Just wondering if it's the same as the UK, is the process of 'fagging it up' with a rainbow actually no longer make it a crosswalk as it isn't recognised under the Highway code?
It’s always the poorest most working class areas where they roll out these rainbows.
Never in the muslim neighborhoods…

They are also a danger to horses :

Poor horses
That’s a shame. Perhaps the poster is shadowbanned? I chose a video because the poster said :
“some animals can sense wickedness”
edit: the video is only visible if I log in. F*** these underhand shadowbanning rules
That’s not the case in Australia, at least, unfortunately…
I know of at least two of these, one at a major intersection in Sydney, and one on my own damn Uni campus. Both completely legal, and “normalized”…
So I guess that doesn’t carry here.
Side note: this is about demoralization and normalization. That’s all this is.
Showing how they’ve “won”, and “You’d better agree with and like it, or else.”
So I disagree that this is “ineffective” or “unimportant”. I think taking a stand, as these guys did, is important, because it shows that we ain’t gonna just stand shit, and at least someone is willing to stand up, and take some sort of action…
Who knows what else it might inspire others to do, after all.
AFAIK it's never been legally tested. Seems black and white (no pun intended) but I can't imagine you'd find a non pozzed judge who wouldn't just throw the hate crime book at you.
If you're going to go to jail anyway, maybe do something more effective.
Comment Reported for: Rule 1 - Illegal Activity
Ehhhhhhh - This is potentially a call for civil disobedience, which isn't really what Rule 1 is for; and it's not a direction to do some specific criminal act.
We are smack dab in the middle of a culture war. And the police and government are not on our side.
Defacing symbols of the state church has always been a serious crime.
Does anyone even get the concept of a 'rainbow crosswalk'? It ensures that people walk all over the 'rainbow flag' with their dirty shoes. This is sign of disrespect in almost the entire world.
It also means you can’t really avoid it, though, I think that’s more the point.
You can avoid looking up at flags. And they’re not so ubiquitous. Much harder with something like this, or on the side of buses, for example (as it is in Melbourne), IMHO…
You can't avoid walking all over their pride symbol. ;)
Take a crosswalk where idiots do burnouts at night all the time, paint it funny colours, and suddenly you have an ample supply of hate crimes.
Take a crosswalk and cover it in slippery plastic paint and skidmarks are inevitable.
The rainbow itself is to groom children. Kids are interested in shiny colorful things.
Who uses a crosswalk? Children. An adult jaywalks or even in a city doesn't even think about it at all, whereas a child is terrified of getting run over and hyper focused on the crosswalk. So the rainbow flag crosswalk is associated with protection - that's where you're "safe" to cross or "transition" to the other side.
Absolutely about grooming kids.
Laughs in Sweden They don't jaywalk there... It was weirdly noticeable, while I was living there, but it is hugely frowned upon...
Not sure if our resident Swedes want to chime in on whether this is only a city thing, or if there's more to it, but from what I've read, I'm not the first foreigner to pick up on that, lol...
But I mean, it's not really terribly surprising, given their whole national "psyche" (following orders, conforming, etc.), tbh...
Yeah but the rainbow flag is a symbol of proud perversion and the foot fetish is emblematic of this Nietzschean values-inverted upside-down world. So you're basically participating in a subverted form of respect where the profane is rendered into the sacred.
Idk if this is the conscious intent but it certainly fits.
It's Easter, so all I'm going to say is I hope these queer people find Jesus.
Would be terribly funny if this was a false flag and the culprits were gays
A false fag as it were.
Remember there have been times this sort of thing has been done almost immediately by the government themselves because it fucks up car cams, horses, and various other aspects of infrastructure all for the sake of some virtue signaling. Guess the tyrants in charge are just pissy someone else beat them to it.
For once I am proud of my country. Not the police, mind you, but the fact that this looks like the faggot crosswalk on K rd in Auckland, and another cross walk got painted over in Gisborne recently too.
Nice to see Kiwis stand up against the rainbow nazis.
I must say I enjoyed the "mascot run" you guys had for the Warriors match yesterday (i.e. Easter), too. I don't even think we would be allowed to do that in Aus, anymore, and it was roundly mocked by Channel Nine for its "NZ weirdness", but I rather enjoyed it, lol...
One of the few ways you guys are freer than us (sometimes), it would seem!
Also oddly humourous, for a country which (no offence) sometimes seems to severely lack a sense of humour, lol...
Itll be funny if they are native new zealanders.
I'm sure there's actual crimes they could focus on.
A rogue public workmen? Is this real life, because that was almost exactly a subplot in the movie 'Brazil'.
Bleeding-heart liberalism for murderers, rapists, child molesters, and thugs, tough on crime conservatism for self-defense and wrongthink. ACAB for cops performing the most basic task of maintaining civilization, Thin Blue Line for cops who ruthlessly suppress the chuds.
Was never about a principled opposition to violent enforcement and subjugation, and I think that even many normiecons would rather believe that proglodytes are merely naive and misguided, because when you connect the dots you can't avoid the conclusion that they're just plain evil.
how's general crime in NZ? if it's low, then hunting vandals would be a normal police activity.
Crime used to be low, but thanks to the previous government (Labour), crime has sky rocketed. From the photo it looks like Auckland, where crime has gone up the most, so the Police there should definitely have something better to do.
This is on K road. I used to live there decades ago when I was a student because it was so cheap at the time. It was where all the prostitutes and drug addicts hung out. Pretty disgusting place at night. Constantly being accosted by diseased trannys and dodging puddles of vomit on the ground.
I remember seeing a couple of people hit (but not killed) on that exact crossing. Funny that the government decided to make it even more dangerous.
Good ol K Rd. I’ve played a few gigs at bars along there, lol
Good that you guys both shorten the crazy-long Māori names…
I know of at least a couple of (female) NZ expats who would be deeply offended if I even did that, lol…
They were obnoxiously “PC”, though.
What sort of music do ya play, btw, out of interest..?
Mostly Brit-rock type stuff, I play drums. Though, I haven’t played in many years.
This is fiction, but still: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Once_Were_Warriors_(film)
While I hate to stereotype an entire culture as "violent", there's a reason that stereotype exists, in this case...
See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boy_(2010_film) , which is how Taika Y-titty got famous in the first place...
There's definitely some dark undercurrents in Māori culture, if I may say so (sorry to the Kiwis in this thread)... Different ones to in Aboriginal culture (some are the same, some are not), but they are there, nonetheless...
Oh and also this, which... Brought some of that to light: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Grace_Millane
NZ is fake & gay.
