On Thursday 10 July, 2008, outspoken cannabis law reform activist Abe Gray was violently arrested by the New Zealand Police during the Radio One Market Day on the Otago University Campus (Dunedin, New Zealand) while he was running a stall for NORML as part of the Market Day. Undercover plainclothes police were also present and seven police vehicles attended the scene. The police were dispatched to arrest Gray for promoting cannabis law reform at the behest of the Otago University Administration officials who do not want free political speech to be allowed on campus.

Jul 29, 2008 - So where is the violence you claim the police used. Or is this just you people overdramatising for you cause. Idiots

Jul 29, 2008 - Id rather have no qualifications than be a dirty scruffy druggie like you lot. Uni quals mean jack shit anyway. I look forward to seeing you serve me my cheeseburger and fries after you graduate. (if you make it as its hard to finish your degree in jail )

Jul 30, 2008 - Well, also the stupid have a right to be represented in parliament...and election outcomes show every time again that there are enough of them out there
BigEarn81 Says:
Jul 30, 2008 - Here's the reason why I never did the official test...every member I met (and I know quite a few, so no need to feel special) was quite a moron in need for this ego boost. I prefer laughing about you MENSA guys deep inside, knowing that I'm better than you, with or without MENSA membership.

Jul 30, 2008 - By reading the posts is seems that NORML thinks that they are smarter and more intelligent than everyone in NZ. Shame that nearly everone is against you then. So does that make all drugies right and the rest of NZ wrong? I don;t think so. And as for 311z43 get a life and you stand infront of a car will you, please
hazie01 Says:
Jul 30, 2008 - and the MESA guy that called me a moron. Is that all you can come up with in the way of debate or conversation. you can't really be that smart then if that is all the come back you have. Does being in mensa make up for the fact that you are not well liked by everyone who has posted a comment? I bet that you were picked on at school......poor you :( I hope you are good flipping burgers....

Jul 30, 2008 - Not by me, she is an idiot. I thought they are ment to represent new zealand as a hole not a minority of criminals
hazie01 Says:
Jul 30, 2008 - I agree and well said Pround2beNZmade. how can we tell kids it not ok when our "leaders" are off on their own personal agenda. That is the down side of MMP.

311z43 Says:
Aug 1, 2008 - another one bites the dust
mctavish99 Says:
Aug 2, 2008 - Why has nobody answered the question about the police using violence as stated in the intro to this vid. Where is the police violence? Why are otagonorml telling lies ?

Sep 9, 2008 - I love how these loser, hippie assholes edit out the sound on the pieces they don't want you to hear. boo hoo police brutality, the AOS should have rolled up and pistol whipped all these dipshits. NORML should fuck off overseas if they dont like our drug laws. See how thailand or USA police force deal with their PC left wing, bleeding heart bullshit.wankers

Sep 10, 2008 - i smoke dope now and again but for fucks sake i cant stand these fucking self rightous hippie students. Just smoke the shit in your own fucking place of residence. Sitting about getting stoned in public is just not fucking cool at all, what a bout kids and shit? Its just fucking
otagonorml Says:
Sep 11, 2008 - And it's that sort of attitude that ensures that you'll be paying high prices for low quality pot. We don't try and smoke in-front of children, just like we wouldn't advocate drinking alcohol or smoking tobacco in-front of children (both of which seem to be acceptable in a public place) -- Oh, and I'm not a hippy. :)
Operaphile Says:
Sep 14, 2008 - You dumbfuck stupid hippies. Fuck off from uni and get a job suckling milk from goats and spitting it into your organic body wash with that "natural" fragrance you all have. Ooooh yeah "violently arrested"...FUCK OFF!!!! I wish upon you all a P-crazed home invasion in which you are beaten to a pulp and then see who you go running to for help!!!! The police? What a waste of fucken scarce police resources dealing with you cunts. Fuck off to Amsterdam and stop wasting our hard earned tax dolars!
otagonorml Says:
Sep 14, 2008 - Dear violent economist:Am I wasting your tax dollars? I'm so sorry. But I would gladly pay excise duty on every ounce of cannabis that I would purchase under a regulated system.I'd like to pay some money to offset the small amount of harm caused by cannabis, but also to ensure quality control and to assure safe and responsible business practices. Beaten to a pulp? Have you been drinking? Or are you just stressed out. Smoke cannabis and be calm my brother.
