I wish I had a text link for this, but I'll have to narrate it instead:
Last night on Campbell Live there was a segment on Boy Racers who have been raising hell on a particular stretch of road here in Chch. This road runs between Orana Wildlife Trust Park and MacLean's Island. A few years ago, a stray spark from a motorcycle caused a fire there, and there is fear that this could happen again. Furthermore, their pealing out, loud exhausts, etc. etc. are causing distress for the animals.
The woman from Orana said she was hesitant to speak out because the last time she was on TV, the Boy Racers had fired fireworks into the park.
They then showed someone from Chch City Council who said, that there was essentially nothing they could do. They couldn't ban the Boy Racers from the road (though they had already banned them from other streets within Chch), so their hands were tied.
Okay, do we not have police here in Chch? I could have sworn I see these white, orange, and blue cars that have the word 'Police' written on them, but I could be mistaken.
I mean, honestly, WTF?
