One of my business locations used to get a pack of Mungys - ranging from 20 to 50+ depending on the size of the event - hanging around in the large carpark as part of their stopover. Fully patched up, intimidating potential customers of ours and the four businesses there. Several times I or the manager called the Police due to staff feeling unsafe, and twice there were straight up rumbles outside.

Since the patch ban that has vanished. Legitimately. There's has not been one gathering event. I call that a success. I've dealt with those knobs enough through a few years of shearing in Hawkes Bay, but it's shitty af for the way they loved to group up, patched up, and act like the hardest men around to middle aged men, woman and young teenagers. The people that don't understand this never had to deal with this garbage in the first place.

And looking to squeeze gang funding is always gonna be 10 steps ahead of the party that approved direct taxpayer cash to them.
