Nightmarish violence at Dreamtime at the G

[Senor M]

Bloke arrested was a performer at the game.

Explains why the story was buried by the afl media, that's pretty bad PR for Sir Doug Nicholls round

The weapon of choice was a Didgeridoo. How else did we expect one to end up at the MCG?

Jeez that reporter is a proper campaigner isn't she. "Why are you being arrested? Are you embarrassed?"

I don't remember camera crews filming the QC's kids and berating them when they were being lead into custody...

 

[theyellowsash]

That’s awfully savage footage. Ethnicity/social origin does not and should not mitigate the response that should follow.

now that its revealed that hes aboriginal, hopefully he wont be treated differently to anyone else while in custody (ie murdered)

yeah but theyre not poor and/or black

It has always gone on, but everything is video. I saw some horrendous bashings as a young bloke growing up in the Melb. suburbs.

Did they steal their sneakers? That machete attacker in Lygon St seemed to have the victims sneakers.

Channel nine showed footage of said person performing before the game which they showed on 4pm news and was tweeted by nine news but quickly deleted

Disgusting stuff

Can see alcohol being banned at the G eventually, which would be a shame.

If only bogan numbnuts who can’t handle their alcohol would make the wise choice to stick with Cola or water…

You only get hand strength at the G anyway don’t you?

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Have you seen the people working the gates/security?

Its laughable.

Marvel is even worse. If you time it correctly you can bypass the bag check and metal detection completely.

Marvel the wanding is meant to be random.

I do. A quick google search throws up multiple examples such as those below. They well and truly copped it every time they fronted court and rightly so. Media even went after dear old dad who bankrolled the defence. When it comes to asking dumb questions the media don’t discriminate.

Sons of prominent barrister may avoid jail over post-football bashing

The crack legal team that arranged a QC sons' plea deal

 

[Hungdaddy]

Outrageous that the bloke has already been bailed, but that's Melbourne for you.

The more you look at that video the worse it looks, knocked out by the weapon then the perp's two mates loading up with a coward punch each knocking the guy out again. Really ugly sh#t which ever way you spin it.

 

[Freomaniac]

Wth I defended you by saying some of your supporters are not lowlife pondscum. Ungrateful.

A didgeridoo is a musical instrument.

I don't mind it being used as a political weapon but not an actual physical weapon

What I meant was I don't remember them being filmed outside of their house whilst being arrested, maybe they turned themselves, i honestly don't recall.
Maybe I'm wrong on that though.

Wrong on most things

That's fine, you've never been right about anything.

So 20 people (out of a crowd of 70k) were ejected for other antisocial behaviours.

Or 0.00028% of the crowd.

That happens multiple times a weekend across multiple events (sporting, concerts, night clubs, etc.) No news story here.

Scott Steiner mathematics mate lol

Wrong again.

Will be the most underrated call on the whole thread!

It was doomed from the start, they forgot to add Kurt Angle to the mix.

Never really gravitated to drinking at the footy. But it'd suck to see bans, punishing the majority of the well behaved patrons cos of the small handful of idiots. Fair to say said idiots who are full of piss and vinegar are more often than not looking to start trouble to stroke their egos regardless of whether they're drinking or not.

Because every indigenous person in custody is both innocent, and murdered...

He bashed a guy over the head champ, but glad to see you're white knighting for him already

Never said i think what he did was ok. The other guy wanted him to be treated as a white person by the authorities, as if he'd get treated easily for being non white. Just pointing out that would be an upgrade for an aboriginal person.

You're so full of it.

My cousin was stabbed to death by an indigenous kid and he's been walking around society free for two years now.

How easy is that treatment?
