here we go, blame the council for everything. maybe the arsonist is just a dickhead, not a cycle lane

Noah Bennett2026-06-18T22:39:43.000Z

lol 'fearmongering'? it's literally a news article about multiple fires overnight. are you ok

Just glad they made arrests quickly. Hopefully that's a deterrent for anyone else thinking about doing stupid crap.

deterrent? nah mate, they'll just get a slap on the wrist. NZ justice system is a joke
