Shameful behaviour

Kayla from Frankton

Was at Countdown just a minute ago and there’s this young idiot booting in the car that’s driving through the car park, next minute they’re fighting and the old Maori guy who got out of the vehicle has a bleeding face and getting bandaged up.

The young guy and his smart mouth girlfriend carry on walking past the work and income running their mouths so proud of themselves.. what a generation. And it’s sad to say that it’s my generation down that majority have no flippin respect for anyone. No consideration for the kids looking on.. or the elderly people breaking into tears watching on. Poor lady I hope she’s ok. She decided to get in her car and go home instead of shopping. What kind of role models are our children and grandchildren gona have. Very sad
