Why do New Zealand authorities tolerate gangs?

Euphemistically known as ‘motorcycle clubs’, there is nothing euphemistic about the fact, gang members are criminals.

Police know it, politicians know it, every law-abiding citizen in New Zealand knows it yet, oddly, there is an aura of inactivity regarding the desire to get these shitheads off the street.

Could there be a lack of incriminating evidence against the gangs holding up proceedings?

The Mongrel Mob has (again) been implicated in the production and dealing of methamphetamine; long time leader of the Waikato chapter, Sonny Fatupaito, is reportedly ‘offended’ by these allegations, reiterating the Mongrel Mob’s staunch ‘ban on drug use’…

In the first instalment of Warfare, written a little while ago, I documented the Mongrel Mob’s troubles with rival criminal gang, Black Power; also, how they had been before TV Three’s Samantha Hayes, pledging their ‘ban on drug use’. Since then, the Mongrel Mob have, countless times, been implicated in the production/distribution of illicit substances. Just saying.

…Clearly the Mongrel Mob’s ‘ban on drug use’ related not to the manufacture or distribution of Meth, just the personal consumption of such products.

These cretinous, most loathsome of characters are criminals; all of them.

Do not misunderstand me, motorcycle clubs, run by genuine motorcycle enthusiasts, do exist; they just do not have names like ‘Mongrel Mob’, ‘Black Power’, ‘Headhunters’, ‘King Cobras’, or the like – generally their members to not wear facial tattoos, either (then, upon leaving the gang, complain to the New Zealand Government because, on account of his outwardly threatening appearance, ‘he is being discriminated against and no one will give him a job’).

The National party was promising to ‘harden up’ on drug manufacture in New Zealand; then you voted in Labour and fairy-dust is just no match for Crusher Collins.

Of course, I’m not foolish enough to accuse the New Zealand authorities of weakness, or anything related to corruption but, it seems to me, the authorities know gang members are not productive members of society, they know gangs have money, they know the gangs don’t pay tax, they know nothing good comes from their existence; all it would take to greatly reduce drug production/distribution in New Zealand is to make gang membership a criminal offense then arrest every patch-wearing, drug-dealing shithead across the country.

Our Government throws around terms like ‘families’, ‘welfare’, ‘poverty’, ‘drug use’, ‘hardship’, ‘domestic violence’, ‘cultural appropriation’ – get rid of the gangs and suddenly all these terms could all come with a positive context.

There are already cities in the North where gang members/affiliates outnumber regular folk, cities that are basically ruled by gangs; why have we allowed this to happen?

How could New Zealand, as a First-World nation, have allowed parts of our country to become essentially under gang rule?

These truths should come as a disgusting transpiration; a deplorable act perpetuated through the negligence of our authorities.

Gangs are parasitic entities, leeching off the law-abiding.

Again, why are we tolerating it?
