The headline for this story should read-

Racist Official Hoist With Own Petard

However, the officer in charge of Auckland motorways, Inspector
Dave Walker, said yesterday police had facilitated the hikoi
last April as a matter of "keeping the peace" in order to avoid
an invasion of the carriageway.

Police did not expect Destiny Church followers to put their
lives and the lives of others at risk by unauthorised walking
over the bridge and there was time for march organisers to
develop an alternative route, Mr Walker said.

"For 'tis the sport to have the enginer / Hoist with his owne
petar" -- Shakespeare, Hamlet III iv. "Hoist" was in
Shakespeare's time the past participles of a verb "to hoise",
which meant what "to hoist" does now: to lift. A petard (see
under "peter out" for the etymology) was an explosive charge
detonated by a slowly burning fuse. If the petard went off
prematurely, then the sapper (military engineer; Shakespeare's
"enginer") who planted it would be hurled into the air by the
explosion. (Compare "up" in "to blow up".) A modern rendition
might be: "It's fun to see the engineer blown up with his own
bomb."

miserable, as all spoiled children are, unsatisfied, demanding,
ill-disciplined, despotic and useless. Liberalism is a
