Being on the hill at Leichhardt is reason enough.

I'd chose Leichhardt over most grounds. It's f**king awesome. And then afterwards you go for a meal at Grappas afterwards for some excellent Italian food.

Ludwig van Leichhardt set up a penal colony in the area in 1781.

A man escaped, waded along the river, and just as he got near the modern day James Ruse creek was bitten on the toe by an eel.

Following a brief struggle, the man befriended the eel and together they founded the fine city of Parramatta.

Many years later, on his deathbed, the man reached into his corset and gave the eel his plans for a new sport to be known as Rugby League.

And it's still there to this very day.

Im sorry, if I have to wait for the video of Trumpy receiving counselling from a miniature donkey, so do you.

tens of thousands of redacted emails

tens of thousands of redacted emails

Likely, but there’s meant to be audio visual etc. Guess that could be blurred out.

The reference to asking if Putin still has his pic of trump blowing bubba... the mind boggles.

As the White House and doj have been gaming, we can’t know if certain images etc that are released are faked or not.

This is the problem when leaders lie.

I’m waiting for the audio of Trump ordering Epstein out of mar a largo and begging Virginia to stay.

Tough that’s she’s not with us to watch it unfold.

Person with anti-trans beliefs who was "doing the right thing by conveying the word of God" ruled by an australian court to be guilty of threatening or inciting violence on grounds of gender identity, but avoids jail time due to mental health issues and "intellectually performing at a low level".

That’s as low IQ as you can get…apart from El Diablo.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

We shouldn’t be convicting people with mental health issues.

 

[the phantom menace]

We also shouldn't be going around and claiming that God is anti-trans. Happy for no jail time and treatment for the offender, but the conviction should rightfully stand.

Well he didn't think too highly of the sodomites

Jude 1:7 records that both Sodom and Gomorrah "indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural lust, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire".

Sodom and Gomorrah - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

I had some Jehovah's knock on my door and do their usual, and they asked me who God is, they then answered their own question by saying god is love, which to me just shows their blind faith.

I said well he doesn't love everyone. Yes he does he's very forgiving. I quoted them what god said about the gays, and they left.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

And…

Where God is all loving and forgiving, he will forgive the offender and not want to see him convicted.

It seems to me that the offender was very ill (according to experts) and that significantly reduces his culpability.

He could have been dealt with under the mental health provisions of the law instead of being convicted.

Convicting someone when they are not in control of their thoughts and actions (as properly diagnosed) serves no purpose other than undermine the rule of law.

His lawyer should appeal the conviction.

There’s very ill people committing offences in our mental health institutions (bless the staff in these workplaces) every day and I don’t see NSW Police investigating them.

Note the phenomenal number of charges the cops withdrew. What a waste of taxpayers resources.

Resources that might be used to detect and help the mentally ill and victims.

God would support that I’d think.

This bloke brutally murdered a man (I saw the blood) and had no conviction reordered due to the mental health act.

He shouldn’t have been released.

A conviction doesn’t necessarily have any bearing on the following sentence or anything else except what the law says in terms of ranges.

Sometimes there’s minimum for things such as certain driving offences. But rare.

He’s back in the institution where he clearly belongs.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

No doubt the professional experts at the mental health institution, they have to make a call and I think there is a mental health tribunal as well.

But realistically people are going to slip through the net.

I’m not sure of the figures, but I reckon it’s more than likely than the overwhelming number of folk released, they rejoin society on an Ok basis.

And maybe the are all monitored etc.

But a 100% success rate would be very hard to achieve. I truly wish it was so.

There will be the usual flurry of activity from stakeholders and so forth till it reaches those choke points.

I live near that lady who was beheaded by her unwell daughter. The lady’s other daughter had a lot to say about the system.

She spoke really well and has my full support.

The beheading daughter used to scare shoppers. And these days we are more attuned and hopefully caring about these folk, but she would act up and people would avoid her.

The mum was a legend and did her level best for her daughter…anyway.
Hopefully never forgotten.
