Moderation (on open mike) …really?
Where?
Correct, I wouldn't put it past the odious Moderation to turn up on Open Mike.
How did you form the impression there was never any there?
Strange. I saw an item online about that weed, Simeon Brown (sorry, but he is a weed) who has blamed Marama Davidson for a death threat he received. It seems she visited the Waikato chapter of the Mongrel Mob and he criticised her because they are criminals. The next day he received a death threat. Well, it wasn't a direct threat apparently but he has interpreted whatever was said as a death threat.
Anyways… he's been to the police.
What kind of rationality is that? According to his reasoning, if Davidson hadn't made that visit, he wouldn't have received…what he thinks was a death threat.
Trouble is, I can't link to the story cos it seems to be gone. It was Stuff I think.
Okay. I've found it on google news. Originated from the Herald.

i was just about to post that link.
🙂
that last phrase is funny.
Hutchinson: "That was not the Mongrel Mob kingdom. There's different chapters, Simeon."
A fairly good Stuff article, I thought, conversations that need to be heard on welfare and disability.
