Asians are Killed Like Flies in New Zealand
Stay Alive; Don't Go New Zealand!
The Asian Victim of car murder was named as Mrs Joanne Wang, who lived in Auckland, New Zealand. Her 8-year-old boy watched her die. "She was lying totally lifeless, there was blood gushing out of her ear pretty profusely." A witness said.
The Driver Smashed His 4×4 Into Her, Then Backed Up and Drove Over Her
A 39-year-old Asian woman, presumed to be Korean or Japanese, was murdered in Auckland as her assailant who snatched her handbag knocked her down with his 4WD and drove over her.
The Asian victim suffered serious head injuries and died about an hour later.
The other two Asians who were murdered in New Zealand last week were Mr Navtej Singh, 30, an Indian shopkeeper who was shot to death in his Auckland shop, and Mrs Yin Ping Yang, an 80-year-old Chinese woman who was viciously attacked and fatally injured in her home.

New Zealand Police: "Tourists Lucky To Be Alive!"
Mr Wolfie to the Next Busload of Tourists: Hello Lunch! Do You Feel Lucky Today?
Two separate tourist buses, one carrying Japanese tourists and the other Chinese, crashed in less than 24 hours in New Zealand.
In the first incident which occurred Saturday near Matamata, New Zealand, at least 7 Japanese tourists were treated for injuries.
The second tourist bus crashed and rolled down a bank, with the bus ending up on its side on Sunday. At least 8 Chinese tourists required hospital treatment for their injuries.
Police spokesman said the crash could have been a lot worse and the tourists were lucky to be alive! [They don't normally survive the 'mandatory' crash!]

Tourist Bus In Waikato Crash
When is an "accident" not an accident?
In all probability, as with the rental cars in New Zealand, the buses are NOT properly maintained or serviced. It doesn't take much for a poorly maintained car, bus, quad bike, ski jet, airplane … to go out of control.
