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.

More likely he's had his head up his ass for a few *decades...*
Remember, "Communist!" is a snarl word 99 times out of 100 or more with these assholes. They wouldn't know an actual communist if one bit them. Plunk them down in the 1930s and they'd be shrieking "Communist!" at the very people who've ensured that they, in the modern world, have things like "weekends" and "OSHA regulations" and so on.
I am "that girl" your mother warned you about...

In the 1930's, those WERE actual communists. It wasn't until McCarthy and deep cold war that communism was really villified.
