"Deadly weapons cache seized"

This is yet another sad day for our Aussie friends...:(



Customs corporate spokesman Michael Carter said the matter had been investigated and no one would be prosecuted.

"In this instance, a warning has been issued," Mr Carter said.

"From now on they will be monitored for any incoming or outgoing cargo."

No one prosecuted, eh? What a "priviledge".....

...wonder what they're doing with the "contraband"...?!?


That's gotta suck for both the maker/manufacturer and the buyer.


Well, someone at customs has a nice wall-hanger in his office now...!
 
The saddest may be that many people seem to think
that is a -real- deadly weapon.
Someone trying to use that would probably hurt themselves
before they could hurt someone else.

I've never seen that ugly a prop even in the worst sci-fi.
But maybe I haven't seen the worst.

I guess they'll start registering kitchen knives next.

:rolleyes:
 
Deadly weapons cache seized in daring raid by ATF and SWAT teams
===================================================
an international gang of thugs was apprehended today in a daring raid on their weapons cache and distribution hangout, blatantly operating on Main Street in the downtown city center. Officers confirmed that 4 people were arrested for the sale of weapons of mass destruction, not only to adults, but to minors. horrible fixed-blade plastic knives of well over two inches long were confiscated, along with deadly plastic forks and spoons. informants within the police have also confirmed that the gang was also found in possession of inflammable liquids containing potatoe slivers, as well as boiling hot vegetable substances, possibly containing the newley banned substance 'caffeine' and forensic tests have confirmed the presence of animal protiens and blood of unknown, possibly human origin. this despicable gang was found to be conducting unspeakable rites and cooking up beastly drugs in their laboratory at the rear of there den. they even had a 'drive-thru' window to dispense their terrible products more rapidly. the 'Mc Donalds' gang has been remanded without bail, and has been turned over to army intelligence for further interrogation. there obviosly needs to be more laws to prevent the perpetration of this heinous crime again, like the example of our bretheren in australia. after all, people do not kill people, guns and knives do it on their own.
 
A few comments on this;
Australia's's goverment is freely elected. So the people know what they are electing and can like-wise elect someone else next time. A good number of our elected officials would, and have done the same thing in the US. Just look at some of the laws in NY and CA. The best way to protect your Khuk and other sharp pointy thing rights is never elect anyone who will restrict them. Once they are in, it is very hard to get them out. I seriously doubt if most Australians are going to see this as a problem. As long as every thing else is ok they get re-elected.

That has got to be the silliiiiiest looking deadly weapon I have ever seen. Heading to the street? No street fighter in his right mind would ever carry such a huge bulky unconcealable "weapon" as that. Most likely it was just going to someone's fanatasy knife collection. To be holding it and looking menacing had to be that custom officals greatest challenge ever. LOL
 
That thing doesn't look very deadly. :(
I think the only way to hurt someone with one of those is if you got a fat guy to sit on someone while you poke out his eye with it.

:grumpy:
 
seriously... that thing looks like crap. that being said - that customs agent thats holding it has a smile on his face.

even if it looks like crap, when you hold something like that you dont think "oh my god.... my childen could get ahold of one of these... people might be killed by this... the childen.. WONT SOMEBODY PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!"

you think... man... this things cool!
 
"A FRIGHTENING, multi-bladed knife destined for Melbourne's streets"

Oh, good god.

Believe it or not you could walk around town with that in oregon, as long as you aren't waving it around at people.
Even with just walking I have a feeling that you could still hurt yourself on that.
 
the reporter who wrote that doesnt have the courage to go to iraq and do a real story on real weapons.
That is the reason for the pretend title and sensationalist BS.

That is the major problem. "Making the streets safer from deranged killers with knives" is a major election tactic. Therein lies the major problem: there ain't anyone better to take their place of the deluded, short-sighted, descriminatory sheeple politician in power... Sure, there are a few that do end up running for Office, but they never make it far.

Frankly, your statment doesn't help much. The only way I see it is to fight the government every step of the way, never making it easy just to walk all over us...

I wholeheartedly agree with you there. I have a friend who collects exactly that type of stuff. Sad, very sad.
