The tragic downfall of Liam Jurrah

[Roost It 1,434]

Seems to me you have a problem with peoples race.

No just middle class white boys telling me everyone is equal

[old dee 23,256]

Guys can we all take a breath and calm down.

The only thing worst than "The tragic downfall of Liam Jurrah" is the level of debate on this thread.

Please take a spell

There racist comments, it doesnt matter what colour you are.

I am with mjt here. I think all people should abide by the same rules.

I do not agree with different set of rules and laws based on the color of your skin.

There aren't separate rules, hence why Liam is in court.

Sorry, just got the impression people were implying that their should be in a sence when talking about his background and such.

I certainly have no issue with that.. what I do have an issue with however, are the likes of ThreeOneSix and mjt presuming guilt without having any of the facts available to them. If they are going to insist on one set of laws, then they must also insist on LJ's right to be judged innocent until PROVEN guilty.

Yeah, some here like the notion of that, but reality is the law applies to all. Other things are taken into consideration, sure, but the law is the law.

Sorry Old Dee, but when someone effectively states an accused is guilty before a trial they need to be criticized. This is one of our basic freedoms, fought for over centuries. If they think they can justify their medieval position by saying the legal system is screwed or comparing it to a government they don't like, then they need to go live somewhere where there is no rule of law. I doubt mjt would enjoy that unless his buddies were running the place.

BTW Olisik, I don't think anyone has argued that the rules should depend on the colour of your skin. I thought people were referring to understanding an individual's circumstances. The law is the law, but if courts don't take into account an individual's circumstances, you end up transporting a starving mother for stealing a bit of bread or her kids.

But you are right old dee - a spell is in order -there is little point in arguing with some people on these sorts of issues.

I hope Liam gets a fair trial. He has a right to that.

I have been critical of other parts of his "stardom"

There is no doubt he has been used by others to a degree.

But a fair trial is a right.

Your racist against White Australians, your posts are a disgrace.

If he gets off, should we redraft him?

Your outrage ( warranted) is getting lost by your classification. Attack the education, level of ignorance and intellect of the poster and the only thing you can be accused of is being smarter.

To late for that, he showed his cards.

What do you classify yourself as? Just exactly who do you accept advice from?

I'd have to say that is a pretty racist comment to make and I hope you regret it.

Prosecution witness saying he saw Basil Jurrah armed with a machete and with a gang of his own, before he was hurt. Also said he didn't see Liam hit Basil and that he was half tanked. If he is the standard of witness for the prosecution in this trial Liam will be ok.

[Bossdog 2,002]

From a long way away.....I can't see how this case will be proved.......Most of the witnesses on both side were under the influence of Alcohol.....

The real evidence will be somewhere between The prosecution and the defence's stories......It's just who the jury believes.......

9 out of 10 cases involve alcohol or drugs.

If my lack of pride in tattooed, flag waving, ignorant bogans makes me racist so be it

I'm a white Australian who bemoans our lack of engagement with our aboriginal people.

I take advice from people more intelligent than me

You can read my remarks regarding my supposed racism above

The more you post the further you dig, anyone thats a racist like yourself should be banned from this forum.

That doesn't narrow the field much.

So any one who disagrees with you fits in to that category do they?
