blah blah blah…..proving the moon landings didn’t happen.

So someone that finds it unusual that an old bloke and “a man he believed to be his friend” are driving around the bush at 11pm must be full of conspiracy theories huh?

Nope. But a sick puppy who (in the absence of any evidence) posits that the poor old bloke who got rolled may have been a gay man “looking for a little bit of younger action”, well now, they just might be full of conspiracy theories, among other things.

Hell, even if your seriously strange theory is correct, how is it relevant? The actions of the younger bloke would still be criminal. I don’t think there’s many ways you could justify robbing a senior citizen and dumping them in the middle of nowhere.

Communication. There’s this thing called text.

How is a deaf mute man a Veteran?

I’m thinking Vietnam, a very long time ago now. Deafness caused by exposure to loud noises, ie explosions, gun fire, leading to a loss in the ability to speak over time.

Certainly not uncommon.

There you go, I understand the deafness bit but I would not have thought that you could go mute as well. I have learned something today, thank you Riotact

All a bit odd. Came here from country NSW. Where ? Wagga or Yass ? and to be out at 11pm on the Cotter road after looking at cars , where, caryards by moonlight ? the cops know more than their press release.

On the surface of it, robbing a 66 year old at knife point is certainly abhorent, but along the lines of something else to the story I’m wondering if this isn’t plausible:

66 Year old goes looking for a little bit of younger action, the young ‘friend’ susses out what the old creep is up to and arranges an ambush planning to off the sick bastard but chickens out at the last minute so robs him instead.
[/theory]

Seriously, what were they doing driving around bushland at 11pm?

Remind me to ask the cops not to do any sort of local press release if I am the victim of a crime. There are just too many ‘deep thinkers’ in this town who have become bored with proving the moon landings didn’t happen.

PTSD or an injury sustained whilst in service, not that uncommon.

What kind of low-life a-hole does something like this? The more I read about these situations, the less hope I have for this town.

I don’t think the bottom-feeder who robbed the old man is from Canberra..
