"Maori Terrorism"

The Urewera "terrorists" now down to four have reached the end of their trial for being part of a criminal group and arms charges. What I saw on TV were shadowy figures, carrying guns, aiming them, and going in single file through dense bush. No one's identity could be ascertained through the Police video lenses and of course there were more than four in the video; the rest having had their charges dropped. Which ones according to the video were criminals and which illegally carrying arms? Why were the four chosen? Tame Iti was an obvious one. After shooting our precious flag with a shot gun and having it shown on TV ad nauseum and his past doings, he was a marked Tuhoe. The others however were not known except apparently as activists. I'd never heard of them. 

The jury's verdict will be interesting. I can't believe that four make up a criminal gang. There's no evidence shown on TV that marks them out as such. Arms charges may have some point although unlicensed guns are quite common in NZ including the Urewera. Tuhoe have been hunting pigs and deer for many years. I doubt if all the guns I saw while camping with a Tuhoe whanau up the river from Ruatoki were licensed. If these arms are such a big deal then the Police should be watching the arms dealers and sellers not those playing with them in the bush.
