SA police officer who stoned wombat to death apologisesIn a written letter, Senior Community Constable Waylon Johncock said it was never his intention to "cause distress". No action is correct it's racism to call hunting of endangeredspecies like seaturtles dugongs Just disgusting. Race should have nothing to do with it. He is a cruel nasty monster who got pleasure out of killing an innocent wild animal. Stop the turtle slaughter too. We are not living the dark ages. The SA police may have enjoyed this nut jobs cruelty, but tens of thousands on social media, know who he is. Have the balls man, to fess up and resign, you should never be a policeman, you're too cruel.

Boy's deadly burst appendix after misdiagnosis a reminder to all doctors, coroner saysThe NSW coroner finds a 13-year-old NSW boy died after his gangrenous appendix burst after twice being misdiagnosed with gastroenteritis. The doctors involved should be barred from practising until they've re-passed their Med School exams. In 2019 there is NO excuse any doctor including a new one should miss appendicitis. This proves that doctors are Not Gods and should not be treated as gods. Always question & if treatment is not working immediately go to another doctor or hospital. Not seeing 'culpability' in the coroner's report. To the lay observer looks like another whitewash not holding anyone to account for this tragic & avoidable death.
