Hello All,

After reading the article in the Canberra Times and seeing photos of the relatives in the print article my heart goes out to both Julie and Strauns families and friends.

This person who allegedly murdered these persons is a disgrace to have yelled out to the families in the court room from what the Canberra times printed. Also on the other hand it shows the other side of this person who must be holding guilt inside himself for feeling the need to yell out such horrible words and if you take note of his comment he said “You’ve got no f—ing idea, c—,”.

Let’s await feedback from the next court date in December and see if he is able to contain himself in the court room as it must be eating away at him for what he has done to two friends.

May the moon, stars and sun follow Julie and Straun forever,

This is the most aweful double murder I have ever heard of happening in the ACT.

I have read these posts closely in the last couple of days because I knew Scott between 1980 to about 1986, and his older brother remains a close long life friend of my brother. It also upset my mother a great deal. I am disgusted by 90% of the ignorant, uninformed and callous cowardly comments made by some of you people. You obviously enjoy espousing such shit. Does it make you feel better? Funnier? More worthy? Only God has the number of some of you I guess (so I dare you to make a joke about that you pathetic freaks).

Scott is a human just like you. None of you are better than him, and by some of your comments, you are clearly worse (head up arse and enjoying it factor). None of your bullshit meaningless opinions change the fact what he did was wrong, and I hope his victims rest in peace. Some of the glib, smug, alcoholic jokes made on this topic are unbelievable.

He still deserves a fair trial. Have some faith in the people whose hands this is really in and keep your stupid mouths shut. Pray you, your family, or those close are never involved in something so horrible.

You scumbags on this site sure have a voice, which is fine (consider yourselves lucky) but you out yourselves as ignorant c**ts who have no f**king idea.

Ironic hey

It was Mr Ged in the Conservatory with the candlestick.

Yes Ged, what would you like to share with us ?

What an odd thing to say . . .almost as if you were wanting to divert suspicion from yourself . . .

Re all those people listed as being murdered in Canberra over the last few years….(most of them still unsolved, unless they are domestics)….
Does the killer walk among you subscribers to this blog?
Now, that would be interesting, if you came out from behind your mask of anonymity!

If I found that phone I’d take it to the end of the earth and throw it off, Gods Must Be Crazy style. That’s after I pissed on it.

You are so right mdme workalot, “PurenPretty” is certainly a misnomer for that particular contributor! See #70 on this thread: http://the-riotact.com/?p=8867 for further examples of how impure and unpretty a person can be.

This is a disgrace!

Very messed up people! If I was the family or friend of the victims, I would not entertain these freaks!

Real SICKOS! Get a life and let these poor people grieve with dignity!

take him down to rivett oval and pee on him

Thanks Johnboy,

Enough is enough – The famiies are devasted & people keep reporting back to them what is posted, no wonder why they have finally come on here to defend their loved ones.

SheepGroper – No its not the families fault they are suffering enough & when people report back to them what is being posted can you blame them for getting on her to defend their loved ones who were taken.

PurenPretty – Is known as Chris.Kerno. A heavily known drunk so ignore all comments by him. Belconnen scum.

Ant – Have a heart, let the loved ones prey the vitims rest in peace. Read the deceased victims statement above. Leave them to rest in peace now.

Just everyone please leave Julie & her family alone. The sadness of them losing her is enough, just stop it.

Sands

What a non sensical comment, can’t please everyone all the time!

Well, as long as you say Rest in Peace after it, it’s OK.

Much like “no offence”. That always works. especially when followed by the word “but”.

johnboy said :

PurenPretty,

Can you do me a big favour and not try and further antagonise the understandably upset family?

Thanks.

Isn’t it the fault of those who claim to be family for returning again and again to a site they claim to disturb and offend them if they repeatedly get offended and disturbed?

That’s right “PurenPretty”. You’re sweet enough without it aren’t you.

Yes, but had barely got started. Will go order my popcorn without icing sugar.

