WERRIBEE, OTHER PLACE WATCHED
A blog devoted to my home town! Scroll past the story about the handicapped girl attacked by teenagers and the picture of the vandalised trees until you arrive at the store with the swastika painted on it—above the images of the trashed bus shelter. That’s next to my old primary school, and just around the corner from where my aunt and grandmother still live:
Swastikas and associated anti-Jewish slurs have also recently appeared at the University of California, Irvine, leading to a meeting between concerned Jewish students and Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs Manuel N. Gómez. The meeting wasn’t entirely successful; although Gomez recognised that hate speech may be present, he would not seek to curtail it, as “one person’s hate speech is another person’s education.”
Sort of O/T
Ricky Muscat, one of the 5 contestants left in Oz Idol is also from Werribee!
As for the story from Irvine
The Chancellor’s words
“one person’s hate speech is another person’s education.”
OK - so this means anyone can do anything because there is no right and wrong?

More than a sewerage farm.
Now that’s a great slogan to place on a sign at the city’s boundary.
Posted by wronwright on 2006 10 25 at 06:29 AM • permalinkOnce upon a time, not so long ago, folk like those who attacked that young woman would have found themselves slathered in molten tar, covered with feathers and hanged by their necks until dead.
Their parents would have been included in the festivities.
It would have been a community event.
Same thing for perverts and enemy sympathisers hiding behind tenure.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand…one of the great sayings…
“I’m in more shit than a Werribee duck”

And right on cue, according to my TV Guide, SBS Dateline tonight will have a story on “student vigilantes dobbing [snitching] on anti-Israel lecturers on campuses across America”.
There is a reason Palestinian propagandists were worried today about attempts to call on SBS to demonstrate balance. “Balance” would mean SBS stopped emulating Al-Jazeera in its reporting on Israel, America and Australia.
Let’s see…
A bunch of brain dead dickheads sexually abuse a mentally underdeveloped girl and are not only clever enough to record it but also raise funds for their legal defence fund by selling copies of the DVD for $5.
The parents of three of the offenders dob their kids in for committing the heinous crime of rape. Good on them, I say. Who says good values don’t underpin this country?
Of course, it would help the Mussies’ social standing if their parents dobbed them in when they raped white women, as well. Oh, wait…raping an unbeliever is not a crime…my mistake…carry on…

Not only that, but they ‘proudly’ identify themselves in the credits.
I can’t decide if this is some sort of corrolary to Blair’s Law or if indeed these fellows deserve a special Darwin Award.

