Why aren't these thugs being charged?

Last week the Australian police busted a terror ring in Syndey and Melbourne. When the police took the suspects to court in Melbourne for arraignment, the press was outside to cover the event. So was a group of "supporters" of the suspects. These "supporters" were upset that their friends had been busted, so they took out their anger by attacking the press that was there.

The attack was all caught on video and broadcast through the nation. These 20 something thugs attacking, punching, and kicking a camera man outside the court. They didn't even attempt to hide their faces or their actions. They just brutally attacked an innocent man who was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I waited to find out what would happen to these thugs. I never heard anything about it since then.

I found out today what happened. NOTHING. Not a damn thing! No charges have been filed by the police or prosecutors.

They have it all on video tape. It happened in broad daylight infront of the police. It was broadcast on national television. The camera man was seriously hurt. Yet, no charges are being pressed.

Now it gets worse. It turns out these thugs in the warehouse of Wooloworths, a large Aussie grocery store chain. Their co-workers recognized the thugs and are refusing to work with them. They found out that the thugs had called in sick that Monday, but were seen later beating the shit out a camera man. But, Woolworths has threathened the jobs of the co-workers who are afraid of these thugs.

Do you have any idea why no one is pressing charges? Are the reporters afraid of further reprisals. It's very bizarre to have the world's most perfect assault case and to let it drop.

They are being let out on bail, but they have to give up their passports.

And now nothing happens until February.
