Ferret torturers get custodial sentences

Convicted ferret torturers Thomas Sorahan and Adriano Larobina have now been sentenced for their crime.

The RSPCA have put out a media release applauding the sentence:

    “RSPCA ACT today applauded the firm stand of the legal system in the ACT region to appropriately punish two men found guilty of animal cruelty. Sentencing the men to ten months jail with a five month non-parole period, the decision by the magistrate represents one of the most severe punishments for animal cruelty in the ACT region in some years.

    “This represents a breakthrough for RSPCA ACT in fighting for appropriate punishment for animal cruelty,” RSPCA ACT CEO Michael Linke said, “I can only hope that this firm stand will act as a deterrent to others. This case was one of the most grotesque I have seen in my time as RSPCA ACT CEO and I am confident that the community will support this sentence as an appropriate response to sick and disgusting acts of cruelty against animals.”

    Mr Linke has long sought to raise awareness of the identified link between cruelty against animals and subsequent offenses against people. Referring to the “cycle of violence”, Mr Linke said today that he hoped the early conviction and sentencing in relation to animal cruelty would act as a deterrent to future offences.”

The two plan to appeal both sentence and conviction.

UPDATED: I have it on good authority that the defence tried to argue that the previous discussion of these two on RiotACT constituted a punishment from the community already delivered. That’s something we’re all going to have to think about. Personally I’m relieved this argument did not sway Magistrate Brian Van Zuylen.

FURTHER UPDATE: The ABC has more.

+1 Granny. I am disgusted.

Justice is dead.

Damn, it’s true! Sorahan’s sentence has been set aside.

Is what true, Granny? That convicted ferret torturers Thomas Sorahan and Adriano Larobina will be released from jail around March 28, having served time after being convicted for torturing ferrets?

Is it true, JB?

I don’t see how the charges could be dropped against Thomas Sorahan and Adriano Larobina, the convicted ferret torturers.

Deckard said :

jessieduck, that would be Thomas Sorahan and Adriano Larobina, ferret torturers.

Wouldn’t that be Thomas Sorahan and Adriano Larobina, convicted ferret torturers?

Thanks Deckard.

I sincerely hope that Thomas Sorahan and Adriano Larobina, the ferret torturers, rot in hell.

My immediate thought is that charges can’t be dropped after a successful prosecution…

jessieduck, that would be Thomas Sorahan and Adriano Larobina, ferret torturers.

What were their names again Deckard?

I thought that convicted ferret torturers Thomas Sorahan and Adriano Larobina had appealled their sentence. Haven’t heard any news on whether it’s been heard or not.

Sounds like BS.

The 5 month non-parole period would’ve finished around the 28th of this month though.

Got a source for that Tom?

Yep I have some information for you the charges were dropped. Whats your thoughts on that?

Any further news on this? In relation to being elligable for their parole?

Time they took a “swim the frogs”

Lynch mobs are far too visible. Snipers remain hidden, so will those who give these two their just desserts.

arno said :

why dont you pussies reveal your true identities and i’ll show you what i do to lynch mobs. Lynch mob my arse if you are anything like the calibre of dead shits that were in court im pretty sure you couldn’t fight your way out of a wet paper bag. Either way come find me and see what happen. PS…. I ran over a frog yesterday morning, would you like to make a forum about that? I think the remains of the poor little guy are left on my front tyre

Are you planning to reveal your true identity ‘arno’?

If you are anything like the calibre of the incarcerated parties, or their mates who were in court that day, no doubt your true identity will be revealed soon enough when we read about you facing a magistrate for one reason or another.

I wouldn’t worry too much about lynch mobs, karma has a way of catching up with people like you.

@Skid post #160 – Freudian slip there? 😛

VYBerlinaV8_the_one_they_all_copy10:18 am 07 Nov 08

A friend of mine who is a cop tells me you can make a pretty nasty weapon with a toothbrush, disposable razor and cigarette lighter if you know how…

another sad thing about this case is that the poor ferrets actually belonged to their friend – who kills their friend’s pets?

arno you won’t know when it’s going to happen or who it’s going to be but you and your fellow criminal will feel pain. It might be battery acid, milked brownsnake venom or concentrated Oleander juice. You can’t hide from us.

Hey arno, remember that when you’re having the crap beaten out of you and being raped up several orifices in your upcoming sentence that we’ll all be on the outside thinking ‘FFS people, he’s just a loser animal torturer…’

I’ll honk as I drive past the big house, just to remind you that I’m free and you’re not.