Now I think about it, that’s not a bad idea.I know that area a bit, having spent three years in St Albans in the very early 90s.
From what I hear Deer Park is interesting these days, with murders in the streets and strange goings on at the supermarkets.
I grew up near Werribee, and even spent a year in Ingleburn. Howzat??
Anyway, the biggest problem with the dropkicks who assaulted the girl is that when the law does finally catch up with them, the bleeding hearts luvvies will ensure that they get off lightly.
What was it Keating said about being flogged by a limp lettuce or something?
I think Grimmy’s onto something, and the comments over at the Hun show plenty in agreement.
As for me, I’m all for bringing back the stocks with the basket of rotten fruit.
I guess one thing that truly amazes me is that people are so surprised that something like this could happen.
Well, DUH! The parents’ authority over the years has been eroded by the State. You child can leave home at 12 or 14 and set up house and get paid for it.
The schools have no authority, either. As a mate of mine who was teaching at a catholic school in the suburbs here explained it: “What can you do or say to a grade 3 child who, when you ask him to sit down, says my mum said you can’t tell me what to do?”
There is no respect or fear of the law here (unless you diss the RoP, of course, or other protected minorities), and as juveniles, their names will be suppressed.
Of course, now that their faces have been all over the news and tabloids, I’m sure someone will find a way to get the details out and about.
Posted by Nilknarf Arbed on 2006 10 25 at 07:52 AM • permalinkIf, against all odds, the “Kings” of Werribee do get jail time, they’re likely to find out that their fellow inmates are no respecters of royal personages.
It is a sad fact of life that when a person’s soul is deadened to humanity and basic decency, he can, and frequently does, sink lower than the beasts.
As to U of C, Irvine, and the university administration’s policy of stern tut-tutting over instances, not only of hate speech but of genuine acts of intimidation, all I can say is maybe they need a new Gomez.
Author Name: Hanyu
Genre: Reality Series
Title: Survivor Endgame!
Logline: Sin City meets Lord of the Flies.Synopsis: 12 teenagers will be brought together for this relationship-altering journey. In this series, each person will explore and discover the true meaning of fear when faced with characters from Sin City (Marv, Hartigan, Dwight, et al). Teens cast will have been involved in producing, staring in and marketing their own production in which they assaulted an intellectually disabled girl. All will be at a breaking point in their relationship with life.
The teens will be separated into six groups of two people. We will then follow each group on a romp-around-an-abandoned-warehouse.
Each of our teens will be privy to fear-provoking information about their fate. It’s a triangle of conflict that will boil over into the final episode when our teams are reunited with their victim and family who provide clues to hunters so they can track them down.
Final Episode: What one person in each team does not know is that they will live and be allowed to face an ultimatum from carefully chosen blog readers on live TV. It is at that moment they will be confronted by their worst nightmare who poses the ultimatum: “Slit your own throat, or Marv will pull your heart out”.
Each teen faces peril or, well, peril. 12 adventures, six teams, six ultimatums, all leading to 12 moments of drama on live TV.
For some it will be the final straw. For others, a new beginning.
“Can your violence survive Survivor Endgame!”
“...one person’s hate speech is another person’s education.”
Gómez is an idiot. But that would be considered self-evident by some; he is an academic teaching at a California university.
Posted by The_Real_JeffS on 2006 10 25 at 09:24 AM • permalinkVice Chancellor of Student Affairs Manuel N. Gomez. The meeting wasn’t entirely successful; although Gomez recognised that hate speech may be present, he would not seek to curtail it, as “one person’s hate speech is another person’s education.”
So let’s see here. I would imagine that Vice Chancellor Gomez would utter the same words for say anti-Latino speech, graffiti, or intimidation. Say Abajo Mexico, (Down with Mexico) or Wetback, or Fruit Picker, or Brown Brain, or as Dennis Miller once said, I got more C’s in college than two Mexicans say when fucking.
After all “one person’s hate speech is another person’s education” no, Senor Gomez?
Hmmm.
Funny how these liberal colleges in California have no problem with censoring conservative speech but now find that they cannot censor hate speech, sorry “educational speech”, by Islamists.
Posted by memomachine on 2006 10 25 at 11:54 AM • permalinkHere in California, we consider the UC system our own bit of loony European socialist multiculturalism. Something like an exhibit in the zoo.
Posted by Spiny Norman on 2006 10 25 at 12:13 PM • permalinkSpeaking of blood libels and hate speech and official protection or exoneration of it, some worthless piece of disgusting French filth pretending to be a Judge has ruled in favour of France 2 in a defamation action against some French Jews who exposed the collaboration of the French government TV station with Palestinian terrorist child killers in cooking up the Mohammed al-Dura video lying slander of the IDF.
In doing so the French judiciary has once again disregarded all the evidence it found inconvenient, let alone any concept of truth and justice, to demonstrate for all to see that they are vicious lying antisemites just like the best of them. As they did over a century ago in another ugly judicial pogrom that inspired Herzl to found modern Zionism.
This appears to be dated news now, but somehow I missed it.
This is an important case. It is a vividly clear signpost pointing to the accelerating moral decay of France and Europe. If another was needed.
Fuck the French. These people should be shunned from civilised circles.
“Werribee” = “Where I be”?
Oh well, I tried.

Posted by richard mcenroe on 2006 10 25 at 08:16 PM • permalinkThe Werribee “yoots” are already lost. By the time they’ve reached that age, if they can treat the helpless that way and laugh about it, there is no turning them around. There can be only retribution.
As for Mr. Gómez of UC, if somebody called him a grease-eating beaner to his face and threatened to lynch him, he might decide some “education” just isn’t worth it.
