<p>The rather physically intimidating son, after his apparently unsuccessful mission to get police assistance, was particularly animated and up in the guy's grill.</p>
<p>You are not allowed to completely flip your lid on the street coz someone called you a name. </p>
<p>I don't understand the "you get a pass coz you're a [insert unruly minority] and you are allowed to have magical chimp-out words" line of reasoning. It's not helping and it's becoming tedious.</p>
<p>You are <i>especially</i> not allowed to completely flip your lid on the street coz someone called your dad a name <i>and</i> you'd just walked out of court facing charges of being part of a gutless mob smashing up a business showroom for the most idiotic of reasons. Your dad was yelling a fairly lucid rant, he didn't need any help. My tail would have been fairly between my legs if that was me. Wouldn't feel like yelling at anybody for a month.</p>nick commented on 'FAT KAFF'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef017c335ce6e3970b2012-11-12T09:49:16Z2012-11-12T10:39:22ZnickIronic that Fat Cat just bombed.<p>Ironic that Fat Cat just bombed. </p>The Don has Risen commented on 'FAT KAFF'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef017c3359d402970b2012-11-12T01:30:10Z2012-11-12T10:39:22ZThe Don has RisenI was going to mecca point but thought better of it<p>I was going to mecca point but thought better of it</p>Tony Tea commented on 'FAT KAFF'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef017c335954ef970b2012-11-12T00:04:20Z2012-11-12T00:45:30ZTony Teahttp://aftergrogblog.blogs.com/cricket/Sniping away from the shadows is what I do best.

<p>But now that it's on the table: I thought Mahatma Cote was jaw-droppingly unfunny. Chair-squirmingly bad. And on the blackface front I'm all "Where is all the luvvie outrage? How is he getting away with this?!"</p>
<p>Y'see, luvvies like to be outraged in packs. And for whatever reason all the luvvies were off being eeeequal somewhere else. It never got to a tipping point and Mahatma Cote wasn't run out of town.</p>
<p>I guess?</p>

<p>It's just so racist that we don't even need to think about it any more. Name calling at 10 paces, that's what I always say.<br />

<p>Then at some point the Dutch or Afrikaans picked up on the negative vibe of the word from Muslim traders, and adopted it as their very own.</p>
<p>Aww, isn't that sweet.<br />

<p>I compared Wayne Carey [grovelling apologist] to Shane Warne [oh well, ya get that]. Both sportsmen who got sprung doin' the dirty at very approximately the same time. I'd have to go thru my back collection of <i>New Idea</i> magazine to find the exact dates.</p>

<p>And for what it's worth, I bet Keppler <i>did indeed</i> use the k-word.</p>

Muslim lad charged with taking part in some good ol' rioting and looting of a Bob Jane T Mart shop.... coz a Bob Jane T Mart-sponsored event got cancelled.</p>
<p>Traditional Australian values. Taking to the streets in anger and smashing sh1t up whenever your ass gets bent out of shape. But I digress already.</p>
<p>Outside the court, the lad and his father are walking away being followed by a scumbag channel 9 cameraman. Father says "please get out of our biz" x 100. Scumbag cameraman ignores and eventually calls him a effen "terrorist."</p>
<p>Uh. Oh. He said the magic chimp-out word.</p>
<p>Dad tells his son to go and find a policeman! I watch the footage of his son scurrying off "waaaaaah Mr Policeman somebody called my dad a name!"</p>
<p>Twitter outrage ensues. Cameraman gets sacked. Life turned upside down.</p>
<p>Compare the crimes. Compare the OUTRAGE TO THE CRIMES. Compare the punishments. Think of the impressionable young idiots watching all this, and seeing the power of the magical chimp-out word.</p>
<p>Sticks and Stones vs. Names. People need to harden the fark up. <br />
