Conspiracy theory number 56478

Correspondent 04 June 2002 0 minutes read

www.timbip.org suggests: "Highly skilled professional shooters murdered 35 people and wounded 22 others at Port Arthur under government instruction, and Mr. Martin Bryant was certainly not one of them."

Part of the claim: "The perpetrators of this act of terrorism have a killed to wounded ratio of 1.59 to 1 which is better than all but the top marksmen in the world. Do you think an intellectually disabled man could have done that?"

"How could Bryant, an unskilled person of low intellect, kill 20, and wound 12 people in the café, mainly by head shots, while firing from the hip, in 90 seconds?"

Outlandish theory or Pro Gun lobbyists?

Pithy Quote

You lot, you just sit around and talk about socialism, you're the bloody problem. Eighty per cent of this country are white trash, working class. How come they don't vote Labour? 'Cos the Labour Party are a fuckin' disgrace, that's why. I'm against socialism on principle. Engels - he was a factory owner in Manchester exploiting 13 year-old girls. Learn your history, pal, learn your history. I suppose you blame all Ireland's problems on the British. All the problems of the world are down to Britain. That's what you think, why don't you say it? You can't bloody tell me anything about oppression cos, I'll tell you something pal, if you'd been part of Germany, you'd have been liquidated. If you were part of Russia, you wouldn't even exist.
