No flames from me! Great job!
Gidday, Kiwi....good job, taking back your neighborhood, one piece at a time, bit by bit.

Cheers, Kathy! Did you like the video coverage? The day actually belongs to “Kimodo”, our newly-appointed CBD Chapter Leader. She is an amazing woman who has brought her entire Medieval Martial Arts club into an effective Patrol. What they do not know about bladed weapons isn’t worth knowing!
She is currently teaching a group of elderly ladies from the Henderson RSA’s women’s section how to defend themselves against muggers and rapists. They learned about knives last Saturday. Crikey!!!
I thought TV3 did an awesome job of the interview: they are welcome to Patrol with us anytime they like. Not all of the MSM are bad: there are some of them that will go out and do the job properly, like Simon and his crew from Campbell Live. They have always, always been fair with us.
For that reason, for as long as they like, the TV3 crew will have exclusive access to the Guardian Angels in NZ.
> Thank you, DieHard the Hunter and the others who have decided to act, you are good citizens.
Cheers for that, mate!
I’m just an ordinary guy, so are the rest of The Lads (that’s what we call ourselves in NZ, even the girls. We do not differentiate or discriminate in any way. We do not make any effort to be PC. So we are all “The Lads” or “The Brotherhood-of-the-Wing”)
I have been blessed with the opportunity to lead some truly amazing New Zealand Citizens. These are folk who have Dared to Care, to be Role Models for Life, Beyond the Streets.
Me, I’m just a fat salesman who one day decided that he’d had enough.
Anyone can do this, it’s not hard.
It was good video coverage...the best of luck to all of you.
> Wow....your story is inspiring....it takes one person with an idea and the guts to run with it.....Good on ya mate !!!!
(Big grin!) Thanks for that! Anybody can do this: it isn’t difficult, and it doesn’t take alot of time. I get to do the Guardian Angels thing using the same time I’d otherwise watch the Rugby with a warm beer and cold pizza on a Friday evening. It is *that* easy.
Do you want your neighborhood back, no crime, no graffiti? It is as easy as a couple hours per week.
You want excitement? Go on Patrol: you will live off the adrenaline for a week. Real Life is much, much better than anything TV can dish out.
Folks, this is easy! Really, honest-to-God! The Bad Guys have taken over because we have all become mesmerized by “Sex in the City” and “Dancing with Stars” and “The Sopranos” — instead, all we really need to do is spend a couple hours each night scaring the Bad Guys away. That’s all.
(and I do mean “scaring” — to my experience, the Bad Guys are all cowards and cretins. They are afraid and they will flee if opposed by resolute law-abiding Citizens. We frighten them. They are like hyenas: lots of noise, pretty scary and sharp teeth. But there is nothing there underneath the noise and snarl.)
This is our Country, not theirs. Let’s take it back. The Bad Guys probably don’t even pay taxes! Whoever said that they get to call the shots???
Don’t wait for the Government to fix things. You each personally have a responsibility to help deliver the outcomes you expect from the Society in which you live.
You must not take the Law into your own hands but by Crikey you must take the Law and run with it. That is what good Citizens should do.
By Crikey, we must all, at very least, be good, active Citizens. We owe that much to each other.
Get involved. And if anyone tells you not to get involved, tell them where to go: they are part of the Problem, not part of the Solution. Get involved. Get stuck in.
I’ll help you do this, as much as I can.
*DieHard the Hunter*
GOOD WORK MATE!
KIA KAHA!
Bah, we have armed groups that I put more faith in. Sorry. Them’s the breaks.
Btw, I carry a gun daily. IMHO, I do more to prevent to crime by joining my fellow armed citizens than the angels ever will. Call it a Texan thing.
> Bah, we have armed groups that I put more faith in. Sorry. Them’s the breaks.
Good luck to you and your armed groups. I hope you never have need to draw down on someone or they on you: they tell me death is an irreversable thing. Not exactly something I’d want to wear on my conscience.
I’ll stick with the Angels, thanks. There’s something appealing to chasing away bad-guys as an unarmed Patrol.
Learning how to throw a good left hook is a heaps more practical life-skill than learning how to hit a bullseye: my left is always loaded, always with me, doesn’t require oiling or even a license.
Yet my left is accurate and decisive, and highly unlikely to put me in the dock in front of the Beak if I have to use it to defend myself.
Nope — unarmed is a much better way to Patrol.
> Btw, I carry a gun daily. IMHO, I do more to prevent to crime by joining my fellow armed citizens than the angels ever will. Call it a Texan thing.
If carrying a gun makes you feel tuff, great: whatever feeds your self-esteem, mate. Just don’t point that thing at me.
Guardian Angels don’t need to carry weapons, and we don’t. We do, however, train in taking weapons off armed yahoos, and some of us are pretty good at it. Call it a Guardian Angel thing.
> Bully.. Meth as a drug is worse than crack.. as hard as that is to believe.. The stuff eats the brain up even worse than crack does.. Hopefully if your Org. spreads into small towns also Meth addiction can be slowed down..
P-Methamphetamine is scary, scary stuff. In New Zealand we have the largest per-capita consumption of this filthy drug in the entire world! And most of it is made in my neighborhood: West Auckland. Crikey!
I particularly hate what it does to the user: it “uses up” his entire Being: he literally wastes away while gaining super-powers: all of his life-force is being crammed into a few moments, sucking the very juice out of his existence. That is why P-Meth addicts lose weight so quickly: it is an unsustainable addiction.
And, naturally, when they are on P-Meth, they are invincible. It takes three Angels to control a P-Meth addict. They become horribly violent and amazingly strong and quite resistent to pain.
God, I hate the stuff! Whoever invented P-Methamphetamine ought to rot in Hell.
Amazing the stuff humans can get addicted too.. You name it somebody is addicted to it.. Humans can obsess on most anything.. even religion.. Who ever came up with the meme obsessive personality was right on.. I've seen people kick some drug only to obsess on something else.. even something "legal".. or another drug.. even FOOD..
Meth and crack is bad but so is some other drugs.. heroin, other opiates and alcohol..
Why do you people always assume that those of who armed don't know how to throw a punch? I happen to have studied martial arts all of my life, holding belts in Judo, Karate, Modern Arnis, and Tae Kwon Do. I can go toe to toe as well as anyone, but you're a lunatice if you think any of the above equals a yellow belt in gun fu.
Btw, is that a bit of liberalism seeping through in your obvious contempt for an armed populace?
> Btw, is that a bit of liberalism seeping through in your obvious contempt for an armed populace?
You live a privileged life, with a Second Amendment to a Constitution. In NZ we have neither. A good left hook is the best I can manage, legally: if that makes me a “liberal” in your books, fine.
> Why do you people always assume that those of who armed don’t know how to throw a punch?
I have said nothing about your capabilities to throw a punch, one way or the other. I have merely stated a preference for an unarmed response to use-of-force. This is something positive that every Citizen can do — with the added bonus that they are also able to sleep at nights with a clean conscience. For all your big talk about guns I doubt you have ever killed someone. If you have, what was it like?
> I happen to have studied martial arts all of my life, holding belts in Judo, Karate, Modern Arnis, and Tae Kwon Do. I can go toe to toe as well as anyone, but you’re a lunatice if you think any of the above equals a yellow belt in gun fu.
All of this may be so: I have no way to check your macho claims and no desire to. If you point your firearm at me, or at any innocent party in my vicinity, I shall arrest you. So keep it in your pocket, mate.
So glad I stumbled on this!
Great story & video Die Hard.
It’s wonderful works that you & the Angels are doing. Thank you!
