David Hicks

Oh this pissed me off today! Grrrrr.

I went to lunch downtown. On the busy corner there was a group of looney-leftist holding their usual protest. The group, Women In Black, stand there dressed in black, protesting war, Iraq, etc, etc. Fine. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I ignore them.

« Attention Australians!

Your passport is NOT a Get-Out-Of-Jail card! »

However, today they decided to take it a step further. Today they made up little signs and taped them to the cross walk buttons so you have to lift their little sign to press the button. Their sign featured a picture of David Hicks, and some gobblygook about how he is being denied his rights, blah, blah, blah.

David Hicks looking innocent

David Hicks is an Australian who was captured by US forces while fighting with the Taliban in Afghanistan back in 2001. He is currently being held in Guantanamo. What pissed me off was the photo they used of David Hicks. They opted to use the nice choir-boy image of him wearing a nice colorful sweater and looking as harmless as a hamster.

David Hicks... the reality

The reality is different. David Hicks was a looser mercenary who fought with Islamic extremists in Kosovo, Kashmir, and Afghanistan. He wanted to kill people, and found the places on earth where he could fulfill is "Rambo" fanstasy. Here is a photo of him with a grenade laucher.

He has become the poster boy of the Australian left. They hold him up as an example of how mean and unfair the US and Australia are. I just LOVE how they decided to a nice pleasant photo of him instead of showing the reality. Gee. Why don't you just go ahead and photoshop a halo around his head while you are at it?

They are bitching about his rights, and how he has become suicidal while beinging held in Guantanamo. Oh poor baby. I'm sure he granted all his victims their "rights" before having fun killing them. The groups of Islamic fanatics he fought with are well known for their complete lack of respect for anyones rights. He has gotten what he deserves.

"Oh... but he is Australian. He is different. He is entitled to his Australia rights."

Cry me a river lady. The idiot took up with a bunch of terrorist running around killing people so he could get his rocks off. He is hanging around and fighting for people who want to destroy everything Australia stands for. Now that he is caught, he wants to wave his Aussie passport around like it is some sort of "get-out-of-jail-free" card.

Perhaps he should have read the fine print on the al-Qaeda recruitment brochure...

People who run off to third-world hell holes to join murdering groups of fanatics who enjoy terrorizing and killing people run the very real risk of having some bad shit happen to them. In particular, you could be killed, maimed, tortured, and/or jailed for the rest of your life.
