Fake news from the leftist Sydney Morning Herald on hunters.

Australian firefighters shot at by men with scoped rifles in hours-long ordeal in US

Two men set up a rifle with a telescopic lens before firing on two Australian firefighters and two US Forest Service personnel patrolling in remote Washington state near the White Pass ski area, according to staggering new details contained in a debrief note prepared about the incident.

As the old military sniper saying goes- If you heard it I wasn't aiming for you.
The projectiles travel faster than the speed of sound with rifles.

No, Hunters Did Not Open Fire on Australian Firefighters In Washington State

An Australian newspaper is reporting that hunters shot at two firefighters from down under while they were battling the Miriam Fire near White Pass, Washington, but law enforcement has debunked the claim.

According to a story in the Sydney Morning Herald, the shooting resulted in two arrests and drew attention from Australia’s Foreign Affairs Department and the FBI. Yakima County Sheriff's office Spokesman Casey Schilperoort says none of it is true.

Leftists and the Ayatollahs have a lot in common when it comes to criticism of Islam, they don't tolerate it.

IUt would suck if the SMH didn't offer a correction on the story right Baron?

In a time of universal deceit — telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

No evidence whatsoever it can be attributed to George Orwell or Eric Arthur Blair (in fact the same guy)

The Guardian with fake news this time, they deleted yet it has been saved. Do their journalists understand what parody is?

Gun lobby accused of 'dirty tactics' after anti-gun group's Twitter account hacked

An anti-gun group has accused the firearms lobby of hacking its Twitter account and writing posts that claimed the group was funded by George Soros and had worked with the “deep state” to block investigations into the Port Arthur massacre.

Gun Control Australia, an anti-firearms group that advocates for tougher gun laws, said on Thursday that its Twitter account had been hacked earlier in September.

“GCA is now aware the account has been hacked for some time with many false tweets being posted that have not been endorsed by GCA,” Samantha Lee, the head of the group, said.

“GCA stopped using the Twitter account some time ago due to ongoing harassment from the gun lobby.

“This is just another dirty tactic by the gun lobby to suppress the voice of concerned Australians who are proud of Australia’s gun laws and don’t want to see Australia become like America.”

While the hack appears to have occurred earlier this month, Lee only became aware of the breach on Wednesday night when the imposter posted a tweet about the new Australian Gun Safety Alliance.

After being made aware of the false tweet, Lee said she realised the GCA account had been hacked some time ago.

Would the Shooters Fishers and Farmers party which has 9 members elected by the people of Australia be considered the gun lobby?

The parody account which Sham Lee thinks is hers and has been hacked. Grin
