My friend (F) has been targeted with threats online because the (M) is accusing her of being trans. Transphobes claiming to be protecting women are the very people threatening women. It's all about toxic masculinity and insecurities.
I’ve read stories about how back in the 1980s Australian gay men were beaten up, taken from the streets and thrown off cliffs into the ocean and then when the bodies would turn up law enforcement would dismiss it as suicides. Even by account of some men who survived the beatings, cops would see these beatings going on and go about their business unfazed by it.
Psychopathic behavior has become so common (and in some cases, so eagerly celebrated) that it's being elevated and elected to the highest political positions in society. What the hell has happened to us?
That's so sad. Reminds me of what used to happen in the 70s early 80s, so many gay friends got beaten up and were in fear of their lives every time they went out. Hunger for fame on social media has a lot to answer for.
The police set up a Strike Force back in April this year & have been investigating and arresting the perpetrators. Several different gangs have been identified and arrested. Disappointed that was not mentioned at all in this video.
Sadly, this isn’t new in Australia. I live in South Australia, am 37 and am gay myself. Back in the mid 90s there was a group led by a man called John Bunting who went on a serial killing spree in Adelaide and their justification was that the people were “pedophiles”, which I believe only 1 of the 12 victims (including 2 females) actually were. Was known as “Snowtown killings” or “The bodies in the barrels”, hell I still live a 5 minute walk from where they buried 2 of the bodies. The manosphere aren’t particularly deep thinkers. Only takes a couple of brain cells to rub together to see one person and reach the conclusion that everyone else with a similar trait is the same.

NO! Guys, please. This is all wrong. The hunting of other people FOR ANY REASON is beyond sadistic and sick! What the HELL are you flapping your lips about here? Hunt priests instead? REALLY? I thought you were smarter. I'm terribly disappointed in this dialogue.

