The Government and Security Forces of NZ have a duty to protect their citizens.
Perhaps by their actions (although it may look like appeasement from thousands of miles away) they may prevent any retaliatory acts from Muslims who may believe they have a duty to 'even the score'?
It doesn't mena that they have to 'give ground' in any other way....

I've been quite surprised at how much these women in NZ wearing a scarf has been so praised, especially on AB. I can't quite see why this isn't considered cultural appropriation? Do you have to dress up to show solidarity? It's almost no different from blacking up were the victims 'people of colour' and that would be quite outrageous.
Are you asking me if I would have donned a scarf as Constable Evans and others did?
In truth, I don't know , doubtful that I would have unless entering a place of worship- should she/they?
How on earth can I answer for someone else.
Had I worn one and a Muslim lady tell me I was being most unhelpful then I would happily remove it.

AOG you silly sausage ! you are almost there with the elephant in the room !
(cries from Abers - heffalump what dat den? wear da elephant den?)
Jacind turned up in a maori cloak to 'show respect' where no maoris were killed, the killer wasnt a maori and she isnt either
and bareheaded as Maori grils do ....unmarried maoris I suspect
pt 2 when the queen mum visited the bombed out east end ( no not last week of course - she's dead! yes I know we are on AB) some marxist said - oh come in your finery to visit your subjects
and the queen mum said
well you would wear your best if you came to visit me wouldnt you?
so it is a good point
at various social contact points - one wears various clothes to match the event - and says formulaic things
but who decides what?
and what is respectful?
sociologists of AB - on your marks !
[ or asTTT says - I am going to start a countdown: ten ..... eleven ..... I'm counting everyone!]
I will start off for AOG
AOG: when oh when! will the men in this country realise that the whites (the white voters- the ones who matter) in this country deplore the trend ....

very good point Mama
1970s when a sikh squaddie was blown up in N I - his pals attended the funeral at the local gurdwara ( Ni - eek forrin! others - what dat den?) and they wore knotted hankies on their heads as they had to cover them as a mark of respect
In Cracow in the ruined synagogue - I was asked to wear a yarmulka and I said I am christian and they said no matter
Young gurls in Rome in a church - you still wear stuff on your heads innit?
mosko - take your shoes off - shirt and trousers
AND .......
when I saw someone wearing a rosary as a neck chain ( fella ) I did say -" look you know this is a religious objaaaay and has meaning?" and he said - I certainly do Sir! I use it to drag girls into bed Sir, I'll wager a donkey tit to a silk purse that you have never had more than one at a time (*)
and I said,
oh they come in convent loads do they?
and he said .....

/// Indeed, and I notice the Mail's new policy of only showing an image if Liz Hurley if there is a 'y' in the day of the week!! ///
Oh andy you seem to have an inbuilt obsession for scouring the Mail for images of pretty young ladies scantily dressed or not.
Yes I admit to using the DM for most of my news links, but I must admit I never ogle the side bar for beautiful ladies and I can never remember seeing images of Liz Hurley in the years that I have been reading the DM news, never mind on a daily basis.
My I suggest if you have an objection towards the content of the DM, don't bother scrutinising it.