At least if we’re stuffing our faces with popcorn it will slow down our typing of those libellous posts about each other.

Carb-calm.

I agree that Xmas is a time of increased edginess; I’ve just not seen it played out on a forum quite this starkly before.

Strap yourselves in for the next month then – it’s going to be a bumpy ride.

Not the days of MY lives, thank god. It’s like watching cave persons, throwing bones at each other.

poptop said :

Am I being unduly sensitive or are lots of Riot-people off their happy pills this week?

It’s the fact that Christmas is just around the corner that makes everyone a bit edgy.

JB, please kill this “I knew Julie and Struan better than you did/I was a better friend to them than you were/I know what really happened, and you don’t” thread.

Like the sands through the hourglass – this is the days of our lives………

Am I being unduly sensitive or are lots of Riot-people off their happy pills this week?

And rubuyred is into moderation.

Johnnyboy you may be sick and tired of these comments about the downer murders but I am sure you will have written another blog on the 12th December, what are you whining for you get paid every time someone blogs on, you narcissist!

Thesun08

I knew McDougall also, McDougall always used to say how he adored Julie, he thought she was wonderful and this is what he did to her. It will not be over for the families as it could take at least two years as he has pleaded not guilty so we won’t be moving on with our lives and will never ever forget, I think about Julie and Straun several times in a day, every day

Rest in peace Jules and Straun

I was wondering this because I know Scott and know a bit about his past etc.. Not sure how he is feeling about the situation, I guess only he really knows that.

This is not what normal people do even if they are drunk. Lets hope that justice is carried out.

I think its just so sad and my heart also goes out to the family and friends, I hope they can try and move on with their lives. Things like this should not happen and there is no reasonable excuse for it.

Again, no one deserves to die this way.

Thesun08

He has no remorse and is smug, I believe he should never be released from prison and that isn’t only my opinion, no normal person would do what he did to those two inccent human beings, it was horrific and no one deserves that, I can’t imagine what they went through, I hope justice is done, my heart goes out to the families and friends of Julie and Straun

Thesun08

This is just my opinion as I have been reading up on psychopaths, as he has always been violent, it goes back when he was a child, if you read on another blog someone has mentioned that he had treatment for his temper when he was a child, he has been violent to most of his girlfriends eg: Donna, and stabbed a guy in the neck in Queensland and did three years for manslaghter, he had only been out of prison six weeks when he murdered Julie and Straun, and 10 days in Canberra, Julie would have seen him only three times I think when he arrived in Canberra. He can’t be charged with intoxication as the laws have changed in Canberra, he wasn’t playing whats the time Mr Wolf over and over again for nothing a few hours before he murdered Jules and Straun,

Guys PurenPretty doesn’t deserve the attention!

#107 Rubuyred: No he hasn’t been diagnosed as yet but what he did to those two human beings only a psychopath would do that, I’m sure he will be diagnosed soon.

‘Psychopaths cannot be understood in terms of antisocial rearing or development. They are simply morally depraved individuals who represent the “monsters” in our society. They are unstoppable and untreatable predators whose violence is planned, purposeful and emotionless. The violence continues until it reaches a plateau at age 50 or so, then tapers off.’

The reason I asked this is because I am wondering if he is actually a psychopath or was this drunken rage? If he is diagnosed with this then its best that he gets put away for a very long time as above ‘unstoppable and untreatable predators’.

“Rubuyred” Must be related to the deceased, rude, crass and highly opinionated etc etc!!!

Your comments on the post of the ‘Identified female ‘are a disgrace. There is a big trial to come & you are indicating you knew the deceased female.

Thesun08

Rest in Peace Jules and
Straun

Has McDougall been diagnosed as a Psychopath?

Hi all

McDougall is a psychopath and he will commit other simular crimes if he is ever released, he is very smart, I believe that he will be charged with double murder and arson, I hope he gets fifty years in prison and rots there and when he’s dead may he rot in hell for the most horiffic double murder ever commited in Canberra.

