Facebook helps promote criminal activity in New Zealand!

Kia Ora,

How is Facebook helping to promote criminal activity in New Zealand?

By allowing a page to be formed calling for riots is the All Blacks loose in the Rugby World Cup 2011 here in NZ.

What those that set up the page do not realize is they most likely can be prosecuted for incitement to riot.

Tonight the police here in Christchurch will not have a great night as the local Rugby team lost. It would be a lot worse if they, the Crusaders(professional team) or All Blacks lost in the city itself.

Yes a lot of people on that page will be on there just for fun, but there is a growing number that will be on there to happily take part in any anti social activities that would break out if this situation arises.

The NZ police have said that they are ready for any eventuality & are preparing for issues at the Stadia.
Antisocial Behavior: Personality Disorders from Hostility to Homicide
But what if the issues arise away from the Stadia? Most New Zealanders are not going to be able to attend the main games live as they have already been seen to be far too expensive for most.

It is doubtful that the police or NZ Security Industry will be ready for too many incidents at once of this type.

So gatherings in town centres or hospitality spots such as Party Central will be where it starts as people get angry over the loss & it would spread quickly. If people already have a common belief, as promoted by the Facebook page, then it wouldn't take much to spark riots.

One of the six requirements for a riot to occur is a common belief.

Social Media can be useful, but it also can spread quickly messages that can have far retching consequences such as text messages to out of control parties that the police regularly have to deal with.

Bit of a Cheek really! NZ commenting on others Security!

Kia Ora,

Talk about stating the bleeding obvious. Some cables from the NZ High Commission in India have shown that they expect possible terrorist attacks on 'Soft' targets during the Commonwealth games.

Have said that before that India might get hit, but also have said India is a bit like Britain. Just get on with life.

But talking about 'Soft' targets that is New Zealand across the board & it will have an effect as not only New Zealanders view New Zealand as unlikely to have a terrorist attack, but so do many outside the country. The Rugby World Cup 2011 is an even better reason for an attack.

But if you think like a terrorist,then New Zealand is a prime target as it will have an effect way beyond any casualties caused.

'Soft targets that sprinbg to mind right away are the Rugby Road in Christchurch & Party Central in Auckland.

It is the job of High Commissions & Embassies to provide these assessments to their governments but in this case it is a bit cheeky to comment on 'soft' targets in other countries.

New Zealand would rate as the softest, juciest target going. Or as an Australian businessman said "Apathy reigns."
