Well, hi, welcome to all our readers here in New Zealand & around the world, I'm Whetu Ngapo & you're tuning into my Kiwiavenger blog (And happy Easter everyone to all of our loyal followers during the Easter weekend which begins on Good Friday today, then Easter Sunday 2 days later to wrap it up) but first in the news that there has been tragic events unfolded over the last 2 months such as a mentally-ill person who is a 50 year old doctor from Saudi Arabia who is expected to face charges for plowing over the crowd with a motor vehicle which resulted in hundreds of people suffering injuries that lasted about 3 minutes, with 40 seriously injured as well as a young child & 4 others is among the deceased last month during a Christmas market in Germany, then something dreadful has happened in Nelson in New Zealand such a police officer passed away with injuries after being run over by a car driven by that also senseless driver who is expected to appear in court on the 3rd of January which was 'completely unprovoked' as well as 'A cowardly attack', & the most tragic stuff had occurred when another vehicle ran over a crowd which was deemed to be a hostile, deliberate, blatant but malicious terrorist act (In which a person formerly from the Army (Whose life as a civilian had been dreadful), who acted alone as a attack that deemed to be a reckless act of terrorism in which the United States had been on high alert, took place when the vehicle plowed onto the crowd which resulted 15 casualties at high speed as the flag of ISIS was found in the perpetrator's utility vehicle in which cops shot him dead who is fully committed to ISIS for his actions) during New Year's celebrations in New Orleans prompting that the stepped up security measures must be upped following that unfortunate incident before the Sugar Bowl college gridiron match between Georgia & Notre Dame being staged at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome which is due to host Superbowl LIX which takes centre stage in February with security personnel (Whose numbers have been doubled, but is expected to remain that way when Washington DC takes center stage at Inauguration Day of the US President elect Donald Trump as extra security is being mobilized & dispatched all over the city in the nation's capital, even though with security are expected to be tight at the 3 upcoming events scheduled such as the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans, the inauguration of US President-elect Donald Trump in Washington DC, & Superbowl LIX also in New Orleans in the US) being sent by giving orders to protect the New Orleans venue & the city at all times, but this madness needs to stop! Because I'm getting sick of this criminals in vehicles used as a weapon to run over pedestrians (And the war on vehicle ramming attacks in which cars as being used as weapon has begun with those 3 separate incidents such as the Christmas market in Germany last month which was last year, then in Nelson, New Zealand that a female cop had been struck during a New Year's celebration while another officer had been wounded, & now the most tragic events unfolded during a New Year's celebration in New Orleans, Louisiana which was the most disastrous event to be staged since Hurricane Katrina in late August 2005) because I'm getting fed up over the last 3 incidents which turned into horrific scenes that was marred by tragedy which is potentially shocking (And it is reminiscent to Trump surviving an assassination attempt last year from a stupid scumbag named Thomas Crooks (The one that got shot dead by the US President's security marksmen) who opened fire towards a Trump supporter, murdering him instantly with the former US President surviving that fatal shooting during a Republican campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania (And in the aftermath of the near assassination attempt by Crooks that there they granted a security boost to protect the families of Donald Trump & their close associates to him as well as his businesses like Trump Tower International & Trump's official residence of Mar-el-Lago in the American state of Florida), although the New Orleans vehicle attack was the first recorded incident in the United States this year, & the first since the murder which was believed to be an act of terrorism of UnitedHealthcare Chief Executive Officer, Brian Thompson in December last year who had been receiving threats relating to medical "coverage", according to his widow), so all hearts, but also thoughts, prayers & condolences go to the victims of that senseless idiots who will be sent to the slammer as well as the New Orleans suspect getting murdered by police for their crimes being committed in which the beginning of this year, was marred by one of the most horrific scenes they have ever seen in the United States, in recent memory in which a suspected driver got killed during a police shooting/shootout being engaged after taking the pedestrians out of commission by ploughing them over with a vehicle that drove into crowds in a vehicle-ramming attack that has been trending lately, which was shades of both separate incidents in Nelson, New Zealand & in Magdeburg in Germany (And also that a Tesla Cybertruck had been exploded when the bomb had been set off at Trump Tower