn what are the consequences of their moronic actions and to be tried like anyone else in our justice system.
