New Zealand Is Home to Both Hobbits and Gangsters

New Zealand is of course more “Lord of the Rings” than “The Godfather” or “Goodfellas.” However, the country isn’t only home to the Hobbits, but to quite a number of gangs as well. The Mighty Mongrel Mob is perhaps the most prolific among these; and photographer Jono Rotman got an exclusive look at the gang, as he was allowed to take pictures of some of its members. It’s unknown what the photographer offered in exchange for these images, but let’s hope he’ll be okay after all of this (on a serious note, all he said to them was that he wanted “martial portraits”). The only thing that’s certain is the fact that Frodo never faced anything as menacing as the Mighty Mongrel Mob.
