Media motives
Sep 16th, 2012 at 10:47pm
 
I wonder if this will get even 1/10th. of the media coverage as the Sydney protests. We all know it won't, but interesting to examine the way the media sensationalise certain events, and almost completely overlooks others, even when one is much more severe than the other.



The Police Minister says she is appalled and astonished by the disgraceful behaviour of teenagers at a party in Perth's south-east.

One teenager was stabbed, and police were pelted with various objects as they tried to break-up the gathering of around 500 teenagers in Piara Waters.

Police say the crowd had gathered at the Southhampton Drive property after the party was advertised on social media.

Some party-goers, who were mostly teenagers, hurled objects including rocks, bottles, bricks and fruit at officers and their horses and dogs.

It took 40 police officers about two hours to disperse the crowd.

An 19-year-old Canning Vale man was stabbed in the melee. Police say he went to the party to collect his younger brother.

The window on an ambulance sent to take the teenager to hospital was also smashed by party-goers.

The injured man was taken to hospital for treatment.

Police have made seven arrests. All of those charged were teenagers, with the exception of a 26-year-old man.

The Police Minister Liza Harvey says she is appalled by the behaviour of the party-goers.

"I think it's absolutely disgraceful behaviour," she said.

"I mean people continue to surprise me with the way that they conduct themselves, I'm just astonished."

Debris left at the site was cleared by a local shire contractor who used a bobcat to remove the large amount of bricks and broken glass from the scene.

Drawing a long bow there with the idiot teenagers.

What's the excuse for the supposedly fully grown adults causing injury, mayhem, waving placards of death and teaching their children to kill?

Unruly youths we can handle, but a widespread religion of death needs to be kept out of this nation.

Without a shadow of doubt, if the forceful dictatorship of Islam ruled the democratic vote here, democracy would be something that we would once again need to oust the dictators for.

If you don't think that Islam has been devalued by the latest thin-skinned exploits, due to a silly two-bit movie that any ten year old could've made, and which would hardly ever been viewed if not for the violent reaction, then....then what do you think?

It's obvious that Islam is, and always will be about forceful control.
The stupid movie (which is most probably far more honest than Islam) has been exploited in an attempt to put Islam on some sort of pedestal that it has never ever earned for itself.

Thats going a bit far dont you think since that kid prolly couldn't even read yet?

The thing is that it was only a few radicals that engaged in violence. Like every time there is any kind of trouble.

Basically we are importing yank radicalness imo. Suddenly australia has all the crap the yanks have and we will have the westboro idiots as well before long.

Spot it was what they were calling for and the reason for the violence that was far more disturbing.

Islamic radicalness isn't an American import. Islam is rooted in a pre-modern, non-Westernised culture that is already radical by modern standards.

They attacked police by throwing stuff at them, the same thing it's claimed the protesters did. The only difference is the Muslims didn't stab anyone first in order to warrant police attention.

I saw a lot of blood coming out of one policeman.

Four hundred people marching behind banners calling for people to be beheaded is another important difference.

Well it is kind of understandable that this would get less attention than the muslim protest in Sydney. Political protests are always seen as more meaningful in terms of media coverage than some random drunken activity by rowdy teenagers. Especially when this particular protest is seen in the light of major international events related to the murder of a US ambassador.

Having said that, the media is certainly not averse to making huge moralistic storms in teacups over 'unrully' teenage behaviour. Remember that Cory guy a few years ago who became an instant sensation over that party he hosted? It happens every now and then - schoolies week is one period each year the media seem to get all concerned about the immorality of our youth.

What you need to understand Abu is,

we don't want your type of religion in this country, its that dam simple and if you don't get that then your simple too.

Your type should pack its bags and just bugger off back to your stone age goat herding woman stoning child marrying shithole country.

We'd rather live with unruley youth as appossed to your doctorine of supression and persecution.

If the gov had any balls at all it would shut the gate to any muslim wanting to come here.

They say history repeats itself, will the world see another event with the Muslims taking the place of the jews?????

Possibly??????????????????????

Tell us what you really think woof.

The Jews and the Muslims are about as far apart as you could get on this. The Muslims riot when you make fun of them. Can you imagine them quietly getting on a train to auswchitz? They will die the way they have always died, in war. Hopefully against each other rather than us. They are getting good at blowing up each other's mosques.
