Terrific role model
What an absolute load of bullshittery...!!!
Ostracised if you offend the population with words of faith. A statue & community service if you bash a cab driver. Our choice of role models for the kids are going really well. We should be proud.
Was it racism this time or was he just being in arsehole? It may surprise those that play the race card so readily that they ( arseholes), come in every skin colour there is. Only people who don’t believe in equality think otherwise.
He attacks an innocent person and even kicks him when he is down, what a gutless coward. BOOOOO! No more booze if you want no more booos.

Convicted graffiti vandal charged after allegedly assaulting reporters as he left courtAn Adelaide chef who was spared jail after graffitiing nearly two dozen businesses in the Adelaide CBD is charged with assault after allegedly pushing and spitting at reporters as he left court. Allegedly? Magistrate Grasso seems to be an extremely naive member of the magistracy. Haven’t seen this footage or condone violence but, why are reporters allowed to get in your face and shove microphones down your throat? Is personal space a law/right? 🤔 I remember some reporter getting jammed by a car door as the person she was chasing/harassing was closing it!