Hi,

I haven’t visited this site for some time now.
I am Julie’s sister & thank you to those of you who
have had nice comments about Julie & Straun on some blogs on Riot.

Masquara, Julie left the industry some years ago & I can assure you this terrible
tragedy has no involvement with the sex working industry that so many are referring to.

This creature had only been back in the ACT for 11 days & Julie had no contact with him for 4 years. Yes he did make contact with Julie upon his return to Canberra, however this wasnt a person that Julie had been having regular contact with or involved in anything illegal, he was simply an old friend of Julie’s of 20years, since they were teenagers. Who would expect an old friend to do something so horrific to someone that he adored so much & this was publicly known as he often told people she was a beautiful person inside & out.

This murder has nothing to do with drugs or anything of the sort, what you read in the Canberra times is incorrect from the reporter Noel. Simply it was somone who got out of control in a frenzy drunken rage, not related to drugs. I cannot go into any further details due to legal reasons however I do ask that before being so quick to judge please wait unitl all details are released to the public as to what occured & how these two innocent victims were so horrifically murdered.

Straun & Julie did not deserve their lives to come to such a horrible end like this – If you didn’t know Julie/Straun whilst they were alive you certainly don’t have any right to be making such judgements now. As someone else posted on the ‘ Downer Murders ‘ blog, ironically & characteristicly Julie would have accepted much of the critism aimed at her, however she isn’t here to defend herself & it is unfair for anyone to make such judgements on her.

Julie was fun, witty, full of life & lit up a room when she entered it as the statement was released by our family when it was announced Julie was the un-identified female from the Downer murders. She was loving, a loyal friend to so many and a loving sister who will be so sadly missed & also by her only nephew who adored her so much & she adored him so much.

For anyone on this site I think its best that comments where people are writing who are un-informed of what took place to wait until all legal proceedings are over. Everything will be released then.

Poptop – As for your comment Yep, I always enjoy reading about other people hijacking a tragedy to make it about themselves.

** Unless you are providing valid information to the police or [even better] appearing in the trial, I am afraid I will regard all comments as being as uninformed as mine and your motives considerably more suspect.**

Some people on this site are not hijacking a tragedy to make it about themselves. A few people on this site have valid reasons to defend Julie & Straun. There are a few people that have spoken the truth & the police are well aware of this.

Puren Pretty – Some of your remarks on this site have been quite nasty & thats ok as you didnt know the victims, if you did you would def not be writing on here the way you have been. I do think if you have a comment that you wish to be degrading aim it a the creature who took my beautiful sister from us & Straun who has a family of his own.

The Sun08 – Thank you for your beautiful poem.

To me Julie will always remain forever in my heart, the loved & cherished memories from our childhood together & growing up will always be a special & no matter what horrible comments are written on any site only those that were close to Julie will ever know the real Juie & the truth. I was never ashamed of the business Julie was involved in some years ago, neither was she, Julie was open & honest unlike many other people are in life. She truly had a heart of gold.

Julie had many friends from all walks of life & was so well respected & loved by those that new her. She had the most beautiful send off funeral & had so many loved ones there to celebrate her life & farewell her.

Sadly people find it entertaining to connect her murder with her being involved in her past working history however this is not the case.

The driver & Ruby red have not exagerated about this size of this creature – From when I met him over 15 years ago he was not a big person however since working out in a QLD jail yes he is quite big now & will only get bigger as he is also working out in the remand centre. I guess he has no choice as when he is finally sentanced he will need all the help he can get.

As for the Canberra times so far many sentances that have been written have been incorrect. It was myself who Creature yelled at & I can only presume that was because I knew him many years ago when he dated someone I know & also he knew how close Julie & I were, I guess I touched a sore spot by being there as yelled out very loud and agressively in the court room for no reason. No family member cursed him on 3rd Oct that was someone else in the court room. I believe the family of both Julie & Straun have remained calm throughout all court appearances, it is upsetting to say the least when you have to sit in the same room as the creature who murdered our loved ones, not allegedlly he did murder them both.

