Too soft

Written by  The Hound

OPINION: This old mutt wonders why multi-national, tax-dodging, fundraising organisation Greenpeace always gets a free pass from the police.

The latest example was in late July when its ‘activists’ blockaded a Ballance fertiliser factory in Taranaki for a day. Despite Greenpeace illegally disrupting a lawful business and hundreds of people from carrying out their jobs, the police sat around and let these self-professed anarchists behave like pork chops until they decided that it was getting a bit cold and wet and packed up and went home.

Imagine the reaction from the soap-dodging, work-shy ‘campaigners’ if a bunch of people descended on their homes or workplaces and refused to allow them free access to their properties until they decided to leave.

They would be demanding that the police arrest the illegal invaders. It’s time the cops stop being so soft.
