Things that make you go.......WTF?

The mugshot is on a computer screen, in some photos you see more detail than just his face.

Looking through the variety of comments on Twitter, this case is almost a text book example of how multiple people will look at the same set of information and have very different views, opinions and concerns.

Many people are concerned about the breach of privacy in taking and sharing his photo.

Others counter with the comments that he's a stalker (alleged) and refer to (alleged) breached AVO's and domestic violence and say he doesn't deserve privacy.

The LBTQI etc groups have adopted him based seemingly on the dressing up and alleged request to be called Daniella. I reckon Kurt Russell did it better in tango and Cash. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9g08eyyDDjU

Others are taking the mental health and (alleged) ICE approach.

It's like confirmation bias, everyone picks the bit in this story close to their own heart and runs with that.

very well said Stu, especially the tango and cash bit! i love that movie.

on big footy someone mentioned it wouldnt be news if he wasnt an afl identity, and someone replied with :

"He’d have never had the same prosperity in life if it weren’t for being a former AFL player.

Now if he just was abiding the law he’d be ok, clearly not though."


the dress etc noones business, the alleged offence in an ally is a $1600 social distancing fine, and the stalking, DVO and ice means he is in a whole world of trouble, and clearly, pain. I have sympathy for his obvious mental health problems, not so much the stalking etc.

"Coppers have confirmed it, calling it “one of the most serious breaches of a persons privacy”.

They will already know who it was"

confirmed, i wonder what they take into consideration when it comes to disciplining or sacking him/her

Sacked and charged hopefully!

Lawyers say the dissemination of the photos is a criminal offence under the Police Act, which stipulates it is unlawful to disclose confidential information.

A second cop has been stood down and is likely to face criminal charges.

What's been really good though is apparently a lot of his ex footy team mates are coming out in support.

From what I've read the Ice addiction has been known, and maybe why he didn't seek bail. Stay in remand, can't get drugs. (unless you're there long enough then you can get whatever you want)

COVID-19 parties lead to spike in coronavirus cases in Washington state

Health officials from Washington State in the US have reported that newly diagnosed cases of coronavirus caught the potentially deadly illness on purpose at “COVID-19 parties”.

Walla Walla County health officials say people diagnosed with coronavirus have told county investigators they attended parties specifically organised to spread coronavirus in recent weeks.

Megan Debolt, the director of community health for Walla Walla County, said one of the parties with at least 20 attendees has so far resulted in two positive cases of COVID-19.

Immunity parties, also called pox or flu parties, are sometimes organised so children can catch diseases such as chickenpox from one another and gain immunity to an illness.

The discovery has alarmed health officials, who have been scrambling to contain a large outbreak of coronavirus at a meat processing plant near Pasco which has seen more than 700 workers test positive.

Walla Walla county so far has 94 confirmed cases of COVID-19, and the first of those infected sadly died this week, according to ABC4 KOMO News.

Ms Debolt said while investigating the cases the residents said, “Oh, we were having a COVID party.” She said the county’s health officials are now tracing the contacts of all those who attended the party.

Researchers from Johns Hopkins University have dismissed the effectiveness of immunity parties similar to pox parties, warning that COVID-19 is up to 100 times more deadly than chickenpox. “Some have entertained the idea of ‘controlled voluntary infection’, akin to the ‘chickenpox parties’ of the 1980s. However, COVID-19 is 100 times more lethal than the chickenpox,” David Dowdy, from the University’s Department of Epidemiology, wrote.

Prof Dowdy said that someone who goes to a COVID-19 party “would not only be substantially increasing their own chance of dying in the next month, they would also be putting their families and friends at risk”.

Coronavirus is currently the leading cause of death in the United States, killing thousands of Americans every day. Currently, there have been over 1.26 million confirmed cases of coronavirus in the US and more than 74,000 people have died. According to the University, at its peak chickenpox never killed more than 150 Americans a year.

Ms Debolt said the two confirmed cases have since expressed remorse after learning they’d endangered their friends and family.
