Hey o sung wu,
Thanks for taking the time to explain, I suppose all the things you mentioned make logical sense and that everything is done for a reason.
I made the mistake of jumping to conclusions a little bit with the bus event in Brisbane yesterday.

Hi again ARMCHAIR CRITIC...

It doesn't mean you're wrong ! I've been retired from the job for awhile now, and one thing with the coppers they're always evolving, both with operational matters and procedural planning, including the manner in which they handle media inquiries.

Back to that dreadful crime in Brisbane were the young Bus driver was wantonly set ablaze and died. By all accounts they've taken the perpetrator into custody, and he's 'helping police with their inquiries' - this is a relatively new term, whereas formerly it was usually, 'a man's been taken into custody and is being spoken to or, interviewed by detectives'. "A rose by any other name is still a rose"?

Please don't misunderstand me AC, I'm not trying to make light of this awful crime, I'm merely illustrating variations of 'copper speak' is all?

Hi there PAUL1405...

I was stationed at Redfern, and I couldn't agree more, you meet all manner of people, from every nation, and every corner of the world. By and large they're terrific people! Do you recall an indigenous lady 'Mumma Shirl' by chance? A rough, tough, but 'beautiful lady' with a huge heart as big as the N.T.?

IS MISE...

You seem wholly absorbed in this world of violence and savagery to the extent you're immensely keen to arm yourself, in the dubious event you're ever attacked? How sad. To me that's a sorry indictment on society.

O sung wu,

you're getting it wrong again, mate, I'm one of the most peaceable blokes you'd ever meet; but no one treads on my toes.

I seem to have a great asset that helps me to have a peaceful life;
I walked into the Crystal Palace Hotel one day (and it could be a bit of a bloodhouse sometimes, despite the police watering hole on the second floor).
I heard a fellow say to his companion, "Geez, he's a bad looking bastard."
I asked my mate who was waiting for me, with a couple of schooners, who they were talking about, the reply was "You, stupid!".

Here's a 500 yard shot with a .22 rim fire pistol.

Never tried over 200 yards myself.

Hi all
I am late to this post due to a dying mother board. I have not read all the posts, but this is a clear wake up call to focus on the real problem that is the level of mental illness in the community. Having more guns or increased police protection is only a band aid that does not fix the problem.