I feel sorry for the victim's in this case and wouldn't want to laugh at their expense. The perpetrators are brainwashed and afraid of what they don't know or understand. The fear they carry is indirectly shoveled out at people who don't deserve it.
...I swear there was a plot like what John described that happened here... but it wasn't TEENS who did it. And for that matter, WHY?! Whatever happened to "evidence, not prejudice"? But it further sustains my belief that it's easier to fear a bigot than a gay man.
Right, there was. Monkey see, monkey do. Just an excuse for violence and robbery and just plain criminal behavior and horrific indecency.....and that modern era even coveted substance of notoriety.
It was on the news, but not recently. The thing is that crimes against people meeting on dating apps have gone up in general but this case was particularly vicious
I'm pretty sure that even if they got these "confessions" on video, any reasonable court would see that this was done under duress and inadmissible at trial. Then the defendant could sue these bastards into oblivion.
Eastern australia needs to be more like western australia, perth is awesome and very inclusive. Saw teenagers stopping and giving food to homeless people, several times.
@margaretlumley1648 No, I only was visiting, but probably like every where there's a-holes. But what i saw for the most part it is very inclusive and caring for the most part.
Please don’t judge eastern Australia by a few people who think they’re tough. Remember Sydney has the gay and lesbian Mardi Gras every year. We are very accepting of all people. Unfortunately, just like anywhere else, we have idiots too.
"eastern Australia" has state and territory divisions, you know. This is being reported in _SYDNEY,_ which is not to say it doesn't happen in Queensland, Victoria, Tasmania or Canberra - I'm certain it does, just as I'm certain you could find homophobic violence on the streets of Freo any day of the week. I'm not gay, but I remember being threatened by morons from Albany to Kunanurra.
Now tell me this type of behaviour doesn't go on in the US. I'm not saying it isn't criminal and totally unacceptable, but why highlight something that takes place on a very small scale in Australia when the US experiences the same type of behaviour? In the US it is most likely on a larger scale with a higher rate of murder attached to it because of the prevalence of guns there.
Don't get all sensitive. I'm Australian, too. It's very valid criticism. Australia is extremely racist and homophobic at times, and it's legitimate to point that out.
Evil little toads. Homosexuality is no longer a crime in any Australian state. Sadly, American social media celebrates incels and their abhorrent anti-social behaviour so kids who don't think for themselves are easily swayed by weird cults.
First, did you skip over the first sentence in the video where he says that for once these actions did not take in the US, so upfront admitting that it does happen a lot here? Second, it is abhorrent and should be called out wherever it happens. I don't see a problem here except one of your own making.
They literally talk about this type of thing in the US all the time. John LITERALLY said at the start of the video how America is not the only place where this type of thing happens, providing a clear indication that it goes on in US as well and that he wasn't singling out Australia. Pay attention.
@@coltaine503 It is just sensationalism and not worthy of international coverage. Why didn't they do the story on this problem in the US. Americans should focus on the problems in their own country first and foremost. The US is a mess on so many levels that those issues should keep these channels fully occupied and then some.
I appreciate a Strike Force being set up. I wonder how it’s going 6 months later, or is it stuck in legal red tape, where the rule of law goes nowhere for the ordinary guy, but gets fully activated with extras, for CEOs. Soz, I’m feeling jaded. Women should run countries.
Completely denigrated the seriousness of this type of hate crime. Though like my fellow Australians, I have seen no news coverage (not that that in itself should be surprising with conservative ownership of all media here in Australia) of this happening and doubt the credibility. How did you come upon the story? You gave no useful resource to be able to follow up. Now I must doubt your truth telling. Bugger
The perpetrators were literally extremist muslim youths involved in terrorism. It's related to that stabbing attack on the priest earlier in the year. Not that this channel will ever mention that.
Which American is ridiculing crime on this page? It's terrible anywhere people are attacked for simply existing. The US is an insane country, imho, and I hate it here.
Australia has a giant serial killer story that is just like this! The serial killers obviously went one step further with murder but exactly the same! Chasin down gay ppl and accusing them of ped and then self justify murder. I can’t remember the names but it was 2-4 killers with 1 killer at the center.
@ hmm that could be it, I know it as the “Bodies in Barrels” but I didn’t fact check anything hehe google is one click away, but my brain is telling me to put the phone down and get back to work! 😂
Australia has some pretty horrific crimes… I can think of 5-6 right off the top of my head. All countries have sick and violent murderers. I am not saying that you’re wrong about the coverage but the horrific part is just factually incorrect.
So your saying you guys don’t give a shit about crimes in your own country, you’re too preoccupied with what’s going on in America? That doesn’t really affect you?
um Vigilantes suggest that the gangs involved have a moralistic integrity - these c%^ts are trapping innocent people and bashing them or blackmailing - it is nothing but base thuggery from the lowest of the low
So one time some kids in one town did something bad our kids don't shoot each other and our schools don't have metal detection at the front door this is bs
As an Australian I had to look this up as I’d never heard about it. There is only one recent reporting of this in a couple of newspapers…what I did read was that it more to do with dating apps and men luring people. As a straight woman I have had nil positive experiences regarding dating apps and deleted them…the men wanted to be in total control (I was also stalked on a couple of occasions and one man attempted to force himself on me) so there seems to at least be that in common. I choose to be single these days. Teens are also acting out all over the world thanks to social media so please don’t target our country when in the US there is gun shooting/knife stabbing occurring on more than a daily basis. My TH-cam feed is inundated with car chases, shooting, knife wielding, SA’s, incest, family massacres etc that are all in the US (oddly there are more in Florida, Wisconsin, Ohio and California). It makes no sense that you are even reporting on this when there is sooooooo much more going on in your own backyard rather than projecting on other countries…🤷🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🙄🤔

