Wonnangatta murders

[allthegearandnoidea]

Daily Telegraph story about missing couple at Wonnangatta
“The area is notorious for blood-thirsty hunters who often use thermal imaging with their high-powered rifles to shoot at prey from as far away as 800 metres”.
So it’s accepted practice to label hunters as “bloodthirsty”?
All part of the push to demonise hunters and gun owners
Once this language is normalised we’re done for

They have run off together.I turn 60 on Tuesday and I would love to do a dissappearing act and run of with some chick

[womble]

We can pick up chicks along the way.

This has been an interesting case. And, yes plenty of sensationalism and speculation about the case.

Russell and Carol have been missing for over a year now.

There are a few theories.
Hunters shot one accidentally, then the other. The sleeping bags are yet to be found as well a drone is missing.

Runaway lovers, but the bank account have never been touched. They were friends since school.

A couple of shovels were found buy the police but TBO they would be useless for burying bodies, but perhaps for mixing concrete.

There is still 1 white ute unaccounted for that was seen in the area at that time.

The loner, "button man" has been questioned but not considered a suspect.

Here is a link to one of the earlier reports.

I was saddened when I first heard about this last year as I have spoken to Russel on numerous occasions on 2m and HF on the radio .
mystery to me but an acquaintance of mine was one of his best mates even has him completely baffled hopefully a resolution either way will be found soon .

I'll put down my cup of blood to comment on this, even though I'm extremely thirsty atm.

I caught that article and couldn't believe how heavily opinionated, biased and demonising it was towards hunters.

Just another anti gun, anti hunting hoplophobic wack job putting it out to the masses that us hunters are dangerous, despite there being no evidence of what actually happened to the pair.

Oh hang on, look a green hunting arrow, case solved.

Yeah what would you expect from a newspaper mob like that Lefty assholes

Yeah what would you expect from a newspaper mob like that Lefty assholes

I believe that these "lefties" are of a Politically Correct persuasion and would now like to be known as "not assholes, but rectum cavities"

[womble]

Except that it’s the Daily Telegraph , so owned by news corp, conservative/republican media, tabloid variant of sky news.

Not like the Daily Telegraph has ever been shy about it’s political bias. How the f*ck you came up with leftist media is just mind boggling.
Seriously wtf, how many millions did Murdock shove up Trumps ass https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/jun/16/donald-trump-rupert-murdoch-friendship-fox-news


Anyway, kettles boiled, time for another cuppa of blood. I take mine black.

Haha yep ..........
And somebody needs to read everything that all the media in this country Prints it's all left no matter who owns it

[womble]

What are you smoking. Australian media is pretty simple.
If we own it then it’s left of centre, publicly owned and opinionated. Think ABC or SBS. The only other news we can source locally that’s centre left is the Australia version of the Guardian or Matilda online.

Any thing owned by news corp is corporate owned. Think big American corporations telling you how to think, how to consume, denying climate change etc, protect the billionaires, oil tycoons, ogliarchy. And they own nearly everything now. It’s all right of centre. They dominate all the msm.

Anything Fairfax media owns endeavours to be non bias politically and remain centrist. They only source from Bloomberg, Washington post, London telegraph etc. Think financial review, the Age. They don’t do tabloid news, just fact based reporting.

[Larry]

The whole left or right thing just doesn't really apply to Australian politics. Even in the US the way the republicans use the terms does not really fit the two parties. The democrats are not strict socialists like the republicans like to paint them. Both side use tactics stolen from the others ideas. It was Trump who wanted to give out checks to all the population in a hope to win votes giving away money is something that they always try demonize the democrats with and call them communists and socialists for doing so.

sorry womble but MSM is definitely left leaning, the sheer volume of social engineering to the left on MSM is beyond denying. events, sitcoms, dramas, tabloid shows and news, sports, comedy's, and all their panel shows are left leaning and chock full of green and lgbt and womens lib mind programming.

only way to avoid it is have no tv and watch none of their garbage, you know what happens if no one listens to them? nothing. people are people regardless, only difference with MSM is we are having irrelevant, mostly blatantly untrue doctrine shoved down our throats and that of our kids.

[disco stu]

Looks like they've changed the wording in the article, as it no longer said blood "thirsty hunters", just that "hunters often use thermal imaging to xyz...."

[Oldbloke]

Come on. Stay on track gents.

You have to be a long way top the right to claim that MSM is left. Left of ghengis for sure but not left at all, they don't mention socialism or anything? Gay or LGBTI+ people can be consumers, and capitalism doesn't care who buys.

No, there is no left bias in the abc or sbs. It just feels that way, when you're on the right. The libs have wasted heaps of cash trying to discover that left bias in the abc via several royal commissions but they can't find it either.

[womble]

Well said bah,
I’d still insist that any level of social engineering would only come from corporate ownership. They’re just businesses that rely on consumer patronage and advertising.
I don’t see bias in our public media, but the libs do, so what does that tell you
Those c*nts are owned and paid for.

Come on. Stay on track gents.

Yup , I agree with OB

another topic on enough gun forum that’s descending into a left versus right political argument

I think the old couple are deceased, I don’t think it was accidental either. No hunter could mistake and accidentally shoot someone at a camp site.Maybe a nut job serial killer.
There’s no proof , but numerous people disappeared in central Queensland along a particular stretch of highway back in the 80’s . Never heard from again. This couple may be victims of some random nut job . Or maybe they saw something, maybe witnessed a underworld body dumping so had to be silenced
There’s no logical reason for their disappearance

[womble]

I think they saw something they were’nt supposed to witness with the drone.
Someone, i think a small group, had too much to loose. Confronted the couple demanded they hand over the phone and the drone.
The couple refused, things got ugly.
I don’t think serial killer because i don’t think murder was the original intent. Things just escalated and got out of control. Altercation with old bloke led to his death. She was killed as a witness. The crime scene is covered up with the fire.
Sooner or later someone involved will blab, they always do. I don’t think we’re dealing with criminal genius here.
No effort is being spared to solve this one and i thing they will.

That’s a very plausible scenario womble, maybe they witnessed a bikie killing or drug deal with the drone

Hang on , womble. Can you account for your whereabouts........

That's, more or less what I've been thinking.

[womble]

If it's a group, one being the killer, the pressure to remain loyal would be enormous.
State witness could be offered immunity.
So the tension amongst them would be wearing them down. Who will fold first.

The old Bruce hwy aka the horror stretch or the Flinders hwy aka the highway of death ?

[womble]

Flinders https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MhR5WvV9q-0

Wonnangatta has 4 people missing in a radius of 60kms over a 12 month period,
So serial killer, Manon family cult, pumas, still on the table.

It’s the media who are truly the blood thirsty degenerates. It’s the mark of a true coward to be responsible for misery, suffering and death without even getting blood on their hands.
