As regular readers know, we are all for improved passenger train services and have posted several articles in support of them since early 2015 when the Capital Connection was under threat. But this type of thing is only going to result in these people being lumped in with ‘extinction rebellion’ and other lunatic fringe groups.
the wrong way for commuter rail supporters to behave

Well blocking the roads and making 1000s of people wait will surely make everybody see the point of view of the dozen sat on their arses on the tarmac. Why wouldn’t it?
Fine them all 5000 bucks or 6 moths jail, or both
Jail them for 6 months and make them eat 5000 moths as food.
That is around 27.5 moths a day. If they are big fat ones, they should survive on that diet.
Presumably the rabble were carrying mobile phones to co-ordinate the disruption but were too thick to realise it takes fossil fuel to make the anti-social gadgets.
I’ve seen footage of a motorist who got out of his car and drove off one of the rabble’s hired vans to free up a lane; the dimbulbs didn’t even remove the keys from the van. Perhaps the hire company won’t be taking a risk in the future with that crowd.
I also heard from people driving into Wellington that Kapiti Road and the section of the highway from Paraparaumu to Transmission Gully had an inordinate amount of police cruising around. Maybe they had orders to be anywhere but where the rabble were so as to have the excuse there were occupied elsewhere.
I wonder who paid for the hired vans?
