Leoj, "stuff like that", was widely reported in ALL media outlets in Australia yesterday, as it was on some world news as well. I might add in far more detail than what I have posted, including statements by other persons "asking why, and offering comment". Then you will have to say reporting of such occurrences by the media in general shows an appalling lack of empathy, compassion and decency.
Your high moral attitude and claimed condolences and thoughts, have a rather hollow ring to them

Paul,

"Issy, are we talking on the scale of the 'Battle of the Little Bighorn' where the US Calvary under the commend of Colonel George Armstrong Custer massacred hundreds of Sioux and Cheyenne Indians."

Is thet so?

An' here's me thinkin' that it's called "Custer's Last Stand"
'cause th' Injuns won.

Paul1405,

It is typical of the gutter-dwelling, ambulance-chasing Greens to try to make political capital out of calamity and trauma. You are devoid of principles and compassion.

Queenslanders for example, will never forget the Greens for their cynicism and unseemly haste in trying to score grubby political points out of the Queensland floods, 'coal mining caused the floods' and at the height of the continuing disaster when relatives, friends and emergency workers were trying to locate missing loved ones and the human toll and property losses were accumulating fast.

In this thread you have done nothing but stir, fabricate and act the idiot (your forte) to disrupt, derail and censor the discussion. Because the facts do not suit you and you like to occupy the centre stage.

Disgusting to be tripping over yourself in your haste to hitch a ride on the raw suffering from the event overseas.

Leoj and his trite contrition at the death of an innocent Australian, by the senseless action of an American police officer. Unfortunately an ever increasing occurrence in the growing violent society that is the United States today. It is this type of senseless gun violence that leoj and others would be happy to see imported into Australia. Leoj advocates little or no control of guns in society, claiming guns are nothing more than legal assets to be held in the hands of tens of thousands of good honest folk for the purpose of so called self protection. All awhile leoj advocates for a well armed private citizens militia under the control of the rabid right, led by such good folk as himself.
Australians should not allow themselves to be duped by these wolves in sheep's clothing who claim they are only advocating for the rights of good honest folk, when their motivation is far more sinister, their ultimate aim is the control of society at the point of a gun.

Issy, unfortunately for the Indians the Battle of the Little Bighorn was a Pyrrhic victory, suffering far greater losses than the small well armed force of invaders under the command of 'Goldilocks' Custer, and Custer only lost because he was a dumb ass commander anyway. Shortly after that battle, the Indians lost the war, and the rest is history.

Has that put you straight.

I note in your postings, it went from

"Found the latest massacre yet, Paul?

to:

"Found the latest Australian massacre yet, Paul?"

I see you slipped in the "Aussie" word. Why, don't O/S massacres count with you. Just like one to three don't count, and only very recent massacres count. So on your narrow interpretation

The Little Big Horn is out, not Aussie.

Port Arthur is out. too long ago.

Ian Turnbull is out, didn't do enough damage.

Well, Paul, have you found it yet?

".... 'Battle of the Little Bighorn' where the US Calvary under the commend of Colonel George Armstrong Custer massacred hundreds of Sioux and Cheyenne Indians"

Don't try to weasel out, your statement above is wrong, and when two armed forces meet in battle it isn't a massacre it's just a fight'

Custer's force was not well armed, their main arms were 1873 'Trapdoor' Springfield carbines which were prone to jamming using the then issued ammunition, jamming to the point of being rendered useless.

"In all, on Custer’s Field there was evidence of at least 134 Indian firearms versus 81 for the soldiers. It appears that the Army was outgunned as well as outnumbered."
