Gang of 49

[Phantom Gossiper]

Are you for faarking real?...

Geez, let's just accept that sh*t happens and let them have some fun ... I mean, violent break-ins, car jackings, etc ... just a quiet Saturday night in good old Adelaide ... Move on folks, nothing to see here.

I dont care if they're a group of one-legged lesbian nuns ... they're faarking crims who should be exposed to the full weight of the law if found guilty.

The suppressed and victimised minority card has no place in this episode.

Im in no way whatsoever condoning or justifying their crimes, nor do I disagree that they indeed should have the full weight of the law pushed upon them if/when found guilty, I just don't agree with the media catergorising them all as being part of a fabricated gang and adding fuel to the situation..

OK, but I'm not sure what the media have done wrong ... who coined the phrase 'gang of 49', the police or the media, and in any case who really cares?

How does media reporting add fuel to the situation? ... aren't they just reporting the crimes as the should?

The are adding the notoriety to the name as they said in that youtube clip a couple of pages back, they are giving these people more reason to go out and cause violent crimes or new people to go out and do it and think they are making a name for themselves

I've formed a wolfpack, it was just me first, a one man wolfpack then my friend joined me and our wolfpack became two.

Then you founded a great city and one then killed the other...and an Empire was born.

Media have nothing to do with giving them reason to go out and cause violent crimes etc. Having dealt with this group for many a year, the publicity means nothing to them, in fact most dont read a paper or watch the news. A lot of them are hardcore crims and no nothing else

What these crooks are called isn't important. Getting them off the streets is a bigger issue.

Yes getting them off the streets is priority #1, but obviously the media is adding to the hype and creating something bigger out of this.
Perhaps I should go through the paper over the next few days, cut out all articles based around crimes from white people and then I can declare the state is being terrorised by "The gang of (insert number here ) white people!

Crimes happen every day, all over the place, by all different types of people - all the media is doing is pretty much catergorising all aboriginals as "gang of 49" hence creating a greater sense of fear/hatred etc towards them :S