Your guest had nothing constructive to say so he came with such ridiculous claims and twisted logic. It means all the people who train in combat sports and all the soldiers are gay thanks to his brilliant mind.
As a former soldier I can confirm that homosexuals are disproportionately drawn to the military and there's definitely a lot of homerrotic pageantry involved in mma
Have not seen this story in Australia since the 80's. Absolutely nothing on current Australian news media to say this story has any credibility at all. 🇦🇺
yeah this is the first i've ever heard of this, don't see it being credible. i would believe the Queensland underage gangs stealing cars and breaking into homes. but none of this shit. this is an attempt at Americans trying to make themselves on a higher morale horse when kids over there can't go to school without being shot, not to mention the huge education problem that is evident in America, especially depicted from the hosts of the video
@muzz1105 you lazy Murdoch-licking asshat ; 1 google search will find you "Gay-bashing teen gangs in wave of Sydney attacks", Sydney Morning Herald, Perry Duffin, December 11, 2024
The perpetrators were literally extremist muslim youths involved in Islamist terrorism. Given the almost complete absence of Muslims in Australia in the 1970s, your comment seems kind of weird.
If that's not a photo of an indicted person between the ages of 18-19* in the thumbnail then it's unnecessarily vilifying hoodies. From Hoodezfield obviously... ... ... also: *illegal to identify teenagers of other teenages.
Take this for what it’s worth…. From my perspective, y’all have gone from left leaning counterculture, to clickbait tabloid. I’m done and unsubscribing.
So since it's been going on for the last 60 years that make it less worth talking about? Seems to me like that in and of itself is a headline! Besides, I know a little about the incidents from the 80s and one of the most well-known victims was an American. His brother has been trying to get justice from the Australian government ever since and only recently got them to take anyone to trial. So I'd say it's pretty relevant even if you don't like once instance of not being able to feel superior!
It is funny, these "alphas" run around pretending to be strong in groups of men, and in many cases act out in h/o~m_o-ero'tic ways. The funnier element, they're pretending to be "alphas", but don't know the first thing about treating a women with respect, dignity or helping her feel good about herself. It's all ironic.
@@therumjiggler6879I'm a 45 year old heterosexual man and I have never once decided to be attracted to women or not attracted to men. You're telling on yourself and don't even realize it, son.
Glad you highlighted, makes one think, but, it kinda backfired. Mob rule happens but its not the way, its wrong on so many levels. Social media is normalising it,
While those events are terrible it should be put in perspective. Sydney has the gay and lesbian mardi gras each year. Australia also has a homicide rate only about a fith that of the US. Could Australia do better, well everywhere could do better.
I'm Aussie hetero male. Why are you minimalising this ? Why be an apologist for gay bashing or try to normalise it ? We should be concerned. And what does the existence of the Mardi Gras or the homocide rate have to do with it ?
If your meaning is to say that you feel this makes Australia seem more violent than it really is, perhaps rewording your thoughts is needed. Because it sounds like your dismissing these events as nonviolent muggings.
The perpetrators were literally extremist muslim youths involved in Islamist terrorism. These guys were caught in the fallout from the priest-stabbing in Liverpool. Not that this channel will ever mention that.
No, my sad sad little friend, it's the ideological right creating a culture war to distract fools like you from real economic and political problems that they _say_ they've got easy answers for by hand-waving to a nostalgic view of the past. Worked for Himmler, is currently working for the Murdoch-owned media, because regressives are fools who don't look at history.
As a gay man I agree. Acceptance of the gay community has dropped significantly as a result of non-binary nonsense, which in itself is homophobic, binding itself to our community. What people are failing to understand is that these bigots are like fleas, they just need the right environment to hatch and the frustrations with the aggressive far left have created such an environment.
As an Australian, this is the first I've heard of it. It's shameful, disgusting and truly disturbing.
Hon, sadly, it's been going on in one form or another for decades. I knew guys who'd do that shyte.