I have only posted this on this site after hearing from many some of the posts that have been made & have posted my post to clear up some rumours.

Julie & Straun are in a peaceful place now & my only wish is that this creature is sentanced so no other persons have their lives taken away in such a horrible way such as our loved ones were & no other family has to go through the saddness that our families have had to go through and are still going through.

Thank you,

That is magnificent.

I hope she is up in heaven right now sitting next to baby Jesus, knitting socks for homeless children and watching The Days of Our Lives on Foxtel.

Can someone kill the thread – please!

Puren Pretty

You seem to be hell bent on connecting the downer murders with the sex industry and aiming at someone who isn’t here to defend themselves, SHAME ON YOU! Why not attack the murderer with your comments he’s alive? What christian sect do you belong to? You don’t appear to have any idea what the real world is about, I suggest you get out and travel more, you with your puffed up self inportance.

MissMoniker

The difference is I am alive and not being disrepectfull about two human beings that were murdered.

PurenPretty… It’s sad you continue to make assumptions about drug use and prostitution even after some facts have been presented. I take it you have no experience in either. There are plenty of reasons not to enter the underbelly of Canberra. It’s just your reasons are crap.

You might find that alcohol, has far more influence on murder than “hard drugs”.

Missmoniker has pointed out that in Canberra we have had very few, if any murders related to the sex industry. That includes this murder.

I don’t feel compelled to defend missmoniker. She does a good job of it herself.

MissMoniker said :

OMG PurenPretty, are you really that narrow minded or are you just pretending?! What involvement with hard drugs and/or the sex industry would you say that these people had:-

Bill Bush
Zhang Hong Jie (also known as Zhang Hongjie or Steffi Zhang)

Sad that you want to defend the sex industry and hard drugs, hope you get out and off soon.

PurenPretty. What kind of trouble is that. Being murdered. So your saying you have a less of a chance of being murdered if your not involved with hard drugs and the sex industry.

There is nothing seamy about Canberra’s underbelly. Its all one piece.

Yes, and I might add, associating yourself with known criminals.

This is just so shocking and very sad! This has had a ripple effect on allot of people.

I can’t imagine the pain of losing one of my family members. It doesn’t get any worse than this. I can not get my head around why?

To the Families who have been touched by these tragic events:
(Not sure what you believe but I hope you take comfort in this)
If only we could understand, probably never will on this earth but I do believe that God has power over all and now has both these people and they are at peace.

A poem I really like!

May the Angels lead you into paradise; may the martyrs greet you at your arrival and lead you into the holy city, Jerusalem.
May the choir of Angels greet you and like Lazarus, who once was a poor man, may you have eternal rest.

I also believe that it can happen to anyone, anywhere, doesn’t matter who you are or what you have done but no one deserves to die like this.

I am praying for all involved!

PurenPretty: that’s just plain silly…”so true”? What a crock.

[quote comment=”155959″ I’d venture to say (at considerable risk to my cyber-person!) though, that people who don’t engage with the sex industry or hard drugs are many times less likely to encounter this sort of trouble. Perhaps that will inform some people who are considering dabbling in Canberra’s seamy underbelly

This is one of the best comments I have read so far. So true!

rubuyred said :

No, dont agree with that persons comments and no, definately not the same person.

Oops,
I should have said to when monster is in jail hope he doesnt bend over in the shower to get the soap there will be bigger than him in there & when all find out what he did especially to such a beautiful female as many have noted on posts he will be the bell of the ball. Karma one would say.

Hi All,

The system works like this: At the commital hearing that was stated in the Canberra times as being set for most likely mid 2009 all evidence, forensic, wittnesses will be displayed. So far monster has been charged with murder & arson in this crime (not including all the other crimes he has just been charged with due to his DNA being found from this murder from crimes he committed back in 2004/2005. Then monster will put his defence forward, ie if he will keep his same plea of not guilty, change it to guilty or plead down the insanity path.

