A reasonable person would understand that the decent thing to do here is to condemn what is clearly a despicable act and leave it at that. Instead, you choose to try link it to something entirely irrelevant.

I guess you consider your statement which is so contrary to a reasonable response as counterintuitive and clever in some way. It’s not clever at all. In fact, you’ve shown that your moral compass is wildly askew.

Get a life.

So sorry. I should have posted in the thread condeming the youth of today as mindless senseless scum who should be stoned to death. More of what goes around I suppose.

Is that a widely held opinion in the indigenous community? Or just some special crazy you’re bringing to the party?

I wouldn’t know what the opinion of the indigenous community is. You should ask them.

So this would be me own special crazy.

In 1825 Robert Cambell was granted land in Limestone Plains to the value of 1000 pounds and sheep to an equal value, as recompense for the loss of the ship “Sydney”, in 1806. It took sixteen years to negotiate his claim with the Government.

My opinion about him could start here, as in 1806 the Government had appointed him treasurer of public funds, naval officer and collector of taxes. In 1825 he was appointed as a member of the first New South Wales Legislative Council, the same year he employed James Ainslie to collect his “compensation”, the sheep from the government flock and find suitable grazing land in the limestone plains area.

Mr Ainslie made his camp “Pilaligo” and ran Mr Campbell’s sheep on the grassy plains. In 1860 ( It might have been George Campbell) the property was divided into 100 paddocks and was known as Duntroon.

Inside the bend of the river was the main corobboree ground “Pialigo” for all the local tribes. In 1862 they held their last corroboree.

Its probably all just coincidence. Still my “special crazy” makes me think the Campbells desecrated other peoples “special” place.

Wow, this was certainly from left field ……. and had absolutely nothing to do with the original story

That’s simply senseless destructive bullsh*t.

Hopefully they videoed themselves doing it and it’ll surface on someone’s facebook.

Is anyone else on here thinking that vigilantism is the way to go with worthless gutter scum like this? It’s not like they’ll actually be punished if caught.

Interesting, uphold the law by breaking the law.

So, you’re going to hang around graveyards waiting for people to vandalise them?

Good luck with that.

How do you know it was done by ‘kids’?

Because no generation before this one has ever vandalised anything.

Absolutely tragic. Some great Australians are buried here. Part of this cities history was lost last night.
I hope they catch the culprits

My great grandfather Bernard Doman was a stone mason who created some of the headstones at St Johns so it was just heartbreaking this morning when my family heard about the senseless damage done. My fingers are crossed that his headstones were spared so that the next generation of my family can one day share this unique connection with their ancestor. If the law doesn’t catch up with the offenders then I can only hope karma does.

This is horrific…nauseating and utterly infuriating. I initially wondered what could be going through the minds of the vermin who did this, but I’ve decided they simply don’t have minds. No thinking being could do this.

Pretty low act. Even for a totally non-religious type like me, it’s easy to appreciate the beauty and history of buildings like St Johns and the meaning these stones have to families and the community. For shame, punk Bega Flats types.

Personally it would freak me out to destroy graves in a cemetary at night, especially the karma of it all. While I support the condemnation of these individuals, these offenders are some hardened m*****f****rs and most probably the result of some dare or skull and bones type initiation

I sincerely hope they catch these turds. Sadly, if they do, they can be sure of no more than a wrist-slapping.

That’s f***ed.

F*#kpigs. They should be stoned to death with the very same stones they knocked over.

Absolutely disgusting. I struggle to comprehend how even the scumiest of people could do something like this.

Just senseless.
