Operation Ironside

Post by on_one_wheel » 09 Jun 2021, 1:35 pm

I love it when a plan comes together.

One of my pet hates is outlaw, lowlife bikers, but that's another story.

Well done to all those involved, the thousands of you for making a serious dent in organised crime.
Some extremely smart work. :drinks:

If I remember correctly NSW changed their law in 1984 because of a bikers shootout that killed a few people. Before 1984 a licenced firearms owner in NSW could display a firearm in public.

Did you check out the additional links at the bottom for the press releases?

They have a bunch of images and videos about what was found and probably the most interesting folder is the eastern command one but all of them have a few photos.

I would post the zip files here but I doubt that works.
I just wanted something here...

Nearly a gig for the zip
When good men and women can’t speak the truth, when facts are inconvenient, when integrity and character no longer matter, when ego and self-preservation are more important than national security — then there is nothing left to stop the triumph of evil

I think its an Owen?

Yes, Owen gun. Still a lot of them about, a bunch of them were found in a dam not so long ago, fairly shabby condition but rebuildable. The sad thing is despite the Police blowing this will make no difference to criminal activity just remove a layer of gronks to be immediately replaced by the next bunch in line. Same as the mob in NYC, remove one boss and the Under-boss steps up to be the new Capo, As for interupting drug supply the amount seized is barely a blip on the drugs radar. Best result from this will be the amount of intel available going forward, Cheers.

As I understand it he currently runs a backpacker dive in Istanbul.

Brings to mind an old Leunig cartoon where a Gypsy woman is sitting despondent in front of her horse drawn caravan with crystal ball etc.

Sign above her says "Business for sale, present owner doomed" :D
