Tame Iti - facing firearms charges. New Zealand Police have conducted operations to shut down training camps and found weapons including "Molotov Cocktails" and "napalm bombs". Both are sure to send a shiver down the collective spine of "middle New Zealand" as it recoils in horror at the prospect of some kind of military action. There were reports of a threat against the Prime Minister. The police have taken "prudent action in keeping with the interests of public safety" saying there was significant risk. It is now before the courts so comments can be only mere speculation. If the police claims are true, are we witnessing the start of a civil war or is this just a bunch of survivalist hunters learning how to survive in "the bush"? Time will reveal what the police have on Tame Iti - the famous Maori activist who was tried for shooting the flag at Waitangi. Police allege they captured illegal weapons including military style assault weapons and automatic guns as well as having collected evidence on the case for an investigation of up to two years.
