There’s something about the Downer murders that brings out the very worst in people.

To that end “cog” sent in the following magnificent flame around 5am. It gets bonus points for flaminess because he posted it on not one, but three stories!

    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

Hats off to you cog, you win the RiotACT Flame Of The Week award!

“Yep the devil got double life in prison, it was a just sentence for this demonic creature, he should be reminded every day why he is there.
Enjoy Eastman’s company ha ha ha”

Are you simply agreeing with yourself????

No facts speak for themselves, and most of you on here were wrong about the sentencing.

From Cog’s original comment: “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? “

Well metaphorically speaking, these comments aren’t so much “shit” as they’re WD40… that is what you put on a broken cog in society after all like that which has just been sent to jail.

Leave her alone CSRI. There was a very good reason Justice Gray threw away the key on this creature, I’m sure you’d agree with me on that.

I am not arguing about the sentence, it just amuses me that her consecutive posts start with ‘yep’ and ‘yes’ – sounds like the chap out the front of my office this morning, deeply invovled in a conversation with himself whilst downing a can of bundy and coke.

Yes justice has been done, and a fair trial, judge alone at that, so much evidence, of course he got on the stand, they didn’t have anything, well monster looked like a deer in headlights, when he couldn’t explain certain things by the defence, and got snarly, he thought he was so smart.

I hope he lives to a ripe old age in prison, and when he’s dying, may he suffer a long agonising excruciating death, when he dies, may he dwell in the bowels of hell for eternity.

Yeah don’t forget McDougall is being tried in a magical mythical land called the ACT, where murder is just a 2-syllable word found in Agatha Christie novels, and where stabbing your mum in the face 57 times could land you in gaol… for a good 12 months.

You are so right! Did Scott’s mummy deny him access to the biscuit barrel once before din-dins? There you go Scotty, there’s your defence!

Cog

Where were you when the evidence was presented what McDougall did to the victims, you should have been there, so you could see and hear for yourself, instead of getting on here commenting about McDougall which you have no idea, I’m sure you would have changed your mind about McDougall, he is nothing but a lowlife coward, who murders two people much smaller then himself, and one being a female, with a meat cleaver, truly a real coward. As for your mother being upset, imagine how the victims mother’s feel and what they are going through, you can’t!

No, both of you have replied Lol, just sick of a couple on here going on about a voilent murderer who deserves justice, he will get plenty of justice, unlike the poor victims, where was their justice?

The victims of murder here in Canberra don’t get a fair trial, so what is this crap about the murderer having a fair trial? They can choose Jury and Judge or Judge alone, and old law premeditated murder had to be proved, not intent like other states, Julie and Struan will be going under the old law, if McDougall had gone Jury and Judge he wouldn’t have a chance in hell, well he will end up there anyway.

Do you feel like you are talking to yourself?

I’m impressed by the symmetry of flaming a FOTW thread.

And where were you Cog when monster was in court, he had maybe one friend, most of the time no one.

Unfortunately the criminal has the upper hand, they can choose jury or judge, the system is all for the criminals.

jackal Well he must have gotten something out of Marist school as did monster, it didn’t help him

Thank you Serenance1 on your above post now #52, well written.
As with this case it appears from the committal hearing the evidence put before the Magistrate was mostly forensic evidence. For the Magistrate to commit the accused to stand trial she had to have been convinced without reasonable doubt that there was enough evidence for him to be convicted in the Supreme court for the murder of both of these victims & for trying to burn down the home.
As for the media yes they have access to all evidence submitted to the courts, however they will intrepret their own version of events to the public and pull out parts that will sell a story, its not the version that has been told to them by the professionals who have investigated the murders or from famiily or friends of victims. Simply the media trying to piece their own version of events.
In this particular case there appeared to be enough forensic evidence given at the committal hearing to give the public a good insight that what happened that night was horific to say the least. No words can explain what was released so far.
As for ‘COG ‘, I dont believe anyone exists it is simply a person who has made a post looking for a bite from the public.

