Pratt says we're exposed following Charnwood nudie run

I remember having a cards night.. and all losers of the night had to do a run from this guys house to the cooleman court side of the underpass nears royals footy club…. I think after we did it once we all started doing it for fun anyway….

Actually, this brings back fond memories of my undergraduate years – pressed hams up against the window’s of Nobbs in Manuka and then turning to bow to the shocked diners inside … someone called the cops but we were all dressed and breasting the bar at El Rancho by then … ah, great days!

booma, some people should not be allowed naked in public. Or private.

I was dining with an ex one evening, she had been O/s for a year.

We saw a nudie run lope past us and she commented that she finally knew she was back in canberra.

Surely, out of all the MLA’s Richard Pratt would be last one to asking our police to detain a group of children, given his past experiences.

It is unfortunate that a group of kiddies, high on life decided to act in manner that a community finds offensive and threatening. But I think that the police did an awesome job, by moving this group on, rather than chucking them in a paddy wagon.

Besides the people who were naked, had the others actually committed an offence? I doubt being a bit pissed is a criminal offence and unfortunately being a tosser is not an offence either(otherwise we could have locked shit-eating Pratt up long ago). Seems like the cops did the right thing but subtley defusing the situation with their mere presence.

Even if there were some people naked in public, does anyone actually give a shit? I would rather the Police and Courts focus their resources on prosecuting more serious crimes.

And yes, thankfully the characters in question would have had their testes frozen and hopefully will be prevented from spreading their seed in the future.

In case you’re wondering – yes, this bloke is one of the reasons why we have a labour government.

While I commend the mayor-kicking component of pratt’s press release, when you read the whole thing the alarmism and hysteria he conveys is, well, hysterical. And what is it with these councillors and there never ending press releases – explains the scarcity of trees for firewood!

Seems plod defused the situation using common sense and may well have a yarn to the club officials on the quiet suggesting that the pissing episodes etc don’t do the club’s reputation much good and could be stored in the memory for future reference.

When I saw the initial post I thought they could have been bored census form deliverers.

Police inaction on a nudie run – I have no problems with that. The proper punishment for a nudie run in early August is that your testicles freeze and you’re unable to breed. Fair enough.

Police inaction on bottle throwing, abuse-hurling loons, on the other hand, is a bit more of a challenge. Except, of course, it isn’t inaction – it’s getting there and moving ’em on. Crisis averted before anything goes further wrong.

Thumper – can I ask why you think it was not appropriate to make some arrests, given what you said was going on?
(I don’t mean to sound like I think you’re wrong – If memory serves me, you’re far better suited to making a professional judgement on this than me – I’m just curious).

It could be an operational thing:

Policeman to nude guy: Can I have some ID please?

Nude guy: Sure here’s my driver’s licence.

Policeman: Hand on where’d you pull that from?

Nude guy: Sorry, that’s just a bit of last night curry…

I particularly liked:
“It seems that either the police have not arrested these individuals either because they do not have the resources to commit to processing these arrests or they have been curtailed by Stanhope’s human rights laws which ensure the rights of offenders are put before the right of the community to safety.”
In other words, he doesn’t have the faintest idea why the arrests weren’t made, but that doesn’t mean he can’t blame the government for it.

The closing line is a cracker:
“I demand that the Chief Minister, the Police Minister and the police crack down on the outrageous and loutish behaviour that we are seeing too much of in Stanhope’s socialist utopia,” Mr Pratt said.
Anything I added would only detract from the sheer comic beauty of that line.

Do you think they could do it at Kambah shops? Don’t know if I could justify driving across town to see nude nubile young ladies … actually, I’d drive across town if petrol was $2 a litre to see it … well only if the missus thoight I was going to Bunnings…

It would be much more fwapworthy if the raiderettes pulled this stunt. It would certainly improve match attendance if they did.

Now that I’ve actually read the press release…

The Pratt says:

“This shopkeeper was simply trying to uphold liquor licensing laws that prevent the sale of alcohol to intoxicated persons…”

I would say that this chaps biggest concern would have been … Sure, two cases of VB and a bottle of Bundy, that’ll be $100 – hey hang on a minute, where’d you get that credit card from?

Try it riding a bike! Of course the recumbent guys can ride an wank at the same time – now there’s an image I’m going to need therapy to get over…

there is nothing less attractive than a flacid penis

This sort of shit is hilarious when its drunken/stoned undergraduates – but out Charnwood way you’d have to guess it was bogan shit bags … hillarious? Probably not. A good reason for having no safety net on the minimum wage? Damn right!

Anyone who would expose the dangly bits in near freezing temperature obviously has no pride, or nothing to be proud of.
