BOAR THE SIXTH
by The Boar
Okay, fuck this. Let it be known that I have a bug right up my arse!!
The date is the 15th of January in the year of Lord, 2007. I have just watched the news and some banal current affair show and watched in disbelief at the 'hot rod' fraternity cutting loose in Melbourne, and a bunch of fuckwits behaving like storm troopers at the fucking tennis! What the fuck?
Since when do we start looting a fucking video store? Where do we live? Is this some European country that's lost the plot? What is going on with the Victorian police and government? What the fuck is the 'Hoon Act' and why isn't anyone getting the shit belted out of them and thrown in a fucking cell?
Why is it that we can't go to the tennis, (not that I would), without some ethnic hatred bullshit getting in the way of buying a fucking hotdog?
NOW LET ME TELL YOU THIS, IF BIKERS (NOT BIKIES) BUNGED ON ANY OF THAT TYPE OF SHIT THEN THERE WOULD BE LEGISLATION OVERNIGHT OUTLAWING BIKES AS A WHOLE. THERE WOULD BE BODIES IN THE STREETS AND RIDING A BIKE WOULD BE JUST A MEMORY.
Here is a question for you all. Why do we tolerate this behaviour from minority groups? Can someone please tell me? Is it that we are too afraid to tell the truth?
Here's another one. I read in the Sydney papers on the weekend preceding the pleasant viewing of this evening, how a number of aboriginal football teams in country New South Wales are planning on starting a breakaway competition because the normal governing body has barred them. They barred them because of player threats and assaults to officials including referees, brawls and drunkenness in the crowd involving serious assaults etc.
They are claiming racism.
Can someone please explain to me what is racist about basic community expectations regarding behaviour? This is NOT about lack of respect for a culture; this is about behaving like a drunken piece of shit and getting caught out. Don't start crying to me about being a minority; just start acting like a fucking human. And before anyone gets on their high horse bagging me as a racist, my great grandmother was aboriginal.
Again, if bikers behaved like that we'd be fucked. Don't believe me? Well let's examine what happened over successive years at the Bathurst bike races.
Now my good mate Borrie has posted a visual diary of his attendances at the Mountain. Good shit too, I say. You know why? Because I was there, many, many times and the photos grab the feel, dare I say the ambience of the place at the time. There was fun to be had. I know the riots got bad (I was in the middle of them when I was with the TRG) and the result I discuss below, but before that shit got out of hand there was no other place in the world where you could see so many different forms of Australiana in one place at one time. The bike racing was pretty 'sick' too!
Even Borrie alludes to a degeneration of behaviour (there's an oxymoron if I've ever seen one, behaviour - Bathurst bike races), but he was right. It went bad and what did the powers that be do? THEY STOPPED THE FUCKING RACES!
Can anyone imagine the Australian Open being stopped tomorrow? Granted there was a variance in level of behaviour but I'm sure you understand the concept. Bikers will always get the rough end of the pineapple because we are not politically acceptable, not a group that acts in unison to affect elections (the 'I don't give a fuck' syndrome) and don't present any threat to the moderates who hate us and run the country.
Let's go back to the hot rodders in Melbourne. Shit, I felt sorry for the few cops that were there, what the hell could they do? Now if we are to believe even 50% of what the press tell us, the intelligence holdings relating to that incident were current and voluminous. Why is it then that someone with an ounce of common sense didn't send hundreds of cops into the place and sort that shit out? There are plenty of organised events where you can take your hotted up Commodore to and burn out a perfectly decent set of tyres whilst listening to house music, playing with the gold chains around your neck and running your fingers through the product in your hair. But no, lets just take over a suburb, video it, get a fat you can crack diamonds on bagging the cops, loot stores, post it on the internet and generally behave like retarded fucking simians. I'm fucked if I know.
And don't think the 'white man' is above this type of bullshit behaviour. My favourite incident describing human nature to a tee follows.
We got call to a property dispute, typically a common job where family members or neighbours are behaving like children and not sharing. When we arrived there is a group in the front yard doing the tug of war shit over numerous items of furniture and electrical goods. Shouts of "It's mine, fuck off." "He said I could have it", "I got it first" permeated the air. After restoring some semblance of order the exchange went something like this:
Long suffering cop, "What the fuck are you lot arguing over? What is the go with this property?"
Petulant relative number 1 says, "Dad said I could have it when he died."
Petulant relative number 2 says, "No, fuck off he said I could have it."
Scene degenerates as all ten or so petulant relatives start squawking again.
Order finally restored.
Long suffering officer, "Okay, how long ago did your dad die?" (Thinking about all issues relating to probate of the will etc.)
The entire group looked at each other, and then all looked at the house. Main petulant relative states, rather sheepishly, "Well, he's in there now."
The poor old bastard has died watching television while all his ungrateful inbred bastard children are there.
Basically they just roll him out of the way and start stripping the house out. The only thing they didn't take was the chair he was sitting in, and only because he'd pissed himself when he suffered a coronary occlusion and died. I'm sure one of them would have waited until the piss dried and came back later to get the fucking chair as well.
Do not tell me the human race is worth saving.
At the end of the day I don't give a fuck what your culture is, what your ethnicity is or what your religious or political beliefs are. Our differences make life interesting.
When I was doing the business out on the street I would defend your lawful right to live your life in peace. But don't jam your beliefs down my throat, don't make my streets unsafe to live in, don't threaten my family, don't steal or damage my shit and then we'll surely all get along. I don't give a fuck whether you pray nine times a day, worship the sun, sacrifice goats (as long as they're not my goats) or like walking around with your doodle hanging out (again in your home or one of those cool beaches we all accidentally end up on.)
It's all about respect and don't tell me that respect in some form or another doesn't exist in every culture.
I'm sure there will now be chest beating, new laws, social comment. Shit, some genius on the current affair show claimed that behaviour as exhibited was as a result of the parents failing to teach their children respect for the law!
Well fuck me, what a genius!
I recall driving through a certain area in South Western Sydney one day. Just slowly patrolling, trying to protect those sheep that lived in that area from the wolves that also occupied the ground. I pulled into a street and there was a young female child, wouldn't have been any older than about five. Had the dirty little face, runny nose, carrying some torn half to pieces cabbage patch doll, no shoes but with the face of an angel. She was watching me like a cobra would watch a mongoose.
"Hello, how are you today?" says I with my most charming Boar smile.
"Mum, fucking cops!" was the shouted reply, not at me mind, at the house behind her.
Next response was for me:
"Fuck off pig cunt." That line was delivered devoid of all emotion, as though it had been rote learned, as though it had been programmed into her childlike brain so it became almost a Pavlovian response to any approach from police.
I just couldn't find a reply.
Now I'm going to have a sit down in the dark and think about life and how young cops these days with no legislative support, no managerial support and no community respect are going to protect that same community who generally treats them with disdain.
Maybe I can write another blog soon that doesn't result in my laptop being thrown across the fucking room.
And, just for the record I haven't had a chance to take my bike for a ride for over a week. This may explain my black attitude and I promise I will take her out soon and give her the sound thrashing she so richly deserves.
