Human rights lawyer and disabled person Dr Huhana Hickey (Ngāti Tāhinga, Whakatōhea) worries it risks ruining a necessary conversation about hate speech in New Zealand. Make your statements, keep them professional and do the job . they re not doing that, they re just start the conversation, get into a bit of a bug hole and then they end up in this big problem where they don t know how to explain it and so they disappear. And that s not a good sign for any politician of any party. People get that as meaning to say he s afraid, he s running away, or they don t want to engage, they just want to stop free speech and that s when all the rumours start, all the toxic conversations start.

DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. The man accused in a DeKalb County grocery store shooting where a cashier was killed has a history of prior arrests.
In 2012, DeKalb County court records show Victor Lee Tucker Jr. was ordered to take six anger management classes related to a misdemeanor charge for battery.
Now the GBI confirms that Monday afternoon at the Big Bear grocery store in south DeKalb County, Tucker “got into an argument with a cashier about his facemask,” when he was asked to pull up his mask.
