Destiny Church library protest 'intimidating and unacceptable' - police (www.rnz.co.nz)

It's astonishing to me that this violent action by a cult hasn't resulted in any arrests by the police nor any action by the government.

It's also weird that nobody on lemmy.nz felt the story was important enough to post and discuss.

I mean I agree with you and I’ve already signed the change.org petition, I’m not sure what else I can do.

I mean there is a lot we can do including speaking out whenever possible in every platform available to us but the most powerful and effective thing you can do is to join a union.

throughout history the only force for the benefit of the average person has been unions.

I can’t make much comment about what the Police should do, I don’t really know all the details. Hopefully they get the right people who incited it too.

They won't do anything unless we put pressure on them. Put pressure on your MP to force them to pressure the police.

I think Brian is a festering fuck head.

But I'm curious as to how joining a union would stop him showing up.

It won't effect it directly but it will make the country as a whole more hostile to him and people like him. Strongers unions will make for a stronger middle class which will make for less people seeking solace in cults. It will also weaken the income disparity and therefore cut off some of his funding.
