Did someone confuse Braddon with south-western Sydney?

WUT??
Seriously, WUT?

Amphetamines are very slimming. Bikie gangs are into amphetamines.

See how it all comes together?

This doesn’t sound right. In Canberra, Rebels MC types traditionally get shot on their knees like dogs.

They’ve just said on 2CC that bikies may be involved. One of them was supposedly wearing a Rebels bandana.

Strange that the police report would not mention the confederate flag bandana…

Was he shot by a young guy with paper bags on his hands?

Anyone else finding it a little hard to believe that two men, armed with a shotgun, just randomly came knocking on somebodys door, tried to break in & then fired their shotgun when they couldn’t.

Surely there’s a lot more to this?
