Beautiful day in the Bay - still a bit of a nip in the air out of the sun- have just been to farewell one of my granddaughters off on a school trip to Europe - they have fundraised for 4 years so it was great to see them finally get going - she has promised to go to a patisserie in Paris and have the fanciest cake and think of me
Yesterday was diabolical - remanded in custody for sentencing - police opposed bail - he was sentenced 18 months ago to Home detention in Auckland for various offences including 8 assaults - was arrested 3 times while on Home detention again for assaults on elderly people but was bailed each time supposedly on 24 hour surveillance- he skipped his monitoring came to Napier moved into emergency accommodation- it was hard to hear the prosecutor read out his Napier offences I wasn’t the first and I wasn’t the last - he has a name for what he does he calls it polar bear hunting -his aim he told the police was to send old white pakeha ladies or men into hibernation - he likes to meet his victims head on lifts his elbow like a chicken wing knocks the polar bear backwards to crack their head or in my case and others come up from behind and kick behind the knees - I didn’t go down and crack my head the edge of my open car door cut my leg to the bone but my head did not hit the ground. I came off a lot better off than others who cracked their heads on the pavement - he had numerous burglary charges as well -he sat there smirking - if they let him out there is no doubt he will offend again - I thought he hit me because I was unloading food at the motel for the old girl who was cooking for the kids but it was because I stopped dying my hair to cover the grey!
