Arrested protester previously attacked MP with Lamington

Minto and his scum are just losers they need to read the facts before mouthing off. Attacking a sports person who has nothing to do with what is happening in the middle east will not achieve anything... For the truth go to http://www.mideastweb.org/briefhistory.htm

I very much doubt that any of those absolute white trash scumbags who are protesting even know where Israel is. New Zealanders do not have any iota of a clue what Israel has to put up with surrounded by suicidal nutcase Muslim terrorists every day of its existence. Just the picture of this poor excuse of a man, Malcolm France, says it all. He lives off the state, has never had a shower or bath in his life, has never worked and is just a waste of space. These people should be hauled off to jail for disturbing an international sporting event and spoiling it for normal sane people who just want to watch.

JD you are soo right, this moron protests in our time (we pay for him to breathe), I would like to see him doing something for the taxpayers, like breaking rocks. Get them out of our faces, send them all to the Auckland Islands! Protesting against individuals is unreasonable, pathetic and damaging to our country's image.

Alien, wrong again. Free speech should be used in more appropriate circumstances, not against these sports people who don't create the laws created by their country. Why should they be used as political footballs?

Its people like this who bring to the attention of the masses, the atrocities occuring not only in our backyard but in the world. Best do some alternate reading on the Palestinian/ Israeli conflict and then you'll realise who the aggressors are. Israel as a country are a wolf in sheeps clothing. Keep up the good work Malcom.

Alien - this protest is not about free speech - they can do just the same at parliament, with this being a political protest. To target a sports person, particularly in view of the one sided point of view by Minto is totally bereft of any decency. I had already stated that I have no problem with a protest, but:
1. They should not have written to her, but to the Israeli and Palestinian Governments.
2. Be quiet outside the Arena and not interfere with the lawful business of the ASB tournament and the peaceful enjoyment of that by the spectators.

Obiwan, while protesters can be embarrassing like this group, what would be more embarrassing is throwing away free speech like you seem to wish to do. I guess the right to peaceful protest which many of them are doing is a right that some would rather see gone, scary

Just another idiot doing what his puppet master Minto wants, all at the expense of the NZ Taxpayer.

Get a job and a haircut man..

Sorry, Police, but far too late. All these idiots should be arrested and charged with harassment and public disorder. They claim to stand for Justice but there is no Justice in attacking the rights of sports people. And their ring leader, John Minto, is the biggest idiot of all. Where is our Justice system for protecting people, especially from overseas? Have they all fallen asleep? The right to demonstrate does not give the right to harrass. Where are our upstanding lawyers? Does nobody care about Justice, or are they all scared because those idiots claim to stand for Peace and Justice? What an injustice promoted by just a handful. Did they write a letter to the Palestinians, asking them to stop attacking Israel? Or are they just that blind and stupid that they cannot see the whole picture? Shame, shame, shame.
