I guess you could say he is a terrorist for OB's political movement or agenda. He killed people to prove that those who cannot afford ipods and cars are not responsible for their actions.

I wouldn't be volunteering. You'd have a better chance throwing something heavy at him, Dundee style.

As regards a few people rushing and overpowering him. They are in a no lose situation.
Throwing something is a good idea.
Same as those people in the plane that was hijacked and headed for the pentagon (i think).

Better to go down swinging.

oceans.b, I see nothing wrong with freedives comments.

As he had no "agenda", ie was not trying to force others to do or not do something , his actions were not those of a terrorist.

Just a nutter.

So, you going to lie under the wooden table and wait for him to pop a cap in you ?
Or shall we join forces and rush him ?

JJJ tell me how you can compare this with a terrorist attack when it was one individual doing it for thrills not a cause?

The definition of a terrorist attack is;

"a surprise attack involving the deliberate use of violence against civilians in the hope of attaining political or religious aims"

Based on what you are saying should have given reason for the US to invade North Korea as he was korean. Why do people like yourself constantly run around looking for excuses to call rascism, biaism or pregudice? It is people like you that is the real reason why assimilation is struggling in society.

The Australian has thrown objective journalism out the window and launched an extraordinarily personal and vitriolic front page attack against justice Michael Kirby. They accuse him of being somehow backwards for being less eager than his colleagues to overturn our constitutional rights in response to the 'new threat.' The only thing they left out is how this new threat has materialised on our shores. Could that be because it hasn't? Is Rupert Murdoch trying to achieve what a bunch or turban clad lunatics from the caves of Afghanistan couldn't - the destruction of our constitutional rights and freedoms? Is it really time to crack each other's heads open and feast on the goo inside? Lets hope our judges don't throw away the traditions that have protected us so well as eagerly as News Corp has.

Times change, but Kirby doesn't

Some quotes:

FOR an exceedingly bright fellow, Michael Kirby does a great impression of someone who has closed his eyes to the changed world in which we live.

Instead of confronting the new reality, Kirby and his supporters have retreated into the comforting world of the familiar. To simply parrot the mantra that terror is nothing new and should be treated by the law just like any other offence is a complete intellectual failure.

When John Maynard Keynes was criticised for departing from views he had previously espoused, he responded by saying that when the facts change, he changed his mind. Justice Kirby, what do you do, sir?

George Bush is friends with a lot of Saudi Arabians.
