No one was killed except for Mister Aloha Snackbar. What a lame terrorist.

Not only are stores banning knives, but the New Zealand government is going to criminalize attack planning.

No, Colion, it's not getting ridiculous. We blew past that marker long ago.

"We've got to do something about knife violence!!" Assholes Big Grin They just can't figure it out. It's not the tool, it's the man. It's the human mind.

I can see the future headlines now: "Sixteen New Zealanders given owies in mass rolling pin attack" and then, "New Zealand institutes the death penalty for bakers"

Maybe one of those terrorists can use a mask in a mass attack. Then we can ban those.

Teh st00pid, it burns!

quote:

The Counter Terror Legislation Bill criminalises planning and preparation that might lead to terror attack, closing what critics have said has been a loophole allowing plotters to stay free.

"Might lead to..." Futurecrime. Oh fracking yay

quote:

New Zealand supermarket group Countdown said on Saturday it had removed knives and scissors from its shelves...

Brilliant.

Same pattern as the U.K.: Ban the guns, then ban the knives. Next up: Being found in possession of anything that might be used as a defensive tool will get you arrested.

quote:

Ardern said she wanted to explain why the attacker had not been deported but could not because...

... it would have made government look like the hopelessly ineffective twats they so-obviously are.

Idiots.

quote:

"No terrorist, whether alive or deceased, deserves their name to be shared for the infamy they were seeking," she said.

True, but they do deserve to be deceased.

Is that Maxine Waters down in New Zealand? If not, then they have their own version of Dave down there. The resemblance is uncanny.

The butcher has to register, pay a tax on his boning knife and attend classes on knife safety and security. Brilliant!

The government of New Zealand should cease to exist. Why don’t the people put an end to that madness? Why do they tolerate it?

......Hush now, baby, baby, don't you cry
Mama's gonna make all of your nightmares come true
Mama's gonna put all of her fears into you
Mama's gonna keep you right here under her wing
She won't let you fly but she might let you sing
Mama's gonna keep baby cozy and warm

Ooh, babe, ooh, babe, ooh, babe
Of course mama's gonna help build the wall

Mother, do you think she's good enough for me?
Mother, do you think she's dangerous to me?
Mother, will she tear your little boy apart?
Ooh, aah, mother, will she break my heart?

Hush now, baby, baby, don't you cry
Mama's gonna check out all your girlfriends for you
Mama won't let anyone dirty get through
Mama's gonna wait up 'til you get in
Mama will always find out where you've been
Mamma's gonna keep baby healthy and clean

Ooh, babe, ooh, babe, ooh, babe
You'll always be a baby to me

It should work just as well as confiscating and banning guns did.

Oh! They are SOOOO progressive down there!
I wonder if they're woke too?

And if that's the case, I propose a fair trade-
All of our woke progressives for their freedom lovers.

“Another known terrorist. . .”

WTF?!

The NZ IC and law enforcement ‘communities’ must be enrolled in the FBI’s and the CIA’s “look-the-other-way” school of counter-terrorism.

The guy was locked-up for 3-years and was on 24-hr surveillance by LE. 24-hour surveillance and tails, that's a crazy amount of manpower devoted to just one person.

If this guy was SOOO dangerous, why was he set-free? Its quite possible that LE didn't want this guy free'd but, the courts and current legal standing allowed this guy to be released.

Which then brings up the question - if the problem is the current laws are lax or, don't take into account such dangerous individuals (NZ generally doesn't see a lot of violence) then shouldn't that be the change focus rather than enacting bans & restrictions on a common household tool?
