Port Arthur

Port Arthur is one of Australia's great tourism destinations. Every building, every feature of Port Arthur Historic Site has a story to tell.
Created with convict labour, the impressive architecture, delightful gardens and chilling prison facilities survive today for you to explore.
An additional layer of tragic significance was added to Port Arthur in April 1996, with a massacre that shocked the world. Port Arthur's close-knit community was devastated when a lone gunman took the lives of thirty-five people, wounding nineteen others.
The tragedy has become a prominent political milestone in Australia, leading to new Australian gun control laws that are among the strictest in the world.

It was not a riot that took the lives of 35 people in 1996. Refer to the details in the description.

@OzTrackDays haha are you fucking kidding me?

You want to lecture me on valid arguments, then state' Bryant didn't act alone, fact'.

I mean wow, just wow, you are one of those people so fucking dumb they are too stupid to realise how dumb they actually are. Not only that, your inbred excuse for an argument went from Bryant didn't do it, to he didn't act alone.

I don't have to prove you wrong, anymore than I have to prove god doesn't exit. The burden of proof lies with you you ignorant retard.

@gillyssquashball wow - what a valid argument. Critical thinking is for thinkers. Thanks for your input on - whatever it is you where trying to articulate. The bottom line is Bryant didn't do this on his own. Just a fact.

as i said - PROVE me wrong....... you can't. Untrained spastics? - check out your spelling tough guy - your a joke.

[gillyssquashball]

@OzTrackDays My god you are a moron. So because some dickwad from the SAS supposedly says no one an shoot a certain way, that sit is it? Thinking critically is something other people do isnt iot champ?

The way you brainless fucks go on youd think every second Australian was packing a smei auto waiting for the Asian horde to descend upon us. Go and ask your SAS expert how much differnece a bunch of untraiend spastics like you woudl make if Australia was ever invaded anyway

[OzTrackDays]

Hate to break it to you Bryant didn't do it - the Port Aurthur Massacre was the single greatest lie ever told by the Australian government and media (one entity anyway) in order to disarm Australia's. An SAS special forces commander has admitted that they simply couldn't shot that well let alone Bryant - if you want the truth it's all layed out for you - just start searching - you are already in the right place. Don't tell me I'm wrong - prove it.

@SPECIALagentKOOKY yeh mother ufcker totally fucked our gunlaws man.

[shanehey]

If someone kills a bunch of people with a knife do you ban knives ???? Its not the firearm witch commits murder but the person who uses that tool in that manner.

[irishgodfatherchris]

@SPECIALagentKOOKY he would never be hanged because of his mental capacity its like trying to hang a mature age 10 year old

[SPECIALagentKOOKY]
