Video: murder on the dance floor

Dec 14, 2008

(Nothing to do with Sophie Ellis Bextor) ... Mohamad Omar of Punchbowl, was stabbed to death at the Beirut By Night restaurant at Homebush in Western Sydney. Guns were pulled. Probably a fight over a girl. Riot police called. Westmead Hospital emergency entrance blocked by dozens of mourners.

Below is the Yahoo 7 video. The presenter made sure that alcohol is the first thing that's blamed. Yep, always and everywhere, it's alcohol. Nothing to do with a militant culture.

And whilst Ambulance officers confirmed they were delayed by the crowd, a NSW Ambulance spokeswoman said there was no interference. Yep, the Middle Easterner/Muslim can never be criticised, nowhere and neverywhere.

Thanks to the squawking of these PC parrots, Middle Easterners/Muslims will never be criticised and are doomed to repeat the same errors, time and again.

Video: Aboriginal v. Samoan tension over bashing death

27 Oct 2008

Videos here, here and here.

3 News in NZ reports that 9 people have now been charged over the bashing death of Richard Saunders, uncle of rugby league star Johnathan Thurston. It also reports longstanding and heightened racial tensions between Aboriginals and Samoans/Islanders. One Aboriginal said "These bashings are going on all over Brisbane. Just this morning on the bus a young Aboriginal woman was spat in the face by a Samoan or New Zealander, whichever ones they are. What are they? They're all the same to us. Aboriginal people here are being bashed and murdered in this country, in their own country, they're getting bravery awards ... for killing Aboriginal people". Police recovered a machete and metal bar near the attack and more suspects are being questioned. The 9 arrested are aged between 15 and 24.

Yet another victim of the failed diversity experiment. The Courier Mail and Australian also report ethnic tensions, fear of gang violence, Islanders yelling abuse at the court house, along with continued police denial.

Richard Saunders' uncle, Wayne Saunders, said:
"The Aboriginal people here are being bashed and killed (by Pacific Islanders) all the time," Wayne Saunders said.

"It has got to the stage we are too afraid to leave our houses at night.

"This is our country and we are no longer safe because of these people. We should send them home."
All nine charged males are believed to be of Pacific Islander descent and have been charged with murder.

Update: more than 100 Aborigines gathered outside Beenleigh court and warned of revenge attacks. Wayne Saunders also called on Aboriginal elders to cut ties with Pacific Islands communities.

Video: Mormons stabbed in Sydney's "little Lebanon"

October 16, 2008

Videos here, here and here.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints said Wednesday that Chris Collinsworth, 19, of Mapleton, Utah, and David Ferguson, 21, of Great Falls, Mont., "suffered multiple non-life threatening stab wounds in an unprovoked attack ..."

Both were hospitalized after the attack Tuesday night...

A state police spokeswoman, speaking on the police policy condition of anonymity said that Collinsworth and Ferguson by three unknown men, who made no demands of the two missionaries. The men were described by as being Middle Eastern in their appearance, the spokeswoman said.

Alisa Collinsworth said her son was stabbed in the back near his kidney. She said Ferguson had the tendons cut in his hand and needed surgery...

"He said they were just walking him home when all of a sudden he just gets hit from the side, just slammed," his mother said.

Chris Collinsworth said he fought back, but told his parents that several men jumped on top of him. He got stabbed at some point during the "dog pile," his mother said.

Alisa Collinsworth said her son told her that Ferguson was cut and injured when he jumped in to get the attackers off his companion. Ferguson bled profusely and Collinsworth used a tie to make a tourniquet, his mother said.

Alisa Collinsworth said her son told her he also was held from behind and his shirt pulled over his head while several people kicked him in the face and stomach. The attack ended when a motorist pulled up and started yelling and pounding on his horn, she said...


Chris Collinsworth has only been on his mission in Sydney, Australia for six months, so his family was surprised to get a phone call from him early yesterday morning. It was news they never expected to hear: 19-year-old Chris and his companion had been attacked and stabbed.

On and off the court, Chris has proved he's not one to back down. Yesterday, he and fellow missionary, David Ferguson from Montana, were walking home when a man jumped Chris.

"He's just going along, and somebody came up and just got him from the side, just smacked him and tackled him," Chris's mother, Alisa, said.

Chris fought back but soon found himself outnumbered.

"Then he got jumped by a couple more, and there were knives involved. And somewhere along the way, he got stabbed in the back," Alisa said.

