As for the people in your post imagine their dilemma. Living in fear of roving gangs, bombings , shootings the feeling of never being safe and always on edge, living in a war zone probably seems quite tame compared to Lower Hutt -

<p>some fucking dirtbags called in hoax bomb threats to a bunch of schools across North Queensland yesterday.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It took approximately .5 of a second for the first "This is what you get when you allow undesirables in to the country" posts to start on Facebook (not people i know, but you see them if you look at the "trending" screens). The anti-immigration and "attack on our way of life" retards were out in force. </p> -

<blockquote class="ipsBlockquote">A RUSSIAN hacker group claims it is responsible for a series of hoax bomb threats to dozens of schools around the world.
<p> </p>
<p>Evacuation Squad, a pro-Putin cyber group, says it made the phone calls that caused major disruption at schools in New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria over the past few days as well as the UK, Hawaii, Paris, Japan, the US and Guam over the past few weeks.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It is understood some of the phone calls featured an electronic voice message, however it is not clear if all schools received an electronic message.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The hackers have now warned they intend to carry out more bomb threats over the coming days.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Spokesman Viktor Olyavich said the group carried out the threats in Australia because they were “funny†and highlighted that Europe would be next.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“Yes, we are responsible for Monday’s threats,†Olyavich, told <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://mashable.com/2016/02/01/school-bomb-threats/#Bbc7rGUTRiqo'>Mashable Australia</a>. <strong>“We do these threats because they are funny to us.</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>“We are preparing to do schools across Europe as we speak. We don’t worry about the consequences, because our main threat-makers are based in Russia and Iran.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“We are doing so many at once due to a stolen VOIP account that has a trove of calling credit.â€</p>
<p> </p>
<p>According to reports, Evacuation Squad posted a note to the Pastebin website offering to call in bomb threats at schools, businesses and sport grounds in exchange for $5 to $20 Bitcoin payments.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Despite requesting a form of payment, Olyavich said their current campaign was being done for free.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“We are not charging for Bitcoin just yet,†he told Mashable. “Our threats are free of charge until March 2016.â€</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Since claiming responsibility for the hoax calls via social media, the group’s Twitter handles @Ev4cuati0nSquad and @SwatTheW0rld have been suspended.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But before they were taken offline, the group used the hashtags #SWATTED and #SwatTheWorld in reference to a type of hoax known as “swatting†in the US, where emergency services are deliberately duped into deploying armed units or bomb squads, The Independent reported.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>According to the UK paper, the “Evacuators 2K16†account, which has since been suspended, also announced its support for Bashar al-Assad’s Syrian regime and claimed it was controlled by “six individuals based internationallyâ€.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Another tweet read: “Want to get out of school for a day? Want to divert the police away from a crime you’re going to commit? Email us.â€</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A statement from NSW Police said the recent threats were “clearly a pattern of hoax calls designed to cause disruption and attract media attentionâ€.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“There is no evidence these are anything other than hoaxes designed to cause unnecessary disruption and inconvenience,†the statement said. “The threats appear to come from overseas with no credible evidence they could be carried out here.â€</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Since Friday, there have been four rounds of multiple phone threats made against scores of primary and secondary schools in NSW, Victoria and Queensland.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nick O’Brien, the associate professor of counter-terrorism at Charles Sturt University, <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/parenting/school-life/whats-behind-the-wave-of-hoax-school-bomb-threats/news-story/3b5dde7a64a66910b38f7fa2cefb4ac5'>told news.com.au</a> the aim of their game was disruption and spreading fear.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“If you took a major sporting event, if someone calls with a bomb threat, authorities have to make a decision if they evacuate the event or let it go on,†Professor O’Brien said.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The obvious danger was if they did nothing — and there was a bomb — lives could be lost.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“The fact is though terrorists very rarely forewarn of any attacks. The IRA [used to], but they did that purely for disruptive reasons.â€</p>
<p> </p>
<p>These days such a tactic is rarely used.</p>

The other place that let ppl in was Canada. One of my best friends came from there as a baby with her parents and basically nothing else, settled in Toronto. Her Dad is a gun businessman and set himself up in Canada, smashed it, and 30 years later is worth about $100m, runs an international company that employs thousands.</p> -

<p style="color:rgb(32,32,34);font-family:Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:17px;"> </p>
<p style="color:rgb(32,32,34);font-family:Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:17px;"><strong>BERLIN </strong>- Most of the suspects identified in connection with a series of robberies and <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.cbsnews.com/news/germany-rattled-by-new-years-eve-sex-assaults-by-arab-men/'>sexual assaults in Cologne during New Year's celebrations</a> are refugees, prosecutors said Monday.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(32,32,34);font-family:Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:17px;">The crimes, described as unprecedented by authorities, sparked uproar in Germany and a heated debate about the country's ability to integrate almost 1.1 million people who sought asylum there last year.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(32,32,34);font-family:Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:17px;">The incident has led to both a political and a personal backlash against the mostly Middle Eastern and North African asylum seekers that flooded the country last year.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(32,32,34);font-family:Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:17px;">Numerous <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.cbsnews.com/news/germany-migrants-attacked-refugees-sexual-assaults-cologne/'>migrants reported being attacked</a> themselves randomly in the wake of the Cologne assaults, and Chancellor Angela Merkel's soaring popularity <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-01-15/merkel-s-popularity-drops-to-four-year-low-after-cologne-attacks'>took a major nosedive</a> afterwards.

A total of 1,075 criminal complaints have been filed, including 467 alleging crimes of a sexual nature ranging from insults to rape.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(32,32,34);font-family:Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:17px;">"The overwhelming majority of persons fall into the general category of refugees," Bremer told The Associated Press, saying recent reports describing only three of the suspects as refugees were "total nonsense."</p>
<p style="color:rgb(32,32,34);font-family:Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:17px;">Initially, authorities in Cologne were accused of downplaying the fact that the attackers included many asylum-seekers because of the political sensitivity of the issue.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(32,32,34);font-family:Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:17px;">The suspects included 30 Moroccan nationals, 27 Algerians, four Iraqis, three Germans, three Syrians, three Tunisians, and one each from Libya, Iran and Montenegro, Bremer said.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(32,32,34);font-family:Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:17px;">"They have various legal statuses, including illegal entry, asylum-seekers and asylum applicants," he said of the foreign suspects. "That covers the overwhelming majority of suspects."</p>
<p style="color:rgb(32,32,34);font-family:Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:17px;">Twelve of the 73 suspects are linked to sexual crimes, though only one of those - a Moroccan asylum-seeker who entered Germany in November - is in custody, he said.</p> -
