It’s about time we re-named the Police Wrap as “Hoodywatch”.

Canberra needs it’s own version of the star chamber.

What low-rent scumbags, the Curtin two. They also look a bit gay – here’s hoping they get to express their man-love in the AMC soon.

Yeah, it’s a definite haven for the criminally minded.

Going by Canberra’s record they will either:

a) not get found
b) get found and be underage and get off
c) get found, get off and proceed to further more cowardly crimes.

God I love the Nations Capital

Great photo’s of two utter cowards. Let’s hope that these scum are picked up quickly – and let’s then hope that the punishment fits the crime.
