The wee blond thing Ruth Carr who fronts for top Kiwi band Minuit should become a new urban hero.
While quietly biding her time with a coffee prior to the Band Together concert in Christchurch - she spied a group of skinheads complete with banner extolling their creed . Carr gave them some shit for being losers. And things got a bit nasty, as it would. Skinheads are the ultimate losers. They have no real purpose in life but to hate. They gorge on it.
So Carr was shaken up by the incident but not so much it seems by their reaction but more by the fact that people of their ilk could wander the street spreading their own brand of fear and loathing with impunity.
It seems they were followed by police. But there is no way that they should have been allowed into the concert.
Good on Carr. More people should follow her brave stance and voice their disgust at these low life.
Christchurch with its conservative backbone and mainland stoicism is a wonderful city but it has a putrid white underbelly and the skinheads are nothing but the fleas that suck on it.
