Black Power Boss Labled a Joke

Black Power Boss Labled a Joke

11th March 2016

“The gangs need to wake up and realise that they are the minority in society and the minority doesn’t rule.” Guthrie

Sensible Sentencing Trust’s Scott Guthrie is labelling Black Power associate Keith Hamiora as an idiot who needs to wake up and understand that New Zealand wants gangs gone and gone now.
Guthrie’s comment is in reply to Hamiora’s statement that “gang culture was firmly entrenched in New Zealand and nothing, or nobody, would ever change that”.
Hamiora also stated “Drugs had become part of gang culture out of financial necessity and because of the nature of that business violence was inevitable”.

Guthrie says, “If gang culture is so firmly entrenched in New Zealand’s culture how come a small town like Whanganui has successfully eradicated any gang regalia from its streets?”

“This Government successfully eradicated gangs and their threating regalia from all government buildings because New Zealand has had enough of the violence and the drugs and the low life nonsense that these thugs try and force on law abiding citizens.”

“The gangs need to wake up and realise that they are the minority in society and the minority doesn’t rule.”
Guthrie adds, “Sensible Sentencing stands right behind Police Minister Judith Collins with her call to eradicate them and also New Zealand Firsts policy to abolish them in their entirety. They have successfully done it in 4 States of Australia so New Zealand can too.”
