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.👍👍
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.😊
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.
💞 Kindness, compassion & above all, love is what we New Zealanders are all about 💞

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.4% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.1% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.5% ... It is complicated
