    Well well no suprise he has been found to be a liar he was not attacked at all, non White immigrants always play dumb to our authorities just watch border protection and you get an idea of their integrity, perhaps we should rally for protection of freedom of speech laws rather than racial and religious protection laws, I have been saying since the start of the hype on the topic of racial attack that the reports of these attacks are exagerated and racism is just added in to the story by the so called victims to gain legal sypathy.
    I think that peoples freedom of speech is being suppressed by religious and racial villification laws, and that there are many troublemaking ethnic groups that legaly can not be named or targeted because these laws have gone overboard in protecting the right of noon White immigrants over the rights of the White people of the nation.
