Approximately 5,000 concertgoers were evacuated from the Homegrown Music Festival in New Zealand because someone thought they saw a “right-wing tattoo” on an attendee.
Seriously.
The 28-minute long evacuation took place on Saturday evening, just before a scheduled moment of silence for the massacre victims.
Police were alerted when festival crew members spotted someone with a tattoo that they believed to be linked to “far right ideology.”
The alert happened while bands were changing sets and people were moving around, so the police could not immediately locate the attendee for his tattoo check. Since they couldn’t find him, they evacuated the area.
“A person has been spoken to and the area searched, and as a result Police can confirm there has been no threat to the Homegrown festival or the public,” the police said in a statement. “While the concern in this case appears to have been an innocent misunderstanding, Police would like to remind people to stay vigilant and call 111 if they see anything suspicious.”
It turned out that it was a “mistake” and the tattoo was “traditional” — not related to the right at all.
“The person was found and it turned out that is was a completely innocent misunderstanding and everyone was allowed to return,” Wright said. “It all turned out good but it was unfortunate that it happened and people were inconvenienced.”
We have reached out to the organizers of the festival and asked what would have happened to the attendee if he did in fact have a right-wing tattoo. Would he have been thrown out of the festival? Arrested? We will update this article if a comment is provided.
Thank God for that!
The speed at which New Zealand collectively cut off their balls has been truly impressive
What if it had been a Red China or North Korean one? Probably okey dokey, even though the perp of the recent tragedy there said he greatly admired both of those countries.
Tattoo,
Check.
This is sad, really sad.
Attention snowflakes: the Right isn’t your problem. Never has been.
Pull the drain plug in New Zealand it’s done
All rationality has gone off the deep end. This is incredible. Worse thing is they are not even going to feel embarrassed for being so stupid.
Good thing they’re surrendering their guns.
Just make sure to keep your pearls, Kiwis, so you can clutch them when the SHTF.
The Moari must be really scary to these snowflakes.
Remember that New Zealand lost most of its best genetic stock from 1914-1945.
They missed the mullah with the AK47 under his skirt.
Did the tattoo say , Freedom ?
Let me guess: NZ death-metal and rockabilly bands were on the bill?
(Cue Reverend Horton Heat’s “Death Metal Guys” song.)
Thought someone posted a piece yesterday stating that about 38 weapons have been turned in so far after jackarinda (whatever the pm’s name is) had them declared illegal.
Welcome to New Vaginaland!
And we wonder these types of nations are able to easily be taken over by Islam. What a bunch of cowards!
Western culture is mostly full blown cuck.
“Worse thing is they are not even going to feel embarrassed for being so stupid.”
Not embarrassed? The sheeple are being rapidly conditioned for the next step, which will inevitably be mass arrests/detainment, re-education camps, and finally, death camps. And the sheeple will cheer these arrests, they are being conditioned as we speak.
(How many people cause a stampede?)
No attack at Disneyland Paris, escalator problem caused panic: authorities
Loud noises caused by an elevator malfunction at Disneyland Paris on Saturday led to a brief moment of panic, and rumors of an attack, but there were no injuries, authorities said.
A police spokesman said people at the park mistook the sounds for gunfire. France’s Interior Ministry said there was a stampede, but that it was a false alarm and that the security forces confirmed there was no threat to the public.
Roger Stone would have been banned if he removed his shirt in New Zealand.
What a bunch of sissies.....Kiwi Kwitters
