The ABC has an entertaining little piece on one Douglas Edmonds before the courts:
Douglas Andrew Edmonds was trying to find a taxi home from Civic in April after drinking around 30 standard drinks.
Edmonds lawyers told the ACT Magistrates Court that he became offended when he spotted a young man urinating in a doorway.
So Edmonds approached him and shoved him, causing him to cut his head.
Magistrate David Mossop said Edmonds had a poor record for similar offences, and a deterrence message needed to be sent about young men, full of alcohol in Civic.
Our hero has a three month suspended sentence and 100 hours of community service.
Dog carcass in alley this morning, tire tread on burst stomach. This city is afraid of me. I have seen its true face. The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout “Save us!”… and I’ll whisper “no.”