It's part of a social media trend now? This is raising questions of just how few people should be allowed to have any accounts on any such sites.
NO! Guys, please. This is all wrong. The hunting of other people FOR ANY REASON is beyond sadistic and sick! What the HELL are you flapping your lips about here? Hunt priests instead? REALLY? I thought you were smarter. I'm terribly disappointed in this dialogue.
Australian here and I’m hearing about this from John. Not Surprised Anymore
The perpetrators were literally extremist muslim youths involved in terrorism.
It's related to that stabbing attack on the priest earlier in the year.
Not that this channel will ever mention that.
I feel sorry for the victim's in this case and wouldn't want to laugh at their expense. The perpetrators are brainwashed and afraid of what they don't know or understand. The fear they carry is indirectly shoveled out at people who don't deserve it.
...I swear there was a plot like what John described that happened here... but it wasn't TEENS who did it.
And for that matter, WHY?! Whatever happened to "evidence, not prejudice"? But it further sustains my belief that it's easier to fear a bigot than a gay man.
Right, there was. Monkey see, monkey do. Just an excuse for violence and robbery and just plain criminal behavior and horrific indecency.....and that modern era even coveted substance of notoriety.
This actually started in the USA.
I live in Australia and haven't heard anything about this.
It was on the news, but not recently. The thing is that crimes against people meeting on dating apps have gone up in general but this case was particularly vicious
There's been this issue with Canberra where they use Grindr to find a gay man to violently assault.
I'm pretty sure that even if they got these "confessions" on video, any reasonable court would see that this was done under duress and inadmissible at trial. Then the defendant could sue these bastards into oblivion.
Eastern australia needs to be more like western australia, perth is awesome and very inclusive. Saw teenagers stopping and giving food to homeless people, several times.
Agreed, WA is awesome
Have you lived in the western suburbs?
@margaretlumley1648 No, I only was visiting, but probably like every where there's a-holes. But what i saw for the most part it is very inclusive and caring for the most part.
Please don’t judge eastern Australia by a few people who think they’re tough. Remember Sydney has the gay and lesbian Mardi Gras every year. We are very accepting of all people. Unfortunately, just like anywhere else, we have idiots too.
"eastern Australia" has state and territory divisions, you know. This is being reported in _SYDNEY,_ which is not to say it doesn't happen in Queensland, Victoria, Tasmania or Canberra - I'm certain it does, just as I'm certain you could find homophobic violence on the streets of Freo any day of the week. I'm not gay, but I remember being threatened by morons from Albany to Kunanurra.
This is a Aussie thing which has been going on down hear for ever,at least the cops have stopped doing it,not knew,is pretty normal down hear.
*here
Now tell me this type of behaviour doesn't go on in the US. I'm not saying it isn't criminal and totally unacceptable, but why highlight something that takes place on a very small scale in Australia when the US experiences the same type of behaviour? In the US it is most likely on a larger scale with a higher rate of murder attached to it because of the prevalence of guns there.
Don't get all sensitive. I'm Australian, too. It's very valid criticism. Australia is extremely racist and homophobic at times, and it's legitimate to point that out.
Evil little toads. Homosexuality is no longer a crime in any Australian state. Sadly, American social media celebrates incels and their abhorrent anti-social behaviour so kids who don't think for themselves are easily swayed by weird cults.
First, did you skip over the first sentence in the video where he says that for once these actions did not take in the US, so upfront admitting that it does happen a lot here? Second, it is abhorrent and should be called out wherever it happens. I don't see a problem here except one of your own making.
They literally talk about this type of thing in the US all the time. John LITERALLY said at the start of the video how America is not the only place where this type of thing happens, providing a clear indication that it goes on in US as well and that he wasn't singling out Australia.
Pay attention.
@@coltaine503 It is just sensationalism and not worthy of international coverage. Why didn't they do the story on this problem in the US. Americans should focus on the problems in their own country first and foremost. The US is a mess on so many levels that those issues should keep these channels fully occupied and then some.

We are surrounded by conservative media like a fish in water. That phrase has disappeared. If you ask him, I’m sure he would say he never heard it.

Not that this channel will ever mention that.
I appreciate a Strike Force being set up. I wonder how it’s going 6 months later, or is it stuck in legal red tape, where the rule of law goes nowhere for the ordinary guy, but gets fully activated with extras, for CEOs. Soz, I’m feeling jaded. Women should run countries.
We both know nothing will happen; our police force is stacked to the brim with fascist bigots, they won't be arresting their own children.
Completely denigrated the seriousness of this type of hate crime. Though like my fellow Australians, I have seen no news coverage (not that that in itself should be surprising with conservative ownership of all media here in Australia) of this happening and doubt the credibility. How did you come upon the story? You gave no useful resource to be able to follow up. Now I must doubt your truth telling. Bugger
They video taped their crimes and posted it.
Imagine how bad it would be if they had guns...
That's because it's a BULLSHIT story and they don't have the guts to show their "sources"

this has happened in the US, like a few weeks ago. as far as I know the person was actually just gay. he wasn't even a pedophile
how can an American ridicule any weapon crime just makes me sick
Which American is ridiculing crime on this page? It's terrible anywhere people are attacked for simply existing. The US is an insane country, imho, and I hate it here.
This doesn't count as terrorism in Australia?
Australia has a giant serial killer story that is just like this! The serial killers obviously went one step further with murder but exactly the same! Chasin down gay ppl and accusing them of ped and then self justify murder. I can’t remember the names but it was 2-4 killers with 1 killer at the center.
I think you are referring to The "Snowtown Murders".
@ hmm that could be it, I know it as the “Bodies in Barrels” but I didn’t fact check anything hehe google is one click away, but my brain is telling me to put the phone down and get back to work! 😂
As an Australian this crime won’t be noticed cause American crimes are more horrific and has more media coverage
So, does US violence just dominate world news?
@longQ1551 As an Australian, I say this is bollocks. Like most of our countrymen, you want to gloss over home-grown crimes.
Australia has some pretty horrific crimes… I can think of 5-6 right off the top of my head. All countries have sick and violent murderers. I am not saying that you’re wrong about the coverage but the horrific part is just factually incorrect.
So your saying you guys don’t give a shit about crimes in your own country, you’re too preoccupied with what’s going on in America? That doesn’t really affect you?
Vigilantes are problematic.
um Vigilantes suggest that the gangs involved have a moralistic integrity - these c%^ts are trapping innocent people and bashing them or blackmailing - it is nothing but base thuggery from the lowest of the low
It's a tactic used often in Russia, amongst others

