The headline: ‘Waka Cup paddler’s ribs broken in ‘cowardly’ attack’
‘A young woman went from the high of paddling a waka into Auckland Harbour for the start of the Rugby World Cup to the low of being in a hospital bed with broken ribs after being “set upon” by the crowd, an elder says.
…The actions of those who attacked were “cowardly” and showed alcohol and tikanga (custom) did not mix, Mr Pauhara said…’
I suspect Mr Pauhara is either a liar or very mistaken, because deeper into the article, we have this:
‘But several people contacted APNZ to say the group was not singled out, and that many were caught in the crush prompted by people trying to get a view of TV screens which were working.
…”A man with the waka crew was very aggressive to the people around. Everyone was getting crushed and he blamed the crowd, who were getting pushed forward,” she said.
“What clearly didn’t help was the oars they were holding lengthways, rather than into the air. People were getting crushed against them.”
…..The waka crew came barging through right next to me using their sticks/ores (sic) etc as shields, pushing everyone out of the way.
“It was really quite scary, and I’m a strong young guy.”
He and friends had to form a barrier to protect three petite, elderly Indian women from the waka crew, who he said were aggressive.
“… they were acting like warriors and it was quite embarrassing, being a Kiwi and trying to explain this behaviour to foreigners next to me who were visibly upset.”
I’m willing to bet that what happened was these primitive, arrogant dugout paddlers tried barging through the crowd–and miscalculated the power of the crush of thousands of people. What’s more, they either didn’t have the brains to realise that wooden paddles held across their bodies would impose a heavy point load, or they attempted to use the paddles to force a passage and the tactic was useless and dangerous–to them.
But it’s so damn typical of these primitives and their “leaders” to cry and whine when their arrogant, physical intimidation goes wrong.
Leftists/”progressives”/socialists are not welcome here. Pay for your own soapbox.
