dogs given 'P' to make them more aggressive
what? 'p' to make their dogs more aggressive. dogs don't need that kind of
abuse to be aggressive. your common garden variety abuse will do the trick. just beat them and under feed them. any cro magnum knows that. as for the idiots who might want to expose the rest of us to their over emphasised machismo, perhaps it is they who should be bent over a barrel and left to the tender mercies of the monsters they create. it is not the dog that should be licensed, its the owner.

it's thursday today
it's a lovely day in the thriving [not really thriving] slum district of naenae. the sun is up and about though, and i do like it.
off to christchurch [the garden city] on monday morning to investigate a job. basically it's to see if we love each other.
i have been listening to the radio this morning. they were talking about the 'gang' problems here in naenae. it's uncanny just how far from reality they are. it was almost funny.
it was interesting to see northland maori are going to have a go at the british govt over the treaty. they did sign a doc that said [article 3 of said treaty] "
the same rights and privileges as british subjects." i wouldn't hold your breath if i were you. they're asking for pensions and passports. interesting that, that should arise not one week after i discussed it with my m8 the painter.
the talk back this morning was quite racist about it [the possible treaty claim]. not helpful.
the kiwis play oz in rugby league this weekend. i hope we win. it will be tough. they are the best at this game.

a community problem
community role in cutting crime
what this year's crime audit has really done is underline the social impact of youth crime and the damage caused by teen gangs. it shows how police, particularly those in south auckland, face a new wave of crime while they fight methamphetamine. in hamilton, a youth gang fight claimed the life of dylan jenkins last november. his crime was to wear the wrong colour bandana. the court stories told of the rival east and west side factions – groups with nothing worth fighting over, but prepared to fight to the death over it. south auckland has been dogged by tit-for-tat battles between gangs who in august were killing themselves at a rate of one a week.
waikato's top policeman, disappointed with the waikato result, also raised social issues this week. superintendent kelvin powell said the crime results did not belong to the police alone, they were the community's results. he called on the public to be more vigilant and report crime. he has also recently overseen the return of six staff to the hamilton east station. in south auckland police already have more people on the beat to tackle the gang crisis which has claimed six lives this year. regardless of how the latest figures are digested, the answers to reducing crime are not confined to a police budget. crime in new zealand is alive and well – but crime busting, welfare tactics and community action have still knocked it back almost 20 per cent in 10 years. whole article .....
i live in naenae in the the hutt valley, wellington region. recently, we have had a drive-by shooting and two stabbings. both involving the mongrel mob and the black power. both very public, with innocents standing around. as naenae tries it's damndest to keep up with south auckland regarding youth crime, i can only point out that it is indeed, a community problem. until the community puts a stop to youth crime, we will have to put up with it and the effect it has on us.
