Remembering the Aramoana massacre - 13 November 1990

[@tecumsehtm]

I still vividly remember Stu's last words over the police radio that were played once on TV at the time, then never released again. "He has a rifle with a large magazine and telescopic sight. I repeat, a large magazine and tele sight". Then you heard him yell David's name, in a calm voice like a dad yelling at a naughty kid, and told him to drop the gun. Then the shots.

Most shocking day in New Zealand history, respect to the fallen. A lot of people complain about the police but here is a great example of the great work they do and most recently the Christchurch shooting, New Zealand has one the the better police forces in the world.

I remember. We were numb. I think the whole nation was. But at least we learned, like not firing a warning shot, but one that will stop the threat, when faced with an armed killer.

Kind of feel sorry for David Gray, I know in some small towns gossip spreads easily and if you are on the wrong end, communities take a disliking to you, I can see how something like the Aramoana disaster can easily make a person bitter .Sometimes we look at the police as heroes and the families of this town as victims but I wonder who the real victim is, media portrays what it wants us to hear or see ,could this have been a town that hated David's presence. Rest in peace David ,only you will know the pain you went through,