I too will toot on for you too Arno, I think that we have just established a new tradition in Canberra.

Oh, an artificial orifice!

It’s amazing what you can do with a sharpened toothbrush handle.

I didn’t think arno had several orifices ….

Correction – self-proclaimed frog squasher.

Yep. It’s a confession alright. He dunnit alright.

Poptop we have a confession. Put it to the jury and be done with the allegation.

Cowering and skulking behind his squashed frog, no doubt.

Things have changed JB – for many years defence didn’t look at any sort of unarmed training as being appropriate, Since then defence has been employed in more and more roles where simply shooting the bad guy at 300m is not appropriate and as such been training defence members in self defence and close quarter fighting techniques.

The techniques are nothing special and you won’t see any jumping spinning exploding chickens of death but they are quite effective and taught in a very hands on learning approach.

The only things black belts are good for is holding your top closed and furniture removals.

Is it still called Military Unarmed Combat (MUC)?

DJK, thanks for clearing that up for me as i was not sure that it was the same person as he should not have internet access.

But seeing as he does have it: Where are you ferrett boy?

Well, lock up your ferrets people! Convicted ferret torturers on the loose ….

Yes the pondering of the stupid are funny, as are a great number of fun posters. I think you are missing another contribution RA could bring. The virtual firing squad. Bring it on BerraBoy.

Don’t look at me, I didn’t mention a ‘virtual’ anything. I only responded to low life scum found guilty of a terrible crime. Being their exectioner, virtual or otherwise, is way above my pay grade. As I said in another post, I am ashamed at having killed any animal in my past. The look in my kids eyes whenever we see roo’s etc, on our daily walks are priceless. Last week we saw a fox on Mt Arawang for the first time and my kids were very excited. I know they are pests but I still wish I hadn’t killed them (thats the foxes, people, not the kids). How anyone can kill a ferret, or any other animal, for fun is just beyond me.

Granny said :

What on earth are they doing giving Adriano Larabina, convicted ferret torturer, internet access?

On bail until their appeals have expired?

I personally might have bought a ticket for arno vs. jumping spinning exploding chickens of death however ….

The Scot I just bought a copy of ‘The Big Issue’ from (next to a crossing between bits of the Canberra Centre) has a ferret with him. Cute little guy (the ferret, not the Scot). Go have a look if you’re in town, and buy a magazine, and think about the sort of mentality it would take to harm one of these creatures.

I am not a defence trained blowhard. If I was, i would be running around town asking people to take me on. I don’t. I go to work, earn money at my 2 jobs, and go home. I avoid conflicts. I have seen too many people left bleeding in the gutter in civic, ainslie village and other locations to wish any form of violence on another person.

I have completed Rhee Taekwondo training, achieving 1st dan. I don’t parade around wearing my belt, as some of the others in my class did, it will only lead to a confrontation.

I have not the time nor the inclination at my age to bother with such things.

Can I keep the crocodile boots?

Vigilante groups, and lynch mobs both fall into the “virtual jury”.
True juries are selected by legitimacy of law and sworn in to perform a specific task.

You have no idea of the backgrounds, or size or physical abilities of anybody on this site so the common sense thing would be to suck it up. One thing I can guarantee is that even the smallest, weakest and least trained person on this site is bigger than a ferret so you’re already out of your depth.

Considering that there are a few of us that are military trained. If push came to shove, I can confirm you wouldn’t like the results….

BerraBoy68 said :

BTW: Nice try with the defence of using our public comments as a defence in court. Lets see if the prosecution can now do the same with your comments during an appeal! BWahahahahaha

or if the prosecution wanted to really see what the population of RiotACT thinks, they could post a topic for the result. Virtual jury has a good ring to it….

“Mr Linke has long sought to raise awareness of the identified link between cruelty against animals and subsequent offenses against people. Referring to the “cycle of violence”, Mr Linke said today that he hoped the early conviction and sentencing in relation to animal cruelty would act as a deterrent to future offences.”

So Arno you didn’t listen to the “dead shits” in courts and have merely confirmed what they have said. Way to continue the circle of violence.

Id say the dead shits are your mates and the lot of you couldn’t be in better company.

