Maori "terrorists"

Re: Maori "terrorists"

Since it has not been proven that they (the arrested) were training with military style weapons it would be premature of us to deplore them if nothing has been proven. Were they proven guilty there would be a lot of shame on us. In Maori society, people try their best not to assume, as they only make an ass out of themselves if they're wrong. So, I deplore the actions of the police in that they could have handled this much better. In the end, they may not charge them under the terrorism law but could instead go for them under the fire arms law.

That should have read 'were they not proven guilty'.

Hopefully the courts will remain unbiased and be as impartial as possible.
