TAURANGA -- Bottle throwing by drunken youths in
Tauranga last weekend has led to a call to bring
in the army if things get out of hand on New Year's
Eve.

Councillor Len Bailey says he wants to include
soldiers in options open to authorities to keep
a lid on celebrations.

Well, guess they were desperate to find a way to bring in the Army for Y2k.

Youths throwing bottles. Wow, we better use the Army to take care of this!.

I bet our government is looking for something, anything so they can do the same.

That seems a bit rash and hysterical. Wow, talk about finding an excuse for soldiers!