Princess Arno, (as you will no doubt become known inside – assuming the poster is really the torturer) as you’ve posted on two threads I’ll do the same:

It is very, very tempting to call you on your threat to come and see you just to show you how insignificant you really are. You have no idea of the backgrounds, or size or physical abilities of anybody on this site so the common sense thing would be to suck it up. One thing I can guarantee is that even the smallest, weakest and least trained person on this site is bigger than a ferret so you’re already out of your depth.

It’s this attitude of yours that got you where you are.

As for killing small furry animals, having worked on a farm after being a small arms instructor in the military, I dare say I’ve shot and killed more innocent creatures than you, much to my shame. It doesn’t make you tough or even a man. I just hope you one day regret killing those ferrets as much as I do killing the animals I shot.

BTW: Nice try with the defence of using our public comments as a defence in court. Lets see if the prosecution can now do the same with your comments during an appeal! BWahahahahaha

I blame you for this, arno!

Repost, just to get the point across…

Ferrets are not rats, nor are they even rodents.
They’re a variation on a weasel or a stoat, and were used as hunting assistants back in Roman-era Europe.
They have actual uses -in the pest control industry- eating and clearing out rabbits, rats, mice, and have another industrial use in running electrical cabling through small pipes.

In fact, one was a paid up and employed member of the New Zealand Electrical Workers’ Union back in the 1940s.

I too think its the same person, or a close friend.

Maybe they all just need a darn good biology lesson. When is a ferret not a rat? When it’s a ferret.

*guffaw*

So what is a ferret?

Apparently ‘ferrets, or mustela putorious furo, are domestic animals, and are in the same family as weasels, otters, and mink. They are NOT rodents in any way, shape or form.’

Also, ‘personality wise, ferrets are actually kind of in between cats and dogs, a little closer to dogs. They are very friendly, and make excellent pets. Some are cuddly, others more independent. Just like other pets, each ferret has its own distinct personality.

It wouldn’t really be too hard for arno to learn this if he was interested. Or if he could read!

*hehe*

I always found this case to be most compelling evidence for my hypothesis that real estate agents were creeps, and probably the sort of people I would steer clear of.

And now, I am able to support my theory with more evidence – look at the friends real estate agents have!!

I think it’s the crocodile boots.

Their apologists are such compelling arguers.

It’s not surprising that convicted ferret torturers Thomas Sorahan and Adriano Larobina keep this sort of company ….

*guffaw*

It’s the Moselle-drinking troll! Who’s worked out how to use the cut’n’paste function and is now spamming every ferret thread.

Gosh, arno!

Our true identities come from all walks of life. Musicians, public servants, computer geeks, housewives, police … did I mention police? What fun!

I vote you reveal your true identity first. Then we can all enjoy the show while you show us what you do to people like us!

*chuckle*

all this crying over rats. come on get a life or a job

why dont you pussies reveal your true identities and i’ll show you what i do to lynch mobs.

* heh heh heh*

Offtopic on this thread is the least of my many problems.

arrrrggghhhhhhh!! You are scary.

I’m waiting for a ‘back on topic please’ now from JB.

I usually just ask my well stuffed and mounbted grandmother. She speaks to me, you know ….

Granny sits at his computer – his online persona hiding a terrible secret. The softly spoken but occasionally feisty RiotACT contributor is actually an old man – and certainly not a grandmother.

As a young man he had suffered terrible abuse as an infantry solder in the armed forces. Back then, anyone who enjoyed embroidery and knitting to pass the long, cold nights on sentry duty would always be singled out.

He didn’t know why he was like this. He was close to his grandmother as a child. She has taken him in after both his parents were killed in a car accident – the police said they suspected alcohol was involved – that was par for the course in those days.

Some of her hobbies had rubbed off on him. He hadn’t mixed with the other boys much at school – and this worried his gran. She encouraged him to join the army: ‘it’ll make a man of you’. She would regret those words.

Then it was 1962 and he was sent to ‘nam. He survived there for five long years in the blood, smoke, rain and mud. He killed to avoid being killed, and he became unhinged. The man who returned was not the same as the man who went. He had learned to enjoy the killing.

The years passed and he kept to himself. He began to take comfort once again in those past pursuits. His grandmother died and her house was left to him. With his service pension and simple needs, he didn’t want for much. And then he discovered the internet.

Suddenly a new world was opened up to him. The anonymous nature of the internet allowed him to be who he wanted to be. He took the on-line persona ‘Granny’ – a mild mannered and sweet contributor to a range of forums and discussions. He spent long hours at the computer, warmed by a bunny rug and slippers and slipping endless cups of tea.

