Banter 2021 Off-Topic Chat Thread - PART II

The guy’s a complete moron being at the protest but I don’t think he hit the horse. Looked to try fend it away to me. Twitter are going nuts persecuting this bloke a bit unfairly. Unless there is other footage that shows the contrary.

Ditto their counterparts in Melbourne.

Can’t put my finger on why, but I’m finding it hard to give him the benefit of the doubt here.

Yes, I find it hard to defend a complete and utter fwit.

Seems to be not just 1 fwit, but 2

no "wild" cases in Vic today

Cops not long posted that the horse is ok. Good news.

Imagine being so intellectually stunted that you've got to punch a horse to express your childish anger.

There’s no punching of horse in any of the videos I can see unless a fend or touch is considered such. The bigger issue surely is not wearing mask etc.

best thing to do is just vaccinate each of them. Reduce the fine or sentence if they’ve got a vax.

Yep he has given it a bigger flogging than Tiger Moth by McEvoy in last years cup.

This will be about as successful as Hawkins at the tribunal facing a jumper punch charge.

I'm unsure but isn't assaulting a police dog or horse the same penalties as attacking a police officer?

They've arrested 2 guys now I believe for hitting the horse/s, so will be interesting to see what evidence they present.

On another level, I just don't understand the 'thought' process behind the protesters actions, or even their presence to begin with.

Not sure but it wouldn’t surprise.

Thought this was going to have a different ending

Olympics can be a tough time for birds.

Since there's (so far) no video evidence, the 2 coppers who grabbed him will swear their souls away.
He's stuffed.

But the protesters have surely spread it! We gotta lock down for another week.

Don't know about NSW Law, but Federal Law is potentially ferocious - up to 10 years in the slot from memory.

Just won our first medal - a bronze in the men's 400m individual medley. He was coming 2nd last before the freestyle leg, but stormed home.

Followed by a silver in 400m freestyle mens. Tracking in right direction. Hopefully same as cats. 3rd, 2nd & gold this year!

Ah, so that's what the Tunisian national anthem sounds like.

I was surprised that it wasn't Tunisia's first gold in the pool

And then a little disappointed that their national anthem wasn't influenced by Star Wars

Fair effort though. Tunisia only has one swimmer at the Games, and he ended up winning gold.

As I say this, our 4x100m women's relay team just won gold and smashed the world record! Go Aussies!

 

[year of the cat]

Women’s 4x100m free are phenomenal

Wish 7+ had the same viewing options as Kayo and you could watch more than one Olympic event at once.
