  • Why the man who assassinated Rebels bikie boss Nick Martin has made an extraordinary court appearance. Incredibly, the sniper whose identity is suppressed, claims he doesn’t care who knows his name, despite being a marked man.

    Absolute Bullshit, he was never a trained sniper, I worked with him on a land based drilling rig in the North West in 2017. We were contracting to the company for which he worked as an electrician. Both myself and my mate are veterans, Me in the ARA him in the USAF. Bravo Juliet was a Dropshort with an adrenaline rush fixation. Seemed totally fixated on getting a rush, hence medical support in African countries to base jumping off perfectly serviceable buildings. He was a try hard. HE WAS NEVER A SNIPER!!!!!!! He needed the money and someone offered him big dollars. Anyone in the ARA can take a 300 shot and hit a target. The fact he used two rounds to do it, shows he was shit at the task. He got sprung by sending his weapon off to a civilian armourer for a barrel change, instead of throwing it down a mine shaft like some former rapidly deconstructed ex copper did.

      Was old mate even ex infantry? Lots of jobs in the Army, and plenty of ex servicemen who were clerks and cooks telling war stories so just wondering.

      "The fact he used two rounds to do it, shows he was shit at the task" this is not an actual fact. The journalists, witnesses and Police claim only one shot was fired. The story is that the sniper only had 1 bullet. That throws shade on your other claims.

    You forget to mention that Nick Martin came off his Harley a week before the Bracovich altercation . He limped into that meeting on crutches which were left behind the bar. You can clearly see him limping after that had finished. I played rugby league with Nick in the early 90’s and he was no slouch in the fighting department and was feared by many . He was a prominent bouncer in those days and it didn’t take him long to make it to the top end of town . Google Brackovich he had one kickboxing fight and lost by KO so hardly the cage fighter that Harvey alludes to but don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story. While Nick had put on a few kilos in his older years and had stopped training . In his prime not many would have been able to handle him and that’s why he would have risen through the ranks of the rebels so quickly. RIP mate

    The shooter is an amateur. Taking the gun to a gunsmith to replace the barrel, not getting rid of the shoes he wore on the night.

    Sounds like the guy was a long sighted good sniper. But a short sighted criminal with the barrel left at the gun shop.

    He was military trained. Basic infantry soldier would hit you in the chest from 300m within 12 weeks 10 out of 10 times. Learning to breathe while firing a rifle is pretty simple thing to do.

    I remember the Rebbles parties in the 80s. They were family's that rode bikes. There parties were well organised. All children feed 1st and were all gone by 7:30 at night. Yes anyone could join because it wasn't a gang as much as a club. I wasn't a member but I liked alot of people there they were nice.

    In all honesty at this point in the proceedings the suppression order really serves no purpose. The rebs know the name, some of the public know it and you can be damn sure it is known throughout the WA prison system. The courts really should just drop it and let old mate out of the SHU. Old mate knew what he was doing when he shot Nick and therefore at some point in the future he is going to have to deal with the consequences. Obviously the prison should make him sign a waiver so he can't sue when he eventually gets banged or knocked.