But the time in the jungle was always there and the knowledge of what he had done there stuck with him. Within him was a fire that he could not put out. He suppressed the desire to kill again… But how long could he hold out? How to choose a victim?

that actually sounds like another moderator I know…

The ferret torturers think that they have already been punished? in this small country town, they ain’t seen nothin yet….

y’all.

Wow! I want another story now.

: )

No no noooo Skid. It’s like this:

JB sits on a stone throne in a dark cave. He pulls one infernal lever after another while the fires of hell boil and roll around the room. The screaming of tortured souls can be heard wailing and gnashing their broken teeth and steam and dust fill the air.

A gnarled, hunched-over goblin crawls into the room, ‘masterrrr, masterrrr! You need to moderate…’

The throne shudders and the stone dias beneath it begins rotating. A sound like an earthquake crashes and the goblin falls to the ground ‘nooooooooo! Not the eyes!! Not the eyes!!’

But JB’s features are revealed and his fury is terrible to behold. ‘Curse them to the moderation queue!! CURSEE THEEEEEMM!!!

The sound is deafening and the rocky walls crack and split. Masses of hot rock fall to the floor and an earthquake tears the floor apart. The goblin falls to his death – burning in the lava below.

JB’s evil eye has fallen upon the offender. ‘You will say NOTHING UNLESS I APPROVE! NOTHIIIINNNGGG!!!!

The RiotACT Cabal … *hehe*

BerraBoy68 said :

And JB can put you into the world of ‘moderation’, so heed his warning…
There are actually some rules. JB makes them and actions them as he sees fit.

RiotACT is a Fixed Unit Trust ( http://www.abr.business.gov.au/abnDetails.aspx?ABN=51647446095 ) and incomings or profits are split between I have no idea how many people.

Lets call them the RiotACT Cabal.
They act as the the power behind the throne, and have boozy meetings in smoky rooms, talking about how to best to manage people like you and me, how to react to threats of legal action, and what to do to them.
As a fixed unit trust, Jb isn’t their Lord and Master just a fellow member, but I suspect as the Editor, he gets paid enough cash (either by them as salary or as his share of income) to keep him in cheap sleeping bags and warm drugs, and still has to answer to and defend his decisions to the rest of the Cabal.

While I suspect he is given a fairly loose and long lead, and gets to exercise his own judgement on most things, his decisions are still based on the business framework the Cabal agrees to, and subject to review.

But the moderation queue is one of his more regular discretionary calls
(and means you don’t get to respond while we tear your arguments to shreds, in retaliation for you making personal attacks).

Note: I may be very wrong about some of the above as it is mostly pure speculation

…and trust me, you don’t want Skid hating you! 🙂

@Pommy:
No. Thats just very annoying, and massive repetition of phrases is less likely to get you ranked, because its less interesting to real people.

Google uses a ranking formula, in which both the words used and the cumulative ‘trust value’ of the individual external linkages determine its weight.
Internal references don’t count for much, and links to a page by untrusted pages diminish its value.

Best illustrated by the story of French Military Victories in Google.

Try it yourself:
Go to Google, type French Military Victories, and press “I’m Feeling Lucky”.
Note the result.
For the story behind it, repeat step one, but press “Google Search” instead and look down a few links, or just go here.

In short, do some research, and don’t make faulty assumptions, or I will hate you.

All creatures great and small, I love them all, I just wish I had of been there that day in court to jeer at those worthless pieces of scum.

if it was my kids or my fur kids, I would still leave them breathing. just. but in no position to ever hurt anything ever again.

peterh great minds think alike!

Would it be too much to ask that convicted ferret torturers Thomas Sorahan and Adriano Larobina are given the same punishment that they gave the ferrets?

Could someone film it so we can all have agood laugh at them too.

Same, BerraBoy68. I probably haven’t been hit as much though.

Yawn…. in the ACT 3 month suspended sentence…. yawn

maybe 12 months if for example you beat a child to death with a frying pan from the back of your car….. oooops didn’t that already happen….my bad I meant hypothetical examples only.

Peterh, I don’t care what anybody says, a mindfcuk is just as cruel as physical assault. Cruelty is cruelty.

