Could National's promise to be tough on crime get a better endorsement than this?:
A prominent Mongrel Mob president claims National's gang policies are devastating, a breach of their human rights, and will create a "psychological war".
Speaking exclusively to the Herald, Waikato Mongrel Mob Kingdom leader Sonny Fatupaito said after reading up on the proposals, he believes they will cause chaos. . .
National's police spokesman Mark Mitchell said they would not be "threatened or intimidated" by gang members.
"If you choose to remain in gangs, peddling drugs and misery in our communities, life will be a lot more difficult under a National-led Government.
"There is a simple solution though. Leave the gangs at once. National will work with and support any gang members, especially those with families, who wish to leave and rejoin society." . .
The steep increase in gang numbers and crime and growing fears about safety were big factors in Labour's election loss.
National and Act both have policies to be much tougher on crime than the outgoing government and a crackdown on gangs' illegal activities will be part of that.