in Las Vegas in the aftermath of a driver who took his own life with a self-inflicted GSW to the head which is dreadful stuff that has happened, & it's not the way to begin the new year with multiple, deadliest incidents ever recorded in a headline that just says: NEW YEAR, TRAGIC START which has had a somber tone (And there was a pair of shootings happened in both New York (In which a suspected gunmen opened fire for which I thought was a gang related shooting, wounding 10 people including children in a mass drive-by shooting outside at a nightclub called Amazura in Queens, New York in which there will be a clamp down for those senseless shootings according to New York state senator Gustavo Rivera) & in Montenegro (In which 12 including children had been murdered by that senseless gunman who committed suicide to avoid possibly being captured by authorities in a small town with calls from the Montenegrin government saying that gun laws needed to be changed in light of the Christchurch mosque massacre (Which is the worst tragic shootings in our country since Aramoana in 1990) in New Zealand back in 2019 which was inspired by the tragic Port Arthur mass shootings in Australia long ago in 1996 (Same year as the Dunblane massacre in Scotland in the UK that had to take place which was shocking) as well as the 2011 Norway attacks that took place in both Oslo & Utoya, & the ones in America such as Columbine also way, way back in 1999, Virginia Tech way back in 2007 & Newtown back in 2012 which resulted in tragedies related to gun violence that crippled the nation asking for gun control reforms to be made & handed out) that resulted casualties), as well as the war in Gaza between Israeli & Hamas fighters when Israeli airstrikes resulted in 19 Palestinians getting murdered on New Year's Day (And I have revealed that I'm an anti-war activist because of the 2 dreadful wars in both that terrible invasion that has been going since 2022 & in Gaza between Israel & Hamas forces since I'm both pro-left wing & pro-Liberal supporter, & I'm like Carole because of the situations being currently unfolded according to the previous blog that I did in which the Israelis (Who are like bullies for some reason according to Pops) currently invading Gaza for what looks to be a deliberate but atrocious act as I told Pops about it on the 14th of January), & also that there was an incident in Germany which resulted 5 people killed by fireworks as well as dozens of emergency workers wounded while 400 of them had been brought into justice following a New Year's Eve chaos which were also marred by tragic accidents & riots in several cities).
And secondly that Carole has returned to New Zealand as of the 2nd of January since I last saw her in December 8th last year, so it is great to have her back after being away from home when she went on an expedition to the UAE such as places in either Abu Dhabi or Dubai (And me, Pops & Carole went to Rutland on the 2nd of January to celebrate Carole's return & the New Year in which I had a pasta over there for my big lunch & it was quite nice I have to say, but I saw Dad visiting at our place, but my main Christmas present of the Rugby Challenge 4 PS4 game still hasn't arrived that Dad purchased it on Mighty Ape for me where it cost about $172 (That's over $100, but it must've been popular on demand since it's not available here in NZ), so he sent an enquiry of how much days will it be arriving, but I fear that it might not make it to our country, (And we'll have to wait & see about the situation being unfolded).
And thirdly such as South Korea is in mourning as 179 people (175 passengers & 2 crew) have been killed on a plane flying from Bangkok in Thailand in the worst domestic civil aviation disaster in 27 years so all thoughts, prayers & sincerest heartfelt condolences got to the people of South Korea & Thailand, as well as the family of the victims who lost their tragic lives, but there were just both crew managed to survive the plane wreck after they collided with a wall & bursting into flames at Muan International Airport (And police have raided the offices of Jeju Air & the airport after the tragedy had struck as they conducted search & seizure operations there by pressing charges of professional negligence resulting in death).
And finally in other news reports such as the West Bank is shutting down Al Jazeera just like Israel is cracking down on Aljazeera reporters from providing the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, in that country about the conflict being spread in that area due to a legislation that bars/suspends the Qatari news outlet from providing coverage over there.
So that is my 591st blog of the year 2025 (MMXXV) & my 15th of this year, viva Ukraine & Palestine.
P.S. And the music & political world is in mourning as both famous country music singer & actor Kris Kristofferson (The star of the Blade movies), & the former US president Jimmy Carter (Who was the 39th President of the United States) who both passed away (Kristofferson in September last year, & Jimmy Carter late last month also last year) so all thoughts, prayers & heartfelt condolences go to both of them during this most sad & difficult time, may you rest in peace (RIP).
Kris Kristofferson
1936 - 2024
& Jimmy Carter
1924 - 2024