Not guilty plea – The judge determines if there is enough evidence to proceed forward to supreme court for trial & this would mean monster has a choice of jury or I could be wrong here but DDP.

Guilty – If changes plea to guilty it will then just proceed straight to supreme court for sentancing.

Insanity – Then goes down mental health path. He will see a psychiatrist & have his story put forward how he is insane/DDP on other side will have pscyhiatrist too & it will up to the judge to determine if he is fit to plead on trial at supreme court or if insane be sentanced to a institution attached to a jail.

Taking all into consideration his last prison sentance in QLD he was found fit to plead & did plead not guilty but was charged with manslaughter & served 30months in a QLD jail.

That is my understanding of the legal system, if wrong please correct me.

Ian – Couldnt agree with you more. If you are sent to jail for something minor not violent and made a genuine mistake even such as a traffic offence, stealing. I believe in rehabilitation, ie letting the person improve themself with education, gym etc. They deserve a chance.

However if you have been clearly found guilty of such a serious offence such as murder no privliges should be allowed. If monster is found to have murdered these two innocents persons as so far it is pointing that way with him being charged with murder, lighting a fire well then he should receive not anything in jail. He should be provided with basics to start a fire as seems good at that, Food to survive should be a stick with a rat on the end for him to have his sunday roast & the urine of a rat for him to drink.
Alcatraz – type of jail sentance for those that are found guilty of committing such horrible crimes.

I will be really cranky if this person is found to be guilty, sent to Canberra jail where they have a big art area in there ready for prisoners – Why should tax payers money pay to support such evil people. As a tax payer I would be happy to pay for the electric chair to save all tax payers money instead of supporting monsters for the next 50 years of their lives if they are found guilty of any such offence as this double homocide.

Taking into consideration here the innocent victims have been given a life sentance so why even should this monster be given any chances if forensic evidence clearly shows he did it. And I am talking here about all murders not just this one if forensic evidence shows a person committed a murder they should lose all rights. Forensic evidence is just not about proving someone was there at the scene with DNA samples all types of forensic evidence comes into it. Such as piecing the scene together, movements, everything.

Eyeball In A Quart Jar Of Snot – “For all we know he was committing God’s cull by eliminating these two people.

Who cares?

None of them ever sent me a Christmas card.”

Ask the remand centre if you could spend a day in the cell with this monster, preferably christmas day so he can play the song that was posted by rubyred ‘ whats the time mr wolf over and over again like he did a few hours before he murdered these victims – You would sure get more than your christmas cards worth! Or let your own mother, sister, daughter spend a day with him, would you have full trust to let them now? I dont think so as you obviously know something serious has been found out for him to be held in custody.

He has been charged with murder by police a few hours after the incident but is pleading not guilty like most people who commit serious offences do to get a reduced sentance. Its that simple.

Ghosts dont go murdering people then setting fire to a house to destroy evidence.

PurenPretty – If you are saying rubyred must be related to the deceased my question to you is, how would you feel if one of the victims was a relative of yours? Without answering back so quickly please think about your answer. Of course you will be deeply upset.

Rubyred – If you are a direct relative of one of the victims why not say so, may stop all rumours on here. The only hope I have is no matter what the sentance this monster gets is that as long as he is off the streets who cares. He will live within himself for the crimes he has committed to two people he was friends with for many years.

No sope on a rope for this monster!

Puren Pretty

So you agree with that disgusting person’s comment? Or are You the same person, so childish

PurenPretty… I think you might be getting close. You might like to think multi user name too.

McDougall/Munro is very burley in build, as he had been working out in prison in Queensland

This pisses me off. Why do we give prisoners access to gym equipment etc? I don’t want jails turning out fit, muscly strongman criminals – I want them releasing spindly weaklings unable to even lift a jemmy or whatever tool of their trade is.

