selective media reporting - again

well, it was nice to see that The Advertiser had a whole front-page spread on how the bikies were involved in the fight at the Parade Food and Wine festival on Sunday, including how parents had to drag their kids out of the way whilst they wiped out half of Danni's Thai Restaurant's stall


oh, hold on a minute, they must have missed that bit.... it's only placed like Garage where that happens (insert sarky smily here)

Link to article please.. This thread is worthless without that for those of us that dont read the advertiser..

exactly my point - there was no article even though there was the violence

i think the point may be chrys that if it had have happened at a nightclub the media would have seized the opportunity but because it was at a street festival they chose to ignore it.

has nothing to do with the new enemy, so why should they report on it.


i think this is a very fair and relevent point to society in adelaide. Therefore the thread is not stupid and shall stay

and having heard stories about what happened as i left about half an hour before hand it wasn't very nice

maybe we should ban food and wine festivals now as well - mr rann is the future of the norwood, food and wine festival in doubt? i think not you two faced political opportunist.

Fuck i know, why donlt we all learn how to knit, watch re-runs of the brady bunch and never venture outside. let me just go find my bubble

well i do need a new cardigan

well and you wonder why everyone buggered off from ITm

Good point Charlotte. Friend of mine was working in the stall right next door and saw the whole thing go down. Ugly, ugly, ugly and just as newsworthy if not more so then any nightclub incidents...

I was there in norwood for 5 mins, i left cos i hate watching drunks, i saw heaps of girls throwing up and i saw 3 fights and the people in the fights looked less likely to be bikers but more the 'classy' types that hang out a savvy.

give me a scummy rave with a few people juicying out than a wine event that has 500 (or higher) people being drunken fools any day.

what really worries me about these events it that their for families.. what does that teach kids, drugs are bad but drinking in the streets is ok... fuk that.

by the way this is coming from the person who's dad set up the first Adelaide big food and wine event here in the 70's.. see what it tought me..

I was there for under an hour, kept getting crushed, smelling nice food, but seeing a lot of staggering drunken people.
One woman Bel and I were following when walking back to the car was swaying dramatically.

Drunkenness, especially violent drunkenness really shits me, badly.

I dont read the "real paper" so wouldnt know what happened with this fest. Though you guys mentioned there were heaps of drunk ppl staggering about the place. Surely there must of been people that were driving under the influence... Were there cops around the vicinity of the event?? Were they random breath testing??

Surely people under the influence on the road drunk are more of a head fuck than a few munted ravers??

i saw no cops, there was a cop van parked in the middle of it all but i saw noone near it...

nor any on the roads around the event..

strange as you would think they would be out in numbers..

selective reporting AND policing.
discrimination!
baah!!

Hmm I would have assumed that they would have been rbt'ing in full force.. guess their priorities are not what they should be at the moment either
