The intruder was charged with a low-level offence and he was convicted and discharged. But, that wasn't the end of it.

The 41-year-old man was initially charged with unlawfully being in a building and on 1 March, he appeared in the Nelson District Court before a community magistrate who convicted and discharged him.

Uhh, what the fuck? How did anyone think letting this person go was a reasonable thing to do?

    There’s a Facebook group or Telegram channel full of people who egged this guy on. Guaranteed.

    I used to lurk in a NZ Sov Cit FB group, it was completely bonkers.
