But I LIKE living here in the Trailer Trash Park down-wind from the Greater Metropolitan Sydney Municipal City Dump. It's an exotic location and a tourist destination where coach-loads of Japanese tourists come to click their cameras as proof that not everyone in Australia is riding high on the hog and the streets are paved with gold.

What a silly uninformed thing to say.

The car jackings & home invasions are in the best suburbs.
The thieves want BMWs & other luxury cars.

*SIGH*, while wealth may protect you, it also attracts those "lower socio-economic filth" to your address, as it is obvious you have more to be stolen.

I find your characterisation of your fellow citizens as "filth", rather interesting.   It indicates your attitude towards them leaves a great deal to be desired...

You will be arrested and charged - correct?

You will be forced to pay out of your own pocked your defence team - correct

You will need to "prove" to a legal standard that you "feared for your life or the lives of others" - correct


That is exactly what I fkken said genius.


And I would love to read the extract where the home owner had enough time to collect his weapon from the secured locker, assemble weapon (replace the bolt), open a separate secured container for the ammo, load it and legally 'protect' himself before the intruders got to him.

So yeah I would love to see or hear how that all happened, because it sounds like a load of sh1t to me or it happened before 1997.

THE Toyota HiLux has topped Australia’s most wanted list among car criminals — and 40 per cent of those stolen are never found.
While car theft across Australia is the lowest since records were kept in the 1970s — and has been cut by two thirds from a peak of 142,000 in 2001 to 52,000 in the past 12 months — the rate of HiLux thefts is rising.
The number of HiLuxes stolen in the past 12 months is 10 per cent higher than it was the previous year — but the number of professional HiLux thefts is increasing at a greater rate, up 28 per cent.

Never visited a prison, BigOl64?  I have.  Never met a sorrier mob of people in my life.  Even the so-called "vicious" ones.  I had a girlfriend once who was a criminologist.  She took me along on one of her visits ones.   Most interesting.  No hugging but I did shake hands with a mass murderer.   I didn't care how they were, I just was interested to see what interested my girlfriend.

Tsk, tsk, tsk resorting to demeaning me now is it.   


I do believe you stated you were a 'blanket counter' in the army, where as my trade was armourer, so let's not whip out the ruler too quickly there, champ.



Not bad being able to assemble a stripped down SLR:

1. Spring onto piston, piston into gas tube, gas plug locked into position, notch uppermost

2. Spring onto firing pin, firing pin into bolt, retainer into bolt & secure

3. Bolt into carrier, carrier into weapon, dust cover into weapon

4. Close weapon, careful not to catch 'rats tail'

5. Load magazine, fit magazine

6. Cock weapon, selector onto fire.


All in 15 seconds



If you don't have the evidence to back up your claim just say so and be done with it.
