Gang War: New Zealand Style

What’s the top story in New Zealand lately? It happens to be a gang war in the country’s most southern city, Invercargill. A city I had imagined as virtually desolate, but what do I know. Not shit. Anyways, its not the kind of gang warfare we as Americans are used to. The usual Bloods versus Crips is not present here in the land of kiwis, instead it’s the war between two motorcycle gangs. It is the Road Knights against the Mongrel Mob. It seems that the Road Knights’ headquarters was burned to the ground along with a lot of their motorcycles. The Knights blame the Mongrel Mob for this blatant attack and want revenge. The Road Knights, who are openly gay and racist, insist that the streets of Invercargill will run red with Mongrel Mob blood. Apparently the Road Knights were involved in gang warfare during the ‘80s and claim Invercargill as their home turf. It looks like the Mongrel Mob had better watch their backs. I would if there were a gang of motorcycle riding, racist gays after me. Don’t worry, I’ll keep you informed of any New Zealand gang war updates! Maybe I’ll even take a short weekend trip down to Invercargill for a frontline update. My new impression of this city I have never been to? Pretty much the same uninformed guess that I outlined above. Only now the city is run by white supremacist homosexuals on motorcycles, dressed in tight constricting leather. So far all my preconceived notions of Kiwis have been 100% correct so I’m expecting this won’t be too far from the truth.
