Magpies In Double Danger

Armed Offenders could have killed innocent magpies.

The Darwin Road resident, who has a firearms licence, had been firing at magpies on Thursday night when some shots struck the roof of a neighbouring house, The Gisborne Herald reported.

The concerned occupant called police and the AOS responded, cordoning off Darwin Road.

Between the AOS and the gunman it is a miracle that more innocent magpie were not killed.

TVNZ crew have set up camp outside the home of the Magpie family and will remain there until the funeral.

When asked for comment, a family spokesperson requested that the camera crew "get out of our street or we will crap in Wendy Petrie's perfectly groomed hair".

Local Iwi, Pita Sharples of the Maori Party, Michael Jones, Inga Tuigamala, David Tua, Neil Thimbleby, the entire Tremain family and Craig Foss have all visited the distraught Magpies to pass on their condolences.

Dave Dobbyn is planning to attend the funeral and play the victim's favourite song Hanging in the Wire.

My friend will be gunning for the pesky magpies around our place. He will use a .22 with a silencer. He will carefully consider the overshoot problem of any possible misses. Just very basic sensible pest eradication.

Dave Dobbyn will probably go away and write a one-size-fits-all funeral song that he can be wheeled out to play whenever a New Zealander dies in a high-profile manner.
