Mongrel Mob offers to stand guard over Hamilton mosque
Now this is either going to swing one way or another. I pray that it is going to be positive.
We all have very strong feelings one way or another for any gangs in New Zealand (and internationally).
Putting those aside, the haka they performed in Christchurch was fantastic, this current offer of guarding the Hamilton Mosque, and other offers shows that there is support, solidarity and compassion in these hardened criminals.ππ
To quote from this article, "It's not the first offer of support from New Zealand gangs. Multiple members from different groups have joined together to show their grief, laying flowers at memorials around the country."
I extend my heartfelt thanks to them for this magnificent gesture.
I do pray that they can teach and/or pass this sincere heartfelt sign of kindness & compassion to their young ones and to the rest of their gangs who feel a bit nervous about being in the public knowing how most of the public feel about them.π
There are lessons to be learned by all of us, compassion is so easy to give and to receive, and there is more than enough love to go around 10 times over for each and everyone of us.
π Kindness, compassion & above all, love is what we New Zealanders are all about π

-
36.5% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
63.5% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, weβre a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature β and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
