Throwing shit like animals.

[Lilith7]

I think the shit throwing incident might be the turning of the tide as far as public opinion is concerned.  There are lots of people who are not very interested in politics, have thus far not taken much notice of the insurrection or have swallowed the line that most of them are good people.  I have relatives who think like that.  But after this morning's disgraceful behaviour they are having to confront the insanity and fanaticism that is driving it , also the filthy reality of several hundred people living in close proximity without sanitation.

And I wonder what the local Iwi think about the portaloo contents being tipped into the gutter and flowing out into the harbour.

Yes I think you're probably right; those who've perhaps been on the fence will probably, like the rest of us take a very dim view of such behaviour & this will serve to tip them in favour of anyone but the 'protesters.'
