Beautiful morning here in the Bay - love autumn - but my rural son is bemoaning the lack of rain
Hunni I know all about your children getting racially profiled - I have two sons one adopted part Māori - one year apart - my blonde long haired AC DC T shirt wearing son never got pulled up in my nice Falcon ute going to rugby practice in town but my short haired dark skinned polo shirt wearing second son was repeatedly stopped - made to get out of the vehicle get patted down and the vehicle searched while they checked the rego over the radio .It’s a wonder my husband wasn’t charged with something when he went to the station to formally complain. I have a niggling suspicion that the Mum we are helping has struggled to get a house for exactly that reason .
I agree kiwimade what happened in New World Rotorua broke so many of the protocols around the use of the system - the security footage isn’t quite as dramatic as the report but nevertheless I hope that failure doesn’t outweigh the young trainee manager who luckily stepped out of the freezer with a thick jacket on absolutely unaware an armed robbery was in progress - he stabbed her - the knife went through the thick jacket and her jersey and shirt and bra and nicked her breast - he appeared in court last week one of 20 with 89 charges between them - 3 included weapons .Rotorua Countdown have closed one supermarket down as it is in a mall - they can’t guarantee staff security .It’s a real problem - two security people were killed in Bondi - surely if the technology is there to stop the recidivist offender who has been trespassed returning with a sawn off shot gun Foodstuffs should be allowed to prevent the their entering again .The young girl who was stabbed has not returned to work - started as a checkout operator and had been on heaps of training schemes and was well on her way up the ladder
On a lighter note Hunni have you noticed how small the eye of a machine needle has become
Did anybody see our Sooty cat the Mayor of Ahuriri on TV - I see the magpie in Oz has been allowed to go home to his Staffi mates - intervention by the Premiere no less
