New Zealand police arrest pair trying to enter Auckland with ‘large amount’ of KFC:
The men were arrested after allegedly trying to flee from police near the Auckland border. When their car was searched, police said they found a large quantity of KFC, as well as the cash and a number of empty ounce bags.
The arrest struck a chord with New Zealanders – especially Aucklanders, who have spent a month in a strict level four lockdown that does not allow restaurants to open or residents to order takeaway food.
[...] After the KFC arrest, a police spokesperson said “officers noticed a suspicious looking vehicle travelling on a gravel road, and upon seeing the police car, the vehicle did a U-turn and sped off trying to evade police.
[...] A breach of the Covid-19 Public Health Response Act can result in imprisonment for up to six months; or a fine of up to $4,000.
The men will appear in court for breaching the health order, and police said further charges were likely.

I was just a wee lad then - but it seems to me that the public's opinion wasn't all that tarnished. It was mandatory that we had our shots before starting school in 1961. I can't say how many years prior to 1961 they were mandatory, but I know that I had my shot because the school required it.
To put things in perspective, 3 members of the family in my parent's generation were stricken by polio. None in my generation. No siblings, no cousins, no second cousins, third cousins, no classmates. As far as I know, everyone in my generation in this country got the shot.

And yet you had to be forced by your family to get the covid shot. What the fuck is wrong with you? Why was 5 year old you smarter than 65 year old you?

'Zumi attributes me with god-like powers. She probably thinks that I was responsible for that whole Vietnam War thing. Probably thinks that I assassinated John, Bobby, and Martin. Fear the demigod, Runaway!