When Ferguson tried to help, he was stabbed in the hand and thigh.

The men began to attack Chris again, knocking him to the ground and kicking him until a man driving by honked his horn. "The guy yelled out his window really, really loud and it scared them off," Alisa explained.

Chris was badly beaten and suffered a stab wound to the back. But both he and Ferguson were released to the mission home today.

Alisa doesn't know why the men attacked her son, but she thinks the motive may have been something other than religion. "They said they think they targeted Chris because he's such a big guy," she said.


... Ferguson had the tendons cut in his hand and needed surgery.

Ferguson's father, Great Falls attorney Cameron Ferguson, says his son plans on completing his mission.


Both missionaries were transported to a nearby hospital after being attacked by "at least three men," in a section of Sydney known as "Little Lebanon," according to Collinsworth's father, Jeff Collinsworth.


UPDATE: this page from the 15th quotes the mother being more specific:

Meanwhile, the United States embassy in Australia is said to be investigating the incident. An official motive has not been released, though Collinsworth's mother believes it was a combination of racial and religious reasons.

"Chris is in a real melting pot, there's guy from all over the world," said Alisa Collinsworth. "He said the guys who came after him were Lebanese Muslims and they were grown men... they were big guys."

UPDATE 2: Whilst speaking with some Mormons, I was told the stabbing took place in Auburn.

UPDATE 3: there is a Mormon account of the stabbing here.
Big, white, Christian, and American in south-west Sydney. There's four reasons to watch your back. This happened about last Tuesday the 14th. That's a week ago. Has any Australian media covered it? I couldn't find any. Is it on the NSW Police media site? I couldn't find it. What's going on? Just a flesh wound was it? Afraid of sparking another Cronulla? How many more stories haven't we been told about? And has someone told Collinsworth's mother to deflect any racial and religious motivation?

I'm not exactly sure where Little Lebanon is. I'd guess either Bankstown, Lakemba or Auburn. A message on facebook suggests Auburn. More on the story here.


Chris Collinsworth: A 6-foot-9 forward, Collinsworth is an all-around player whose versatility makes him a key contributor to the Cougars' up-tempo style of play. A skilled player at both the small and power forward positions, he is a talented scorer with good range and the ability to put the ball on the floor. He played in all 35 games for the Cougars as a true freshman in 2007-08, making six starts while ranking fourth on the team with 4.8 rebounds per game. He came to BYU out of Provo High School where he was named the 2007 Gatorade Utah Boys' Basketball Player of the Year after leading the Bulldogs to the state title.


Sorry mate, your near-death experience isn't newsworthy in Australia, apparently. Maybe if things were the other way around and you were Middle Eastern and attacked by a group of whites, maybe the media and police might have reported it.

Video: Coal 4 Breakfast

October, 2008

Watch at youtube. See related Nine News video story.

coal4breakfast.com.au
At Haystack on the Darling Downs, a mining development licence has been granted by the state government to the state government owned Tarong power to develop a mine on 13,000 hectares of prime agricultural country. This country is farmed in an environmentally sustainable way and has won national Landcare awards for the work done in the area to promote ecologically friendly farming practices.

In the last year alone the area taken up by this mining licence has produced enough wheat for 68 million loaves of bread, enough sorghum to feed 14 million chickens as well as thousands of tonnes of malting barley, edible chick peas and mung beans. In an era when food prices are rising, a United Nations report recently predicted that in the next 50 years the world will need to produce as much food as it has in the last 10,000 years! Can we really afford to destroy this land.

In 20 years when the windfall for the state coffers has ended and the world no longer wants coal, Australia will stand condemned on the world stage for its greedy rapacious ways and environmental vandalism. This iconic farmland and much more will no longer produce food! Will our children and society really think it was worth it?

Audio: farmers up anti-mining pressure on NSW Govt

19 August , 2008 - ABC radio
A group of farmers is warning the New South Wales Government they will do everything they can to stop mining in their region.

The Chinese company, Shenhua Energy, has approval to explore for coal near Gunnedah on the Liverpool Plains in the north-west of the New South Wales.

Local farmers want an independent water catchment study done, as they claim mining will contaminate water aquifers that are used for stock and domestic use...

TIM DUDDY: The district will blockade every property in the entire district, if that's what it comes to. Until someone is prepared to listen to what we need to do, that is what we are going to have to do.
