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.

Mmm hmmm. And you probably saw a buncha spittle leaving the mouth of the broadcaster that told you that. That doesn't change the fact that the Trump Administration turded up its credibility about vaccine development numerous times. If you truly feel that 'prominent lefties' are responsible for vaccine hesitancy then you really should have been wagging your finger at the Trump Administration's mis-steps that gave the left such a powerful weapon to wield against the rights' voters.
