There's plenty of ****wits of any race up there to be honest, the cowards that put my brother in hospital one night walking home from the pub one night years ago were white.

Get it, now?
FBF imo is a generally a good and balanced poster that has lived in Kalgoorlie, I don't have any reason to automatically think he is lying. Kal is not a big place with only a few main roads, 1 house I stayed in was about 200m from the shop where it was stolen. As for being off work mid afternoon that's hardly anything odd as a lot of people work either in shifts or start very early so get back early. As for genuine fear for safety being hyperbole, I'm not sure if you have been to Kalgoorlie but this is spot on, as I said earlier in many ways I like the place but it is genuinely dangerous especially after sun down.Get it, now?
- strung_out7 thought it was clever to make an allusion between a story of a car being stolen and the fact an indigenous kid was killed by a white guy who took the law into his own hands, which sparked protests over racist treatment. Freo Big Fella also made a weird comment (that suggests he spends too much time paying attention to angry people) about someone deserving to get their car stolen because they're racist.
- Fred asked if that comment was because there was a similar racial dynamic in this story.
- Oh, there is nothing in the article about race. You may have missed that due to the thread topic, the above comments, and/or your bias.
- strung_out7 didn't know the answer. He had just thought it was super clever to suggest that indigenous people (who have had their ancestors and culture smashed, and continue to have pockets of major issues), were hypocrites if they didn't protest everything remotely unjust.
- strung_out7 waits until someone else answers and then tries to claim his cleverness again.
- Freo Big Fella's answer is surprisingly a reveal that he was near the incident. There was no mention of that earlier. The chase was mid-afternoon, when most people are at work. Freo Big Fella refers to "the kid" without correcting, even though the car had three kids in it. Of course, that looks to me like someone who just saw a story and decided to hype it up, including odd comments and an emotionally-orientated appeal that "elderly people" and "young people" can't "feel genuinely safe". You may feel Freo Big Fella is telling the truth and took enough of an interest in the story to work out which was "the kid" who was driving, but not enough interest, to add any detail to the initial story when posting it as a short paragraph.
- Fred points out he was seeking information. You know, the thing you're meant to do. Because you are meant to care more about reality rather than caring about ideology and propaganda.
- You could've genuinely claimed that strung_out7's comment was regarding only light sentences and not the racial angle, but alas, he revealed Fred was correct in assuming it was a race-related comment when he didn't correct Fred and instead awaited a semi-confirmation that it may have been racial.
What do you mean by this?4: Ban asking the question "Are you of Aboriginal or TSI decent" on all govt forms.
Utterly baffling.Grannies hold the community together and are suffering burnout because their complaints are not acted on because subconsciously people assume they are on the side of the perpetrator.
Who or what won?
A 13-year-old boy who allegedly stole an 87-year-old woman’s car, then drove through Kalgoorlie-Boulder on a high-speed car chase with a blown tyre was charged with seven offences on Tuesday.
FBF mentioned "young people" not feeling safe. That's a very wide term and not reflected in that story, hence why I thought it was an emotionally-orientated appeal.
The chase was mid-afternoon, when most people are at work.
Utterly baffling.
As is your 'point 4'. You think crime is caused by a question on a govt form that 13 y.o. kids wouldn't have even seen? Can you get your compadres in the 'safe space' to reveal your philosophies on life - how you see the world? The prism through which you interact with the world is opaque and often perplexing.
Or strung out didn't bother replying as it was a certainty the perpetrator was from that background, especially being in rural WA. While at the same time Fred wanted to play the race card, as the article didn't stipulate the culprit, as is the case in underage criminality, which has now back fired?Get it, now?

I point he has now confirmed by claiming "Or strung out didn't bother replying as it was a certainty the perpetrator was from that background, especially being in rural WA". Obviously he both doesn't understand what a "certainty" is and doesn't get out much from "perth", which is his alleged location.You could've genuinely claimed that strung_out7's comment was regarding only light sentences and not the racial angle, but alas, he revealed Fred was correct in assuming it was a race-related comment when he didn't correct Fred and instead awaited a semi-confirmation that it may have been racial.
So you are from Northern Africa then yeah? Is this how it works?I point he has now confirmed by claiming "Or strung out didn't bother replying as it was a certainty the perpetrator was from that background, especially being in rural WA".

I mean, jeezus. You know there are aboriginal muslims, right? Are they doubly evil?
I have been to Kalgoorlie. As with most place that are called 'dangerous', the actual chances of running into something dangerous remain very low. There are exceptions to that rule, but Kalgoorlie isn't one of them. The comment on hyperbole was because a story about a woman having her purse and car stolen was caused by kids. FBF mentioned "young people" not feeling safe. That's a very wide term and not reflected in that story, hence why I thought it was an emotionally-orientated appeal. A different way of saying "won't somebody think of the children!!!"
FYI - I don't actually consider the town dangerous; I love living here.
But I also understand why people are increasingly nervous - I can shrug off being harassed/abused for money outside Woolworths, it's a more challenging prospect for a mum with the kids in tow.
So you wouldn't mind a few white hand prints on your windows?You have a very low threshold for vandalism. They didn't smash windows or anything. Sounds quite poignant.
Not particularly, but I see Parliamemt House as pretty fair game in terms of protest. And as I say, it didn't destroy anything, the windows can be cleaned.So you wouldn't mind a few white hand prints on your windows?
What if I saw your house as fair game?Not particularly, but I see Parliamemt House as pretty fair game in terms of protest. And as I say, it didn't destroy anything, the windows can be cleaned.
Who needs facts when you can write your own narrative?Good to know facts don't matter when you're protesting.