It’s frustrating and funny at the same time to see that so many people still make assumptions and judgements based on what they have read or heard via the media. Based on unpleasant experiences in the ACT I learned that nothing printed in the media is reliable . The information has gone through so many sets of hands before it gets to court. If you want to make a judgement about a crime committed or about the accused in question, you pretty much have to have witnessed it happen. Otherwise you are ready to accept the following:
Police always tell the truth.
Defence Lawyers and prosecutors do not call each other and trade of facts made in statements , sometimes termed “agreed facts”.
Court reporters always have access to all evidence and statements and are always allowed to publish everything about everyone.
News forums are choked with comments from morons and you can almost hear their misguided and mistaken moaning as you read. “The injustices of everything, this government is a joke, judges leniency, throw away the key”… bla bla bla. It’s amusing for the most part, but still frustrating that people still consider the news to be any kind of reliable source in Australia. But no matter how you come to view crimes committed, justice or injustices as the case maybe, consider those affected by crimes that are remain unsolved. Who never got any answers, albeit from a newspaper. Its demeaning to them when the self-righteous blast the legal system or apparent leniency in sentence. Give thanks for cases that even get to court.

Lessons from the past

I’ve been considering the pros and cons of a tourism marketing campaign along the lines of:
ACT Now … And you’ll get away with murder!
BTW It’s no coincidence that Andy had a telephone to God and was also a good Catholic boy.
Catholics are the only ones up there.

Pour the rest of that bottle down the sink.

I see a future relationship between cog and sassiecassie, given their skill at seeing the best in people, especially if all evidence points to the contrary. However, I do acknowledge that Scott is innocent until proven otherwise. If he is lucky, he might get Higgins

BTW, I just post here to get out of jury duty

Cog – if you thought people were going to make jokes – why post your rant? Did you expect to shut people up and stop them from airing the voices that, according to you, they’re so lucky to have?

If you’re worried about your mother, spend your energy on her and don’t waste your time cursing people because your opinion (in your own words) will never “change the fact that what he did was wrong”.

I’m new to Canberra and this site and know nothing about the murders, but I’m enjoying the “glib, smug alcoholic jokes on this subject”.

I’m wondering what happened to the relationship between Cog and Scott between 1986 and now. Gut feeling that Cog may have just been released after a good 23 year stint.

Cog knew Scott “between 1980 to about 1986…”

Did Cog suffer amnesia in 1986?

(and ditto for #2 comment from dead bloke on the piss)

I agree with Cog!! How could anyone get a fair trial with the bull crap that’s on this site! Most of you people have no idea!

Loose Brown said :

Hey wow Cog! You are right! The fact that your brother is friends with Scott’s brother really does give you the moral authority to condem those who say nasty things about a murderer!

Thanks for clearing that up!

Don’t forget that he knew the guy … in the mid-1980s.

Umm, why would God have a phone?

He needed the line so that he could get broadband.

“Only God has the number of some of you I guess (so I dare you to make a joke about that you pathetic freaks).”

Umm, why would God have a phone? Seriously, giving people visions and people hearing voices in their heads? Why would he/she/it need one? It seems to me that he/she/it already has better coverage than most telecommunications providers.

Anyway, it sounds like you should keeps better company if you are saying that you think Scott McDougal was an alright chap regardless of what he did. Or maybe you should get your head checked because you sound like a fcuked up God botherer or something if you can find the good in that person. But, if you are a religious nutjob then you are expected to think that there is a good part of him.

Now I hope that he gets a fair and swift trial though just to keep you quiet.

Hey wow Cog! You are right! The fact that your brother is friends with Scott’s brother really does give you the moral authority to condem those who say nasty things about a murderer!

Thanks for clearing that up!

I am disgusted by 90% of the ignorant, uninformed and callous cowardly comments made by some of you people.

I am interested to know which of the ignorant, uninformed and callous cowardly comments make up the 10% you aren’t disgusted by?

Hey Cog,

Is this Scott Mcdougall the same one that grew up in Wanniassa and briefly went out with Kate Fischer?

Inappropriate11:14 am 28 Jul 09

Bonus points for confusing espousing with spouting and marrying it with shit in the same sentence.

Deadmandrinking11:10 am 28 Jul 09

Well, I must say, I’m not currently on trial for killing two people and burning their house down…so I might not be as bad as Scott.

He is surprisingly articulate (given previous winners), and he makes some valid points (right to a fair trial etc). Grammar and spelling good too. He has raised the bar.