The evidence does not point to murder suicide. Ghosts can’t light fires. Bagging murder victims shows a lack of manners and decency.

Continued displays of public grief can seem odd, when we don,t know who the contributors really are.

As all RA readers know, the trial is just the bit before the inadequate sentencing is given.

Eyeball In A Quart Jar Of Snot12:20 am 26 Nov 08

So he’s already been found guilty?

Why are we wasting our time with this trial?

Eyeball In A quart

No he hasn’t but he will be charged with double murder and arson, they know they have the murderer as they had forensic scientists on the scene, so stick that in your pipe and smoke it!

Eyeball In A Quart Jar Of Snot12:00 am 26 Nov 08

Back on topic…..

This character hasn’t been found guilty of anything yet.

For all we know it was a murder-suicide.

What if he lashed out and punched someone? He has nothing to lose, maybe there should be a barrier between him and the people

I am sure there are bigger boys than him, he’s in pre school at the moment, maybe they will call him huggy bear! ha ha

But when Mcdougall is in with the big boys as you said, Mcdougall who is a 180 kilo monster that is all muscle not to many will be game to take him on. This man is huge.

I guess he’ll be referred to as a ‘bear’ in prison.

yap yap yap

I doubt it, He has no friends left, no buddies in court

Hi all

You have no idea what it feels like to come face to face with the evil monster who murderd, a friend, daughter or son, you feel like belting him, the shock of seeing the evil monster who murdered a loved one, you can’t take your eyes off the animal, you can’t imagine why it came to this, so horiffic were the murders, you ask yourself why why!
The evil monster is not talking but the forensic evidence will tell some of the story.
He does need to be handcuffed and shackled, also ducktape over its mouth as it dosen’t talk anyway

” I think that its a sad situation and people are only adding to it with some of the rubbish I have read on this site, its all words but not truth.. Best we leave it to the courts to decide the truth. Angry words are not going to resolve this nor help it..

I pray for all familys involved to come to peace with it, cause its the only hope to move on and let the justice system take it from here.. “

Yes I agree let the justice system take it from here – He is not still being held in custody for no reason, not this long obviously they have serious evidence against him. To then set the house on fire after clearly shows he was trying to cover evidence. If he wont do the talking the forensic evidence will speak for him as someone else stated on a previous post. As long as he is not walking the streets who cares what happens to him just keep him out of the community so we are all safe.

No matter what industry anyone works in there are murderers from all walks of life & that is where the focus should be to keep them off our streets not aimed at peoples line of work, there are good and bad people in all workplaces.

” Now I don’t give two tosses about whether or not he’s guilty, but packing a court room full of jeering/taunting relatives and [b]not[/b] expecting a response?

Must be daft.”

– It wasnt the family who yelled out in the first court case, as for the one of late where monster yelled out to the victims family he should have been on his knees apologising for what he has done. His comment said it all if you think about it as printed in the canberra times ‘ you have got no fu*cking idea….c*nt ‘, so obviously he has some idea of what went on. Two people murdered & one alive obviously he knows what went on. He has not been charged with murder for no reason by police in the first place. If he was found early hours of the morning in his car as stated and charged with murder police had to have had enough evidence then to charge him.

From what I hear he did not have hand cuffs on in the court room, hopefully next time he has hand cuffs on and a chain attached to his feet to he cannot latch out at the victims familes. I am sure it would be hard enough for the families to have to sit there & go through any court case sitting near a person that has taken their loved ones from them.

Well it’s likely enough as we are in Canberra..

“potential jury person, do you now or have you ever read ‘the riot act’?”

“yes sir”

“i seek for this person to be dismissed from the jury, m’lud”

Everyone has the right to a fair hearing, interesting to see how this one goes? I understand the anger and hurt hey if it was my family or friend (I can’t imagine the pain) I would want justice and a fair trial. I think all of the above are speculation and the truth will come out through the court.