I think a mindfcuk can actually be worse than physical assault, Granny. As an ex-football player and bouncer, I’ve been hit several times and the pain always goes away. However, things people have said and done to me mentally many years ago are still quite painful to this day.

Back on topic, I couldn’t think of anything worse than betraying a trust or loyalty placed in me, especially to a child or an animal.

Peter for god’s sake let someone else get a word in edgewise.

JB, isn’t it nearly time to be moderating?

distasteful as ant’s comparisons are, I would treat someone who hurt my pats or my kids the same. No-one has the right to hurt them out of malice or otherwise.

It’s already happening.

It would certainly be nice if some so-called adults could act like it.

When people are cruel and violent towards people, thre’s a whole raft of laws that can be brought against them, and they usually are. Animals, however, are a grey area it seems. Law might be brought against them, or it might not. Cruelty to animals is often viewed as “less serious”. So this thread is about people expressing the view that it is in their opinion VERY serious.

If they’d smashed toddlers against walls and injected them with substances, and most likely killed them, do you think they’d get a few months in jail?

@Loose Brown:
Anything people said on here, which would explain to your satisfaction, why nobody had commented with outrage (or otherwise) on a case involving a Massey could possibly be viewed as prejudicial or influencing minds before any upcoming jury selection.

There’s a whole interweb of information out there if you’re interested in finding out more.

Well my view is references to raping the offenders are a tad beyond the pale.

but i wouldn’t do that, i would make them suffer. mentally, not physically.

after suffering physical abuse, the last thing i would want to do is sink to that level…

I would rather mess with their minds.

It would be nice if there was a similar level of ‘lynch mob’ outrage for crimes committed against human beings.

there probably is, but it hasn’t made it onto RA yet.

Not that you can’t all sit back and feel proud that you created a kind of privacy shrine to these people through interweb filtering, but for the >45,000 absolute unique monthly visitors to the site, only one of them needs to be a bored vigilante or disturbed nutcase who decides to do more than just rant about things.

And then suddenly Johnboy’s inbox is full of legal requests for your listed email and ip addresses, because your subject of discussion ended up beaten within an inch of his life, drinking through a straw, and living out the rest of his days as an angry old skeleton in a wheelchair.

Do you mean Thomas Sorahan, the ferret torturer?

Gold!

wright dunn seem to have no mention of him. tom@wrightdunne.com.au doesn’t work, either.

Looking at a previous property he was listed as an agent has the full name of his partnering agent, but just “Tom” next to his photo. Good. If I was Write Dunn I’d be distancing themselves as far from this cruel bastard as possible.

No matter what happened to these pricks, they deserve EVERY last bit of it. Plus, 10 months with 5 months parole is not enough! How about 2 years with 12 months parole for starters?!

tylersmayhem3:24 pm 28 Oct 08

Ha, ha, ha – five months of forced anal: suck it up you d1ckheads!

How about reading post #18. By assuming that everyone who gets a custodial sentence will also receive anal rape is frankly embarrassing and ignorant.

Just because you can share something, doesn’t mean you should put all of his datapoints and breadcrumb trails (like his mother) in the one place.
Or is this all an attempt to get “Don’t say what you can’t afford” made into a tagline?

Yes, his mum may be devastated about it all. She may even have pets of her own. I don’t know what I’d do if I got a phone call saying that one of my kids had been charged for something like that.

Please disregard my last comment as it was irresponsible of me.

Behave kiddies, or i might have to tell his mum ( Who lives in Holder)

Yes, thats the one. I just checked the Wright and Dunn website and it is as if he never existed or if he did then all images of him have been removed. As a pet owner myself, i see my pets as children who look up to me for food, protection, shelter and love. I hope that he has the worst prison experience imaginable. With any luck someone in prison will hold him down and “inject” him with an unknown substance. See if he is “pinging” after that.

Does anyone know if Thomas Sorahan, Ph [REDACTED], still has his job at Wright and Dunn real Estate?

This whole episode really makes me sick and I hope these low life, mouth breathing, bottom dwelling scum suckers live out their lives as paupers rejected by society.

it’s akin to walking up to a toddler who is smiling up at you, and punching it in the face.

Let’s hope other animal torturers are noting this whole case, and thinking that maybe vicious cruelty to animals is a bad idea.

and that did for me. could you do that to a toddler, or an animal that was a companion?

if the lawyer wanted us as a representation of society, he should have posted their faces, addresses and any other info on RA, so we could show our friends… my toddler could fling poo at them…

They’ll probably just learn not to leave the video of their crimes sitting around unsecured. Sadly.

