so I just read this and I'm absolutely disgusted. honestly who do these pricks think they are?? how do we show them this is not to be tolerated in a welcoming safe public space, or anywhere for that matter! fucking bigots spreading fear and hate and misogynistic bullshit. just fuck these guys we need to get an exclusion order against them from being within 100m of a library. we need to stand up to these bullying cunts how? writing to Rachel Boyack hardly vents my spleen enough thanks for listening 🀬🀬🀬🀬

Leader Brian Tamaki called on Upper Hutt Mayor Wayne Guppy to cancel the event, warning β€œif the Mayor and his councillors do not shut this event down, I have instructed our Destiny Church members and ManUp men to shut it down.”

Oh yep, so where's the government and their getting tough on crime crowd when these fascist thugs are threatening people like this

There's no hate quite like Christian love...

Weird how they don’t mention an investigation into the threats.

Why not have it still but have the people who made threats monitored or SOMETHING! Around the world regressives are holding us all back.

Because monitoring those that hold these view doesn't have any stopping power. These people don't fear social isolation for their views, they will in fact get social credit.

What should be done however is Brian Tamaki should be arrested for inciting violence.

i think I'll write to Rachel Boyack and suggest this. these cunts need to be shown we don't tolerate their bullying crap

This also makes me very sad. What can we do? Perhaps join protests? Email politicians?

[–] Dave 3 points 4 months ago

That's a good question. No harm in emailing politicians asking how they can solve it. If we don't have the laws to stop it now, politicians will be needed, and it's important that they get a feel for the general publics view.
