Aborigine in bid to execute policeman

"An Aboriginal leader has asked Australia's High Court for permission to spear a police chief to death because he extinguished a sacred fire. In court documents, Aboriginal elder and self-described warrior Darren Bloomfield accused Detective Supt Brian Hepworth of desecrating a sacred fire during a ceremony last year. Bloomfield, in documents published in Fairfax newspapers on Sunday, also alleges that Hepworth tried to run over him in a police car. "

Well at least he asked permission.

One of those cases that could go either way.

Don't suppose it would set a precedent in the UK though. :(
 
aboriginal to spear policechief

Quite a reasonable request,but one should always ask first.Really whats at stake here is,on Aboriginal Lands a Aboriginal has the choice of 2 systems of justice, white mans law or Tribal law.Say for example you drank too much and hurt someone in a car accident the family of the agreived person can invoke tribal Law and take retribution personally.Mostly this takes place when a large group of the victims family decend upon the guilty party and spear them in the thigh many times.The guilty person is supposed to get a choice of Law systems,but often being so remote Tribal Law is used often.I suppose this Plod Leader had the gall to put out a fire on Tribal Land , and so someone was trying it on in court(white mans that is ). Remember these lands belong to the Aboriginals and when you go visiting you respect the rules of the house,Rule 1. Don't fuck with the fire.
 
What about that German guy who almost put out an eternal flame for jews?
 
This German guy must have a unique sense of humour.Typical of people to lose their cool when someone finds an amusing use for flame.I saw something similar in the Holbrook RSL club.They have an eternal flame burning to honour the war dead.Anyway this young very drunk fellow staggers up to the flame and lights his cigarette.Well you could have heard a pin drop,then he is bustled out side for some fistycuffs.No sense of humour left in the older generation.
 
This wasn't just some normal Helmuth. It was some sort of German politician who was supposed to do something with the flame, I don't know what. But he turned the gas handle the wrong way, and managed to almost extinguish the flame before someone stopped him.
 
How typical of a politician to cock up the easiest operation,but we have to be thankful that he didn't become an anesthetist.