By the way, the animal torture thing isn’t a indicator of definite future violence on humans, just a tendency.
And its only approaches being a valid indicator amongst children, and if it becomes habitual.

tylersmayhem10:26 am 28 Oct 08

Personally, I think 10 months is a nice beginning. I think it should be a couple of years! These arseholes will appeal and appeal for at least 10 months, then they will be released for time already served, without ever having to see the inside of a prison! Boo!

I have it on good authority that the defence tried to argue that the previous discussion of these two on RiotACT constituted a punishment from the community already delivered.

What a load of crap. Perhaps the comments made on here has shown loud and clear how we will not accept this kind of behaviours, and maybe even put pressure towards a strong penalty. To get a slap on the hand and sent off because people will remember who they are and what they have done is a joke. That’s just the kicker of it all. They are lucky that they have not been sentenced to much, MUCH more time. Considering that cruelty to animals is an early behaviour of many murderers and serial killers, these two are lucky they don’t get a much harsher sentence as a preventative measure.

After all, they’ll travel far enough to get other jobs, and lie to get girlfriends in the future.

Sssh.
The fear is all part sentence.

tylersmayhem10:16 am 28 Oct 08

but with any luck they’ll get worse than that where they’re going. Enjoy your holiday, scumbags.

Yes, that would be nice…I admit. But the truth is that the kind of abuse that the word “prison” conjures up after watching movies like The Shawshank Redemption and Lock-up, simply will not happen to these guys. The kind of physical and sexual abuse that is reported generally happens within long-term general population incarceration, and to and by those long stay residents. The kind of prisoners who instigate this type of abuse are those who know they will not see the outside world for a very long time.

Do you HONESTLY think they will put these guys in a maximum security prison, in with the general population of murderers and rapists? I think not.

VYBerlinaV8_the_one_they_all_copy8:48 am 28 Oct 08

And you all thought QBN wasn’t good for anything! Maybe the ACT courts need to take a leaf out of NSW’s book…

Seriously though, these dirty scumbags got what they deserved, and will now have this follow them around. Sucked in to them, I say. Enjoy your stay on the inside.

Dang, I forgot all about it! I would have liked to go and boo at them. Trying to imagine what those little animals went through is a very upsetting exercise. They thought humans were benign, who gave them shelter and food, and played with them. How horrific to be smashed and beaten and punctured by those they trusted. Kudos to the Qbn court for doing the right thing and putting these evil people behind bars.

They might end up getting violated by everybody, violated by nobody, or they might not get violated at all…

The formula is probably complex, and involves working out how pretty they are, if they cry alot, and if they mind being married to whoever has the most cigarettes.

If they come out with a number tattooed onto their person somewhere, they were just too pretty for their own good, and the market decided their value for them.

When they are violated in prison, I pray it involves gaffa tape.

I got the feeling that supporters of these 2 idiots were trying to incite a few comments a couple of weeks ago. Probably trying to get a few more to use in their ‘punishment in the community’ line of defense.

Sucked into them.

My Ferret told me, that she hopes they get violated in prison, but I told her that saying things like that is inappropriate.

So, the lawyer that claimed that public interest in, and comment in a public forum, on an event which occurred in it, was against common behaviour, unlike the gossip which already occurs in back yards and cafes everywhere, and constituted prior punishment….
Was he appointed by the court, or did they have to pay actual cash money for his advice?

NSW Thumper.

“a punishment from the community already delivered”?

Well yes… if we get to deliver some of what was discussed in that thread!

For once I agree with a sentence. Now if our local magistrates would issues such harsh penalties for those that hurt ‘people’ we’d be getting somewhere.

I totally agree with this sentence. Animals, and particularly small animals, are incapable of defending themselves against such barbaric idiots. I hope this dissuades others from thinking about doing anything similar.

As I sit here patting my ferret, I can only wish there is a nice place in hell for scum like this.

Woody Mann-Caruso6:46 pm 27 Oct 08

RiotACT constituted a punishment from the community

No, it constituted the community talking about what punishment it would like to deliver were they found guilty. I’m thinking rusty barbed wire wrapped around an old school glass Coke bottle stuck where the sun doesn’t shine, but with any luck they’ll get worse than that where they’re going. Enjoy your holiday, scumbags.
