Another day, another shooting. This time at 11:15pm on Wellesley St West.
This one was at the Femme Fatale brothel. Gang hit?

@nzzp The more 'hardened' crims now getting deported from OZ?
where do they get handguns though? May be the aussies, but whatever it is, it's normalised.
National will play merry hell with law and order, and rightly so. The root causes are poverty, but goddamn there's some shit being let go that is hard to justify

@toddy speaking to a cop recently and he said the 'imports' arent necessarily the ones doing these acts, but they have upped the game and pushing others around them into action.
POverty and covid has caused a perfect storm for gang recruiting though, add in hundreds of cops having to spend months policing covid borders instead of actual policing, and here we are.

Does anyone have any idea who to vote for in the election?
Good luck working through all of that…

holy shit there is some gold. I thought Lisa Lewis was satire, but check out Michael Morris, representing our underclass.

@dogmeat said in Auckland CBD:
The Mayor has very little power anyway. It's a Presidential type position leading a council that is deeply fractured. Which inevitably results in a succession of shabby compromises and very little in the way of real progress.

Stuff provide heavily slanted journalism on Wayne. Wayne doesn't invite them to a media conference. Stuff get really pissy.
It's petty, but kind of funny.

@nzzp He also didn't invite TVNZ or Newshub, lead by attacking 'the media' and moved on to insulting a swathe of Councilors.
Which is all good fun and he's right about some of the Councilor's but it's no way to lead an organisation.
He doesn't come across as all that financially literate either and part of me suspects any asset sale will involve more than a whiff of cronyism.
Maenwhile his poor Deputy has to yet again front the press and explain the Mayor's shenanigans. He's lucky really. His behaviour would get a much rougher ride in many overseas media markets.

Pissing off the media has never ever worked unless you have an alternate media in your back pocket willing to support and promote all that you do.
Brown is trying Trump tactics without the full equation.
