In the weekend, Bob McCoskrie, the director of Family First, was the target of an unusual protest.
According to Stuff (http://www.stuff.co.nz/4720098a11.html), four black-clad women approached McCoskrie's house at night when he and his family were away, leaving a threatening note and driving about a thousand knives into his lawn.
The intimidating nature of the act was somewhat undone by the fact that the knives were made of plastic.
I am trying to not to giggle about this, or McCoskrie's public refusal to bow down to this flagrant misuse of disposable cutlery.
Whatever it is the black-clad women are protesting, they may need to make it a little clearer!

Let it first be said that I think McCroskie and his organisation are dangerous reactionaries of the worst order.
But having said that I think that the use of threatening knotes and knives - even fake ones - to make a political point is stooping to Bob's level.
I think there's something of living and dying by the (plastic) sword about it.
And where are all the forks? A thousand unmarried knives is exactly the sort of unnatural society Family First warns us against.

Well, that's rather what I meant by stooping to his level. If Family First wound up because of these sorts of protests, could it really be called a victory?
Heartily agree, sanctuary. It's not what nature intended. Next thing you know, knives will be getting together with other knives, and who will think of the spoons?
I don't understand it either. Odd.
Yes I find Family First rather vile, but this sort of threatening political activity is moreso - wingnuts have a right to peaceful use of their own property.
