The perpetrator/perpetrators appear to be local 'white' skinheads, Christchurch and other parts of the South Island are where they are most active in NZ. Our Prime Minister just announced they...
Ahem, not trying to start an argument (especially now of all times) but I happen to be one of those 'primitive savages' from New Zealand.
