Our favorite person in the universe Michael Atkinson is afraid of the people in this picture ====== >
In an interview with ABC TV’s Good Game show Atkinson revealed that he is more afraid of Gamers than Biker gangs.
“I feel that my family and I are more at risk from gamers than we are from the outlaw motorcycle gangs who also hate me and are running a candidate against me,”
WTF?
The biker reference has to do with Atkinson introducing tough new laws to outlaw biker “gangs” in South Australia several years ago. He says he is continually harassed by them. If true I would not be surprised. He did completely lie about them saying that the local bike gang used the park grilling pit to cook a cat. He was forced to apologize and retract his statement because:
- It wasn’t a Cat.
- It wasn’t Bikers.
- It wasn’t even done in his district.
So now that he has the rightful rage of the gaming community he says he is receiving more harassment from nerds and geeks than from the fucking biker gangs. Are you serious!? The best nerd rage can bring you is the DDOS attack that Internet Superheroes Anonymous are currently staging as protest of this and other censorship policies of Australia.
Considering the guy has had no qualms about lying to promote his agenda before, I just can’t bring myself to believe him. I’m sure your getting lots of mail, email, and protesters outside your office. The smarter politician would have realized that the people he is supposed to represent do not agree with the policies he is enforcing.
I can’t wait for this douche to get voted out.
Books won’t stay banned. They won’t burn. Ideas won’t go to jail. In the long run of history, the censor and the inquisitor have always lost. The only weapon against bad ideas is better ideas.
