"This is a callous, vicious attack by a bloody animal ... We're lucky there was no serious injury," said Detective Sergeant Jason McIntosh of the Auckland crime squad."
Really this is probably an artefact of alienation and dispossession, the result of colonisation ... and simply represents a simplistic endeavour to reclaim identity.
Yep, white, old, female and vulnerable are probably the cues and the risk factors.
Now it would appear that Dover may think that Pita has something to do with such eventualities ... and there may just be something to this ... and with the rise in the frequency of the 'body snatchers' (one of the more crass, indefensible activities associated with this 'cultural entrenchment and domination') ... Labour Cabinet minister Shane Jones says Maori leaders need to establish a set of protocols for tangi to prevent body-snatchers bringing the culture into disrepute.
But 'culture' is a 'way of life, a way of living.' To say that such activity is bringing a 'culture' in to disrepute is a nonsense ... although the greater nonsense is endeavouring to defend such indefensible behaviour under the umbrella of culture ... mind you George Bush probably agrees that 'water boarding' can in fact bring out a few demons.
and what next?
Perhaps, futures trading in cadavers? Trademe.co.nz??
Following on from the notion of 'you are what you eat' .... then Cindy Kiro must endow one with inumerable powers of presence and contrived 'socially imposed conscience,' and of course a balanced diet demands, despite how unsavoury, that you eat your greens.
