From Stuff.co.nz: Pie in the sky?
How much do I love my country’s attitude?
THIIIIIIIIS much!
Okay, so I’m not at all groovy with the alleged stabbing.
It’s that THIS became the top news story in the country that makes me laugh a little:
An Auckland pie-lover has been arrested after allegedly stabbing his stepson in the neck.
The man approached police as they were conducting an examination at the scene in South Auckland, but when police ordered him to drop his hands, the man refused to drop his pie, 3News reported.
“It’s only a pie,” the man told police.
When police tried to lead the accused away he attempted to make a deal – the rest of the pie, which had been left on the ground, as reward for handing himself in.
It was believed the two men began fighting about 6am and both had probably been drinking, Detective Sergeant Len Leleni of Manukau police said.
A 25-year-old man had received stab injuries and defence wounds.
The victim was now recovering in Middlemore Hospital in a serious but stable condition.
His alleged attacker was this afternoon charged with wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and will appear in court tomorrow.
This isn’t the only thing to happen in the land of pies involving the New Zealand Police, either.
