BUT DID THEY PICK UP THE SPARE?
A ten-pin trauma in sunny Queensland:
A jury has retired in the case of two men accused of stabbing a Brisbane teenager 133 times and using his decapitated head as a bowling ball ...
Via reader DP. Who, as it happens, comes from Adelaide.
I wonder if he did this with it? (Bowling link, not decapitation link)

They don’t sound very muslim, mareeS.
Posted by Nilknarf Arbed on 2007 04 04 at 08:57 AM • permalinkThey were disadvantaged, or something, and the degree of their disadvantage, or something, is demonstrated by the severity and depravity of their crime. Because I know the only reason I would do something so horrible is if I had a hugely morally compelling reason to do so, like, for example, if I didn’t have enough money for smokes, or something.
The jury didn’t take too long totalling the score.
Nor did the judge waste any time handing out the pin badges to the winners on the night.
TWO men have been jailed for life for the brutal slaying of a homeless teenager who was stabbed 133 times and decapitated before his head was used as a bowling ball.
After six hours of deliberations, a Brisbane Supreme Court jury this afternoon found James Patrick Roughan, 27, and Christopher Clark Jones, 23, guilty of the gruesome murder of 17-year-old Morgan Jay Shepherd (known as Jay) on March 29, 2005.
A multiple murderer I happened to meet shortly before he was caught sat at a table with a bunch of us on the piss.
We were there (including the murdered girls boyfriend) getting blotto and having a “what id do to the bastard if I caught him” session. I hadnt met him before but he was living with 3 other blokes one of whom was a mate.
I went out bush for a couple of weeks and when I got back Billy was facing murder charges after ringing the cops and slashing his wrists (rumor had it he tried to cut off his tallywhacker as well) but the coppers arrived a bit too soon.
He killed a woman, her son and 2 daughters with a tomahawk and knives and raped the bodies.
Massive quantities of the greens “harmless” mull was involved in that as well.
Made my skin crawl when I first heard it was him, sitting and drinking and joining in the ‘what I’d do’s” with the rest of us….Posted by thefrollickingmole on 2007 04 04 at 09:14 AM • permalink18. geoff
No WA, Geraldton where I used to live. About 20,000 people with a shitload of crime and drugs.
Also down the street (again on the piss) another night when a couple of far right nutters(ANM?) executed one of their members in the driveway about 5 houses down.
Again a crop of that lovely green stuff was the main cause.Posted by thefrollickingmole on 2007 04 04 at 09:29 AM • permalink#12, Nilknarf Arbed,
No, apparently not muslim (BTW, that was a throwaway comment, please pardon my islamophobia) but obviously feral. As thefrolickingmole pointed out in #17, you have to be a particular type of individual to hack off heads and dismember bodies with axes, knives, pruning saws. Who cares what background or branch of the lesser-developed hominid line they come from. Pit-bull terriers get put down for less than that.
very sad all this drink & drug stuff. time was when civilised people could chill with a wee sliffy or a g&t in the comfort of their own homes, with no greater threat to the social niceties than the odd inappropriate pass at someone or a bit of inane giggling or spazzo dancing. these days any old bogan can scarf down 36 tinnies & a bucket bong of skunk & utterly ruin ones party by attacking the guests with a machete. i blame the hippies
#23: “#21 Won’t someone spare them?”
No, they should be racked with guilt for waht they did.

I think the whole thing was a setup anyway.(Poor. Very poor.)
Posted by ThinAndBritish on 2007 04 04 at 10:24 AM • permalinkThe jury retired? How the hell long was this trial,anyway?
Posted by richard mcenroe on 2007 04 04 at 10:27 AM • permalink#31: “#29 More likely a poor delivery on the part of the defense that lead to this foul judgement. “
That’s right. They just didn’t have the balls for it.
Posted by ThinAndBritish on 2007 04 04 at 10:38 AM • permalink#33 My grandfather saw a public hanging in East Texas as a small boy in the 1910’s. He said it made such a vivid impression on him that he was afraid to even think about committing a capital offense all of his life. I am in favor of capital punishment, just not the current means. The lethal injection method gets the job done, but takes away the huge psychological advantage that a gruesome public hanging provided. And I don’t listen to the but its barbaric and inhumane nonsense. It’s an execution. It’s SUPPOSED to be barbaric and inhumane, mirroring the barbaric and inhumane crime committed.
Call me prudish, but this story and the Sear dating link story were unnecessary and do not do credit to this site.
Posted by boxofmatches on 2007 04 04 at 11:14 AM • permalinkWhen I read about barbaric crimes being committed, I want to try the parents of the accused also. It’s their responsibility in making sure the children they rear act in a reasonably civilized manner.
Sure it’s not always the parents’ fault that their son (or daughter) has gone astray. But they usually have a big part in it.

I’m with you KK.I agree that once upon a time one could sit on the verandah, flip one up and enjoy a bout of giggling. These days, giggling is replaced by frowning and deathly silence.
Skunk is certainly to blame and has been brought about by frenetic plant breeding, largely in SA where is has been more or less legal for about 20 years.
Once you then bust backyard bush weed growers, this makes the indoor hydro production of skunk, by serious crims, all the go.
This hydro skunk stuff certainly sends the kiddies quite mad, especially when topped up with a bit of meth, which is available for less than the cost of a packet of winnie reds.
What you see in the sunshine state these days is homeless people, who once would gather around a flagon, scoring a cotton boll soak in liquid meth and chewing on it. Heinous crimes ensue.
The distinction between “a bit of smoko” and “hard stuff” is hardly worth worrying about these days, it all leads to grief.
Once upon a time the hippies would be sitting in a circle, stoned and singing “koom bye yar” and the smackies would be breaking into your house to pinch the VCR. These were the good old days, now iced up kiddies want to kill you. There ain’t no giggling.
But of course now you can get Bundy (make a willie wagtail fight an emu) Rum in cans, just like soft drink.
Understand the “bowler” is being approached by the SA Democrats to run for parliament. Democrat MP Sandra Kanck feels the views of sadist killers are not properly represented in the SA parliament.
“It is a large proportion of the South Australian population that doesn’t have voice in the House,” she told reporters.
Perhaps the perps should have hired MrLefty to get them off?
