The growing societal criminality and total disregard for the Law, is not yet in my face but it is becoming increasingly apparent in various ways to be closing in.

Near neighbours, originally from the Republic of SA have a late teens son who does part time at Maccas while studying at uni. Parks his Nissan car on street outside parents house, last Sunday morning around 0300 hrs an enterprising lowlife stole it, to be discovered not far away with the ignition wrecked.

Tuesday morning around 0600 a break-in of the storage container at the camp we enjoy as respite care as often as possible, another stolen car. discovered around 4kms south of that crime scene, burnt out at 0700 by fire on the side of the scenic highway at Mt Hutt Station gate. No success for plod on either perp”.

Who in these troubled times does not carry a “Blade”? What passes for news is littered with a stabbing death or narrow escape involving a knife on a daily basis.

That Woman, who found time in her busy schedule to make an appearance at the final farewell for the young man recently married, who sadly tried to end an event involving a stolen cash drawer from his relatives Dairy in Sandringham, only to end up stabbed to death not far from the place of business he was minding while the proprietors were on leave back in India.

The answer from Dear Leader: possible easier access for small business owners to enable installation of Fog Cannons. Her poodle Police Commissioner is moved to review the “No chase policy” as, believe it or not, more lowlife outlaws are avoiding arrest by simply speeding away in the likely stolen car. Who knew that might happen?

So expect the outlaw perps to have a gas mask along with their “Blade” as essential additional equipment to the stolen wheels.

Thanks be, the NZLP is not “soft on crime”! Imagine the chaos if that was not so?

Meanwhile the Media, as one, are far more obsessed with Mr Luxon renting a building he owns, very likely at a lower rental cost than the market, to “Parliamentary Services”, as an electorate office entirely lawfully: as opposed to a Hutt Valley Labour MP who did a sweetheart deal over her Office arrangements that was not quite so within the rules a wee while ago!

Am I being naive to wonder if there could be rioting in the streets in the not so far distant future? The damaged are getting more numerous with each day that passes.
