Congratulations for taking this thread to a place that it didn't need to go anywhere near.

I don't think I took it there. if you go back through the thread you will see where it germinated.

Might be time to close this thread.

I'll even resist the urge to slip in a last word.

People are not critical of Liam because of the colour of his skin, people are critical of the offences. Liam's is a well broadcasted case, and has a connection to the MFC, which creates further interest. I do believe there was a thread recently about Nathan Carroll being arrested, and many strong views were published in that.

Bloody near every thread on Demonland turns in to an attack (of varying degrees) or strong criticism of an individual or individuals. Watts cops it. Neeld cops it. Caroline Wilson cops it. Steven Milne cops it. Bill Vlahos is copping it. But as soon as an indigenous player cops it all of a sudden it's a racial attack?

Justifiably or unjustifiably, everyone will have an opinion on a topic. I would strongly doubt that anyone on here would have different opinions on a topic because of the background of the individual/s in said topic.

It's not uncommon, you just have to look at America, where people are labelled racists for simply pointing out that Obamacare is a flawed system

My only comment in all of this is maybe this thread ought to be moved to the general discussion area as any relevance to a player being Melbourne is all but well and truly on the scrap heap.

Good idea

What has being involved in a high speed car chase got to do with Liam's skin colour or race?

He has made many trips to Adelaide lately from his home.

From his facebook entries not always in a good frame of mind.

I don't want him to kill himself or his kids who often ride with him or take out another car if he is speeding whilst stoned or drinking.

He has had too many chances already.

I have the same attitude towards any person.

He is a danger to himself and others

It was inevitable billy. Always happens when the topic centers around indigenous Aussies.
