| 872387 | 2010-04-03 04:14:00 | If the police called a local maori to bless the house, they shouldn't have: www.nzherald.co.nz Don't you guys think the police should not do religious things while on the job? Because there are lots of religions and doing a blessing in 1 religion means they are not doing the blessing in Other religions. EG: Christian blessing and not doing jewish,catholic blessing etc. |

| 872389 | 2010-04-03 04:54:00 | Who gives a toss? Religion is all hypocrisy. Anyway, by getting the maori blessing they have condemned themselves to hell by breaching the First Commandment. It's a cultural thing though dawg. I'm sure there'd be public outrage if it was an islamic blessing. [I did not read the article.] |

| 872390 | 2010-04-03 04:56:00 | You would expect the police to be impartial, but these days even the police are not allowed to criticise anything that (the poor underprivileged) maori do.:illogical | Roscoe (6288) | ||
| 872391 | 2010-04-03 05:35:00 | Lance4k.....I would suggest a couple of things. First, read the article before saying anything. Two, read/learn up a little on which ever culture is involved, in this case, Maori. The news media article doesn't mention that the police called in anyone to bless the house. It is most likely that a member of the family or wider Maori community called for someone to come to the house to perform a blessing. Not uncommon. And other groups also perform blessings after a tragic event / death in various ways. Ever been involved in a blessing yourself.........one day you might be involved in something and your employer may ask (require) you to attend such a blessing, you could of course refuse but I guess the fallout might not be that good for you. |

| 872393 | 2010-04-03 22:15:00 | As I understand it, the cops may have to call in Maori elders to bless certian sites at times. IIRC the stanmore road shooting had to be blessed before they could remove the body. | ubergeek85 (131) | ||
