I used to live on the next but one block, I had been to the property before they owned it. The whole block was fenced in from the road and the gate always padlocked. The house was a fair way up the drive,so you had to jump the fence and walk a while before you got near the house. I remember as soon as I saw the house I kept yelling out and saying who I was and I found it a bit nerve wracking until the neighbour came out and could actually see me. When they say those officers didn't stand a chance, they were definately telling the truth. It's isolated there and I lived alone but I had a dog that let me know what was going on. I also left my roads rough so I could hear people coming. I am so glad I was out of there before they moved in. There are some lovely people that live in that area and anyone of us would go and check out smoke never suspecting of getting fired on. A very sad day at the blocks.

[@emilyfletcher7124]

I live here in Queensland, and it was wild and so sad watching this case unfold, but slightly muddled in its coverage - you covered this really well, better than quite a few news outlets here!

[@BiggZigg]

~~~ The below wasn't meant to justify what they did or their mindset in any way, this was a comment on the summary/introduction to the town of Chinchilla at the start of the video, that grew quite a bit, as it being a town ruined by the gas industry is/was the most notable thing about Chinchilla, next to it's bi-yearly melon fest. With the mindset of some people being anti government/council it (potentially) made it easier for these people to exist/grow/transform for the worse without being as noticeable as they may have been elsewhere. Some people would say some crazy things (like shooting government/council/gas mining people) quite flippantly, at the pub, in shops, randomly out of no where mid conversation because QGC/Police/Someone drove by, so hearing something along the lines of fighting government tyrany and shooting people, that wouldn't have raised that many eyebrows as other areas. Tara/Kogan/Chinchilla wasn't a forward thinking area, not up until the late 2010s anyway. A lot of hate for anyone outside of their ecosystem/vision of what 'real Australians' and 'real mean' were. Chinchilla is quite an amazing town of amazing people now days, so it's definitely a lot more shocking than it would have been 10 or so years ago. Tara and Kogan are (or at least were, up until 2019 when I left) still quite stuck in the past on a lot of modern day issues. ~~~ I lived in chinchilla for years, you summarised it fairly well, but missed probably the most well known thing, which is it's a coal seam gas town that has been allegedly entirely ruined by companies like Shell/QGC, Origin, etc., with most farm land now allegedly considered unusable due to the gas mining. It has become so bad that allegedly some banks just won't even give out loans using the land as collateral, leaving most farmers allegedly stuck with nothing but dead/dying land. Some context about the mindset out near Chinchilla/Tara/Kogan as late as 2019, though a lot stronger prior to 2016: There is, or at least use to be, all the way up to 2019 when I left, a general distrust for the government/council out there, at least among the actual locals who have been there since before the 'boom' in population caused by the coal seam gas industry coming to town. It was a common enough occurrence to have guns pointed at you or fired over your head when going out of town (essentially if you left town travelling in any direction other than along the the warrego highway) if you worked for, or possibly looked like you could work one of the coal seam gas companies. It was such a common occurance that the mention of it happening and what to do if it does happen would be talked about in QGC Employees first meeting with the 'big wiggs' in Brisbane (but oddly enough not mentioned at all during the application process haha). There were still signs nailed to trees back in 2019 (more than likely still there) that you will see when driving along the roads heading towards Tara/Kogan saying things like "F*** off QGC" and threats of what will happen to them etc. There were/are a lot of cowboys that didn't care at all about peoples land when they were drilling riggs, but the majority of the aggression and anti-social behaviour landed on the people who came well after the damage was done, as the actual culprits were long gone and moved onto another area to set up wells and ruin another lot of land. Some of the stories I heard while at the pub there, things like diesel being poured directly into a hole to clear a clog so to not slow down the completion of a well, you can somewhat understand where the hate has come from. 1000s of hectares (maybe even 100s of thousands) of land allegedly entirely ruined.

well aussie cops are incredibly heavy handed, way over the top as was their covid rules. they do need to learn a social work skills. there was serious child abuse & violence in my family there during that time too. I hate aussie cops, worst in the world. the psyche of the place went very wrong during this time. a decade of scomo, rampant police corruption and a complicit media also. I mean the cops are fire bombing journalists in recent months, the government has been using the terrorist squad on aussie journalists, the Nsw cops are sexually abusing teenagers & manufacturing drugs on scale & laundering the money in full public view. thats not paranoid conspiracy mumbo jumbo. its just whats occurred over recent times, Im not excusing what these people have done, but can you trust aussie cops. do they have the skills to deal with situation like this. No. most of what cops deal with is domestic violence, they are also the biggest perpetrators of domestic violence of any profession in australia.. like is happening in QLD our police need a big shake up. both the corruption & their approach to their job in general.. see Danny Lim. that is on scale everyday. way over the top, no wonder they are hated and feared by ordinary people.

Police brutality and authoritarian governments drive this kind of hysteria. The COVID lockdowns were draconian and fascistic the ONLY thing surprising is that more things like this didn’t happen. In the US they know the government is looking for ANY excuse to disarm the population and the gun owners are responsible. Thats why all gun laws are written in response to criminal acts but only limit legal access.. Governments dont want their populations armed. Thats why New Zealand disarmed after a foreigner took a boat with guns to their island and shot up a mosque. They turned over their own guns like cucks who wear masks when driving alone in the car.
