Was Hogg at the school when it happened? Trying to separate fact from tinfoil. I thought he was at the school but not in the building where the shooting was happening

He said in an interview that he rode his bike three miles to get there once he heard there was a shooting going on

I think he actually got there before the police

Er

Has anyone asked him why he'd ride *towards* an active shooter situation?

I think he was a journalist, he’d write for the school newspaper and things of that nature

Yeah, that don't help his case tbh

Hm? Why not?

A teenager student going to a active shooter situation? What he would do? Take pictures of the bodies?

Also, I don't believe this guy is either sane or even served in the armed forces

ah, but you see, he cares so much about his fellow students he rushed there as soon as he heard

very brave

stunning and brave

yeah, like I said, he seems like the epitome of stolen valor

Which I believe Australian soldiers are no longer allowed to accuse others of anymore

because *bullying*

That's retarded

not 100% if that's the case, but I know it's definitely been debated

I would hate to live in Australia

Calling out someone for Stolen valor is nowhere near bullying

Mfw America is on its way there <:pepe_sad:378719408345841664>

Actually, now that I try to remember it

I think it was something like active service personnel being told that they weren't allowed to post on a facebook group about it

or something like that

```Under the Federal Defence Act, persons falsely representing themselves as returned soldiers, sailors or airmen, or wearing decorations that were not earned, can face up to six months' jail and a $3,300 fine.```

```Rex Crane, 83, who is the former president of the Ex-Prisoners of War Association, was exposed as a fake who allegedly claimed more than $405,000 as a disabled World War II veteran.

But Bill claims such action by the authorities is the exception to the rule.

"If politicians, police and the courts did not consistently fail to enforce the laws intended to protect veterans' and the community's interests, ANZMI wouldn't need to do their jobs for them," he said.

"Those who turn a blind eye to crime are complicit in its execution."

Unless there is a clear cut case of financial fraud, police tend to give military fantasists a low priority.```

@Reaps
Can't disagree with that

Active duty militaries need to keep quiet, specially with all the information gathering you can do over social media

Same for their families

Plus, the laws for Stolen valor seems decent

Oof

When your RAP Senior Constable also turns out to be a Sergeant in the Royal Australian Army

*b u s t e d*

Still got a minute to go on this video, still have nfi how it's going to end

I'm off to bed

"I need your service number"

*silence*

```Police inquiries with the Australian Defence Force confirmed the 41-year-old Ashmore man had been discharged from the army in July last year and had only served as a recruit for two months.```