Wondering same
Sadly not fake mate SMH had a story on it from 11 dec 2024
A mob of kids here in Perth did it a coupla times a few months back. They all got busted anyway.
So one time some kids in one town did something bad our kids don't shoot each other and our schools don't have metal detection at the front door this is bs
Wait…. We’re they actually looking for underage boys? Or are you just repositioning the story as though it’s false premise? Big difference
As an Australian I had to look this up as I’d never heard about it. There is only one recent reporting of this in a couple of newspapers…what I did read was that it more to do with dating apps and men luring people. As a straight woman I have had nil positive experiences regarding dating apps and deleted them…the men wanted to be in total control (I was also stalked on a couple of occasions and one man attempted to force himself on me) so there seems to at least be that in common. I choose to be single these days. Teens are also acting out all over the world thanks to social media so please don’t target our country when in the US there is gun shooting/knife stabbing occurring on more than a daily basis. My TH-cam feed is inundated with car chases, shooting, knife wielding, SA’s, incest, family massacres etc that are all in the US (oddly there are more in Florida, Wisconsin, Ohio and California). It makes no sense that you are even reporting on this when there is sooooooo much more going on in your own backyard rather than projecting on other countries…🤷🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🙄🤔

Your guest had nothing constructive to say so he came with such ridiculous claims and twisted logic.
It means all the people who train in combat sports and all the soldiers are gay thanks to his brilliant mind.

Have not seen this story in Australia since the 80's. Absolutely nothing on current Australian news media to say this story has any credibility at all. 🇦🇺
yeah this is the first i've ever heard of this, don't see it being credible. i would believe the Queensland underage gangs stealing cars and breaking into homes. but none of this shit. this is an attempt at Americans trying to make themselves on a higher morale horse when kids over there can't go to school without being shot, not to mention the huge education problem that is evident in America, especially depicted from the hosts of the video
It was on SMH 2 weeks ago.

It's been happening sunce the 1960s...minus the online factor....Nothing happening in the USA at the moment John🤔??
So since it's been going on for the last 60 years that make it less worth talking about?
Seems to me like that in and of itself is a headline!
Besides, I know a little about the incidents from the 80s and one of the most well-known victims was an American. His brother has been trying to get justice from the Australian government ever since and only recently got them to take anyone to trial.
So I'd say it's pretty relevant even if you don't like once instance of not being able to feel superior!

It is funny, these "alphas" run around pretending to be strong in groups of men, and in many cases act out in h/o~m_o-ero'tic ways. The funnier element, they're pretending to be "alphas", but don't know the first thing about treating a women with respect, dignity or helping her feel good about herself. It's all ironic.
It’s funny because being gay isn’t real, it’s a choice, a very funny choice .

Social media is normalising it,
While those events are terrible it should be put in perspective. Sydney has the gay and lesbian mardi gras each year. Australia also has a homicide rate only about a fith that of the US. Could Australia do better, well everywhere could do better.
and your point ?
I'm Aussie hetero male. Why are you minimalising this ? Why be an apologist for gay bashing or try to normalise it ? We should be concerned. And what does the existence of the Mardi Gras or the homocide rate have to do with it ?
If your meaning is to say that you feel this makes Australia seem more violent than it really is, perhaps rewording your thoughts is needed. Because it sounds like your dismissing these events as nonviolent muggings.
Can I get a source on that "fifth" assertion? Unless you've forgotten where you learned it, obviously.
Okay, well, look what just happened in montreal...
Fake news.

Worked for Himmler, is currently working for the Murdoch-owned media, because regressives are fools who don't look at history.
@@williamchamberlain2263👍🇦🇺
People are sick and tired of wokeness so now they're fighting back
As a gay man I agree. Acceptance of the gay community has dropped significantly as a result of non-binary nonsense, which in itself is homophobic, binding itself to our community. What people are failing to understand is that these bigots are like fleas, they just need the right environment to hatch and the frustrations with the aggressive far left have created such an environment.