“If Scott Munro/Mcdougall is ever released back into the community I believe he will committ murder again”

“He DID murder Julie and Stran not allegeded, he has no remorse”

“I believe Mcdougall kicked Julies door down while she was at home.”

“I only stated a fact. The fact that he was violent to other girlfriends I can’t argue with that.

Subject to whatever the criminal court finds, I can hear the writs being typed-out as we speak

I don’t think anyone has ‘rubbished’ Jules. I’d venture to say (at considerable risk to my cyber-person!) though, that people who don’t engage with the sex industry or hard drugs are many times less likely to encounter this sort of trouble. Perhaps that will inform some people who are considering dabbling in Canberra’s seamy underbelly (and nb Fiona Patten, who is NOT involved in sex advocacy in the interests of a liberated sexual life for people, but for purely commercial reasons, so there’s no point mounting an argument with me on the merits of sexual liberation in the same paragaph as Patten) and they might think twice. That said, of course it is very sad that those people met a brutal end. It would a good idea for influential people to influence people away from the sex industry, not into it.

Quote: he who is without sin cast the first stone.

Very true!

Hi all

McDougall/Munro is very burley in build, as he had been working out in prison in Queensland, Jules didn’t have a chance with the evil monster, Jules never hurt anyone, how dare Marquara get on this site and rubbish Jules, some christian you are, he who is without sin cast the first stone, I’m pretty sure it won’t be you Marquara.

Rest in Peace Jules with Gypsy xoxoxo

I only stated a fact. The fact that he was violent to other girlfriends I can’t argue with that.

Ahem – I think you did intend just that, Driver

Hi All

Sorry did not mean to cause so much offence.

Scott was never violet to this girl

can i vote for this as the cutest typo ever?

Steady Eddie said :

Ah, yes. Scumdorg – he’s the one who wrote on his blog a few days ago that the death of the two babies in Tathra “should only be applauded because it will save the taxpayer thousands of dollars in welfare payments”.

Scurmdorg left RiotACT afgter he received some abuse about hanging out at the kids tent at a family day out in Commonwealh Park even though he had no kids. He wanted to meet his hero who was a TV star but also an ABC kids presenter. This wasn’t the reason he received negative comment on RA though. Rather, it was because he had already admitted hanging around public toilets for sex, including with self-admitted peadophile Paul Lyons. BTW: this is not an attack on Scurmdorg, just clarification on why he left RA and threated to close the site down.

The Driver – abusing others the way you are is the sign of a person unable to argue facts, or even opinion, in a cohesive fashion. I’d like to hear what you have to say as on thsi thread I think you have some vaild points and inside knowledge. Not sure how long JB will let you continue the way you are though.

Who is moderating this thread?

You are right about the fact that Julie and Struan are innocent of any wrong doing.
I believe Mcdougall kicked Julies door down while she was at home. Sounds to me she did not want to let him in.

But when Mcdougall is in with the big boys as you said, Mcdougall who is a 180 kilo monster that is all muscle not to many will be game to take him on. This man is huge.

Miss you Jules (and Gypsy)

Sunshine

He DID murder Julie and Stran not allegeded, he has no remorse and is smug about it, I wonder how smug he will when he is with the big boys, he knew he had a drinking problem, thats no excuse for what he did, it was a horrific crime.

Maybe some of you dogooders need to think what it would be like for family and friends if it happened to a member of your family. My heart goes out to the families of Julie and Struan as they were completley incoccent of any wrong doing

Rest in Peace Julie and Struan

Hatred…. Everywhere… Chill people…

marquara

Why are you bringing up brothel owner? Julie left that some years ago and that has nothing to do with the double murders, they all knew each other, Julie had known McDougall or AKA Munro for 15 years and Straun for about two.

As far as taunts go it was someone else at court the 3rd October who yelled out not family, their were no taunts from family, McDougall took a step toward a family member and leared at them in a threathing manner thats when a family member yelled at him, you weren’t there so you don’t know what your talking about, as usual the Canberra Times have it wrong once again, Strauns family were not in picture printed by Canberra Times. Marquara your mind is sooooo small its as thick as the end of my fingernail, whats your problem did your old man go to a brothel?

