Assault on Chinese schoolboy on Pakuranga bus.
First of all, I wish the the boy a speedy recovery from this ghastly and traumatising assault on him. However, the mental scarring will take much longer .
What gives someone the right to attack another person who is of a different ethnicity ?
The attack was premeditated as the attacker boarded the bus with a long steel rod . The apathy shown by fellow passengers, apart from one, is a sad reflection of what is becoming the norm in NZ ; the acceptance of random acts of violence . People walking out of supermarkets with trolley loads of ‘free ‘ goods , ram raids, attacks on shop owners are far too common, as are racial attacks.
The answer may lie in a more caring and friendly attitude towards our fellow human beings. NZ once had this, in days gone by . It’s not too late ..
Auckland, why are we so excited about a new store? 🚗🛒
I think we’ve all seen the traffic notices and headlines about the new IKEA by now!
So here’s the question: why do we get so excited when a new store opens? Convenience? Curiosity? A reason for a weekend outing? We’d love to hear your thoughts!
