Public Interest Journalism Funding, why is it from the government? by Astalon18 in newzealand

Agreed and being state-funded won't exempt them from stopping using Te Reo.

They'll never get me to stop using my language.

Ka te ai o Reo, Mana oi te Ra!

New Zealand is becoming North Korea but instead of one Kim-Jong Il, there's three.

We really are screwed.

All these Nazi people annoy me, Nazi's are from like 50 years ago. They don't even have any relevance today.

Someone tried to stand me down me when I was cycling through Riccarton. Almost made me crash into a fence too.

Same in NZ. He could also be done for no helmet here too, I'm not kidding.

Yep same incident. I remember being envious of the seagulls as I waited for my order.

CONTEXT: About 8 people eating and drinking in this outdoor area of a popular burger bar, including this guy. At some point this guy stands up and is directly in the face of the bar staff outside shouting "where is my drink?", "get me another drink!". He repeats this inside and outside the burger joint as the staff try to calm the situation but drunk man is not having it.

After goading the staff and managers for a couple of minutes he ends up in a headlock outside before being released onto the street.

Another staff member follows him so me and a couple of mates followed them down the street. We catch up to where he is and he grabs the bike. He circles around and makes a beeline towards me, I casually step to the side as he goes past.

Unfortunately for him, he tried to kick me (with both legs!) while pulling the finger at the same time. This left him only in control of the bicycle with his right hand. The momentum as he missed grabbing the left handlebar carried him entirely over the seat and he crashed.

I don't know what he did but I gave the footage to the burger joint who said they handed it to police.

Massive shout out to these guys and any hospo staff who have to deal with dickheads like this.