Too true, she is opportunistic. Who here isn’t. Still Eros is an industry lobby group that does not represent brothels. Using a brutal murder to bag the sex industry is a bit of a stretch. It has nothing to do with why Julie and Straun where murdered.

The fact Julie was an ex-brothel owner is just your dirty little minds entertaining themselves.

Dexi, she belongs on any thread on this sort of topic. Fiona Patten is a sex industry advocate and has spoken to the media on many occasions about brothel issues such as sex slavery and exploitation in brothels. Her own role before her current advocacy role has been as a prostitute, producer of pornography, internet porn trader and with an interest (via her partner) in several Canberra sex trade businesses. Patten has kept up a running opportunistic commentary on all aspects of the industry for the last 20 years. Who could forget when she and her partner blackmailed the Coalition over a Liberal MP who happened to have shopped with his partner at a Fyshwick sex shop for non-violent erotica.

Fiona Patten is involved with the Australia’s national adult retail and entertainment association. She has absolutely nothing to do with this thread. Get your facts right. She doesn’t represent Ex-brothel owners.

Must be daft.

I’m pretty sure it is the same one, AKA ‘Scumdorg’ who vowed he was never going to visit RiotACT again and was planning to close it down (sorry can’t find link from old website). Calling someone a ‘moron’ is pretty tame to what he has on his own blog.

Wide Boy Jake, are you the same Wide Boy Jake who was banned from a blog for inciting someone to commit suicide earlier this month? Calling people morons seems to be heading in that direction …

Oh so you have all the answers I see, quote: It would be great – no more oppression. There is the fix! Lucky there are people like you out there making such big comments but really what are you doing about oppression? Or are you just sitting behind your computer telling us what you think of Christians and morality? I know allot of Christians getting out there and acting on their Morals.. ‘Actions speak louder than words’

What does the Sex industry do for oppression? Answer: Nothing but add to it!

I agree with Marquara the sex industry is awful and is morally corrupt!

What I am saying is this is a very sad situation (the Downer Murders) and if morals were involved, this would not have happened.

Why not? It would be great – no more oppression (oh, and it’s spelt “clearly” by the way) . . .

Stuff like this doesn’t go down with so called Christian Morality..

Stuff like what? What are you talking about?

Sounds like your morals are a little misplaced! Not sure how family first and wowser Christian morality have anything to do with this? It doesn’t.

So why did that moron bring Fiona and the sex party into this thread in the first place?

Quote: By the way Wide Boy Jake Julie was a former brothel madam.

So?

If Scott Munro/Mcdougall is ever released back into the community I believe he will committ murder again. I briefly knew this man in the early 1990’s and went out with a former girlfriend of his. She though he had a dark side to his nature and was glade the split up. Scott was never violet to this girl, but while he went out with her he admitted to us both about an extreme act of violence he committed in Queensland.

By the way Wide Boy Jake Julie was a former brothel madam.

After enduring taunts from the victims’ friends when he appeared in court last month, McDougall swore at a group seated in the court’s gallery yesterday, including Mr Bolas’s sister and Ms Franko’s mother.

”You’ve got no f—ing idea, c—,” he said.

Yes that is definitely incontrovertible proof of his guilt.

I agree – mind you, given the victim’s brothel madam status, this ongoing Jerry Springer display does serve to remind us of just how awful the sex industry is in general. Here’s hoping it will undermine the ramblings of Sex Party doyenne Fiona Patten, and her ridiculous sunshine&flowers take on the sex industry.

Pretty much my thoughts on reading this too, seekay. It gives us a window in to how such people live and think. Then again, I don’t really want to know. I guess that this world is where those school bullies are headed.

If he acts like that the only guilt he has is probably the guilt of being caught.
It’s bad enough that the families have had greif from the murder without having to put up with that shit.
