On this topic...I wonder what that campaigner Cy Walsh will get.

Surely Cy couldn't possibly go into the regular jail system? I'm sure there would be plenty of Crows fans in there wanting to have a little chat with him. He wouldn't last 5 minutes.

It is honestly the kind of thing that could inspire people to murder.

There's definitely some people in some situations that consider ending a life and that the punishment is worth doing the crime when they look of some of these examples.

**** him. He murdered someone in cold blood, not to mention injuring his mum, and every leftie lawyer will be trying to get a lenient sentence with every possible excuse under the sun. Under the influence, substance abuse problems, neglected family life...

Anyhow, something lighter, cleaning out my old car today, and came across a few items that you just don't see anymore.

The TAB booklet with the smoke advertising is an instant favourite of mine, but they'd be useless without the complimentary bank matches to light them.

Don't forget the old "insanity" chestnut.

Hope Forest, The Bartholomew family - 1971

The 18-month-old nephew of Clifford Cecil Bartholomew was the last to be killed, shot through the head at point-blank range while he lay sleeping in his cot.
Bartholomew, then 40, had just shot and killed the other nine members of his family at a remote farmhouse in Hope Forest, near Willunga, in what was then Australia’s worst mass murder.
He then sat down and had a beer, before remembering his toddler nephew was still alive and reloaded his gun.
Hours before, Bartholomew had snapped. He later wrote that with the “screaming noises that was splitting my head wide open, and that horrible look on my wife’s face, I couldn’t control my actions”.
Bartholomew had become convinced his wife, 40, was having an affair with a Vietnam soldier staying at the farm. Police later determined she wasn’t.
Bartholomew had moved out, but the family had a Father’s Day dinner that night. He’d intercepted a letter from the soldier to his wife. He stormed off and came back about 1am with two rifles and a rubber mallet.
He walked into the house and hit his wife with the mallet, before shooting her. As the family was roused with the noises, he systematically shot them all - his sister-in-law, his seven children ranging in age from 19 to 4, and then his nephew.
Bartholomew made a coffee, took some aspirin, and covered the bodies with blankets. He called a local doctor and told him what he’d done.
When the police arrived that morning - one of them was legendary SA detective Allen Arthur, on one of his first major cases - he was sitting in the kitchen, with an empty Bacardi bottle beside him.
During the police interviews that followed, he told police he “had to kill all of his family”.
“Once I had shot Christine, I realised I had to kill all of them,” he said. "I loved my children that much, I couldn’t leave any of them behind.”
Detective Arthur noted the murders were “a conscious decision each time to reload and kill his family”.
"The older children, if they had survived, would have suffered severe trauma, but the little baby was so young and asleep in his cot, he could make his way in life later,” he said.
Bartholomew was sentenced to death in 1971. This was later commuted to life in jail.
He was released after just eight years - or nine months per murder.

In 1991, The Advertiser reported he was living in Adelaide under a new name and identity.

Judge should look at it and be like "call a campaigner a campaigner. Life without parole."

He was sipping bacardi like it was his burfday

My brain cannot let me fathom how he got out after 8 years??

Due to a recently discovered family connection (things that happen when middle aged women take the facebook) (grandpa was a pants man), we've recently discovered we are close relatives to this girl.

Without getting in to "guy in the internet who is connected to something and is an expert" territory, listening to the things my new aunt has to say, it definitely gives a bit of a new perspective on things. Not necessarily a good one.

I heard 25 years is length of a life sentence here in SA.

Very interesting.....

Deus Ex:HR - DC is only US$3.99 on Steam at the moment, and more importantly the original Deus Ex is only US$1.39.

Currently playing through Deus Ex:HR on PS3. Cost me $9 so now feel ripped off.

...He called a local doctor and told him what he’d done....

This part fascinates me, how many killers and murdered casually do this. There was a double murder in Cobar a while ago, where my dad lives. A bloke who lives with his parents, killed them both, then went down to the local for a drink. The bartender noticed he looked a bit off and there was blood, and asked him what's going on. He tells the barman he's just murdered his parents. The bartender slips out back to make a call to the local police.

Is "Minda" still an appropriate term to use these days? Could have fooled me.
