Battlestations, Everyone!
There’s a new kiwi neo-nazi group in town, and they mean business.
From their (now deleted) website:
S.O.S was founded on January the 10th, 2006. Shores ORION (Our Race is our Nation) is a White Supremacist group for the protection and rights for the white race of New Zealand and world wide. We have two branchs, one in North Shore which is expanding authentically and one in Howick, both in Auckland.. We will stand side by side with any other white organisation inculding NZ’s National Front, Noble Maidens (White womens association for South Island) and WCOTR NZ.. Born to fight, born to Win! Born to be an NZ Skin. If you wish to contact us sign the guest book (top right of the page)and I will E-mail you. Please not that S.O.S are law abiding citizens and do not agree or take part in any ilegal activity. 14 88.
Lovely. For those who are not familiar with the locale, this Wikipedia entry may help.
And how has their completely legal campaign been going so far?
As far as we can tell, it consists of a single racist graff attack.
Maybe attack is too strong a word.
Our Auckland correspondents report:
If anyone is in Auckland they can go to Mercury Lane and see a fine example of SOS graffitti featuring ’stirring illuminations’ such as ‘88 Heil Hitler’, Shore Orion Skinheads, a swastika and other such gems in Red Vivid marker.
The graffitti is located near the corner of K.rd just 10 or so steps down from the corner on Mercury Lane. Best be quick!
And a rather bitchy critique of the art in question:
Bwahahahaha, that’s some funny shit! The Sodomizers Of Sheep strike with some witty political repartee! There are a few gems right there. A big chunky SS with “sresial servises” scrawled underneath then corrected, and SOS with Shore Orian Skins. What the hell is “Orian”? You can’t remember the acronym? Check the first post in this thread, you morons. The lettering is also very sloppy, like they had to go over it a few times. I give the marker work a 1/10, the single point earned by the fact it’s semi-legible.
Looks like it was their practice wall. Hey kids, why don’t you try practicing on some paper at school until you get the spelling and style right? You’re just embarassing yourselves. No-one seriously believes you aren’t Hitler-fetishists.
Meeeeow!!! Move over, John Ruskin!
We’ll keep you up to date on the wacky antics of these dopes as they come to hand. This sort of comic relief makes a nice break from the dreary business of psychos preparing to launch racial holy war on Adelaide and arseholes making death threats up in Queensland.
