Description

The scene shows a little old lady who has staggered to her front door with the aid of two walking sticks. She there confronts rather short-sightedly two huge Black Power members who are petitioning residents with the aim of getting rid of the mayor, Michael Laws. At the same time they politely ask whether the old lady's cannabis and 'P' needs are being met. There have been several serious incidents of physical violence in the streets of Wanganui recently and the mayor, Michael Laws, in his characteristic way, has waded into the fray determined to free the streets of patched gang members and describing them as terrorists. Gangs are reputed to be responsible for a lot of the New Zealand drug trade. There is a cactus and a garden gnome by the front door.
