Ten years on

[erilyn]

My thoughts are with all those who were affected by the massacre at Port Arthur ten years ago. Thirty five people murdered and eighteen more seriously wounded - I still remember the sheer disbelief and horror something like this could happen in Australia, let alone in a little historic site like Port Arthur.

I don't know how I ended up on it, but a while ago, I came across this stuff - conspiracy theorists who think Port Arthur was a 'psyop' (with Bryant either an agent or patsy) for triggering moves to more gun-control. To make Australia more easily invaded. Made me...incredibly angry (plus, the people couldn't construct a decent argument to save their life).

I thought I'd heard that Walter Mikac got remarried a couple of years ago, and I saw something today that mentioned he and his wife have a young child. So glad he was able to find happiness again after what happened.

I know the freaks you're talking about. I was stuck at a party once with a woman who believed *every word* of that. And detailed it to me. At length.
