Posie Parker protest: Man accused of punching elderly woman appears in courtA young Gisborne man accused of punching an elderly woman in the head during the heated Posie Parker counter-protest in Auckland late last month appeared in court for the first time today, waving briefly to the magistrate before nervously folding his hands in front of him. That would make those appalled by the woke violence from the weekend happy, but we can’t afford to feed our vengeance fantasies here. People have a right to protest as much as Posie Parker has to speak, what happened on that weekend however went from protest to mob violence. That is what we are spending public money on, lies and more lies? Political violence is never acceptable and if we allow the woke to drive us into violent political street movements we are doomed.
