Wildlife officers can't get shot of crocodile
October 28, 2010 Wildlife officers have tried to shoot a crocodile that keeps returning to Broome's Cable Beach after failing to scare it away or capture it.
The 2.5m croc has forced the closure of the popular tourist beach on and off over the past five days as it kept returning to an area near the surf club. On Thursday, West Australian Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) officers attempted to shoot the reptile but failed due to deteriorating sea conditions.
DEC officer Sharon Ferguson said attempts to harass the croc away using a DEC vessel had failed and attempts to catch it on Wednesday for relocation were also unsuccessful.
"Because it's such a high risk to public safety we need to remove the crocodile from the area," she said.
"It's not huge but certainly big enough to do some significant damage."
During any further attempts to shoot the croc, police officers would be on board to assess the risks, Ms Ferguson said.
"We need the conditions to be right so we don't wound the crocodile.
"We need it to be a clear shot."
Ms Ferguson said if the croc returned on Friday, DEC officers would again try to remove it.
She said it was not too unusual to have crocodiles pass by Cable Beach but it was very unusual to have one returning day after day.

Freedom Club beats the thugs!
On the 22nd of October the Freedom Club was attacked. While we were reveling towards a world without work, bosses, cops, priests, heteronomy and laws against consensual sex with libidinally blessed black-metal goats, a fasces of youthful, white Ostrayan thugs tried to enter the Melbourne Anarchist Resource Center for a forceful dance of fists. So what did we do? We gleefully fought back of course, defending ourselves and our space with insurrectionary passion and courageous, carnivalesque gaiety! Although we were outnumbered, we sent the thugs running with a flurry of bottles, black flags and flying Manchurian kicks to their heads. Four lanes of traffic were stopped as the pavement became a starry night of shattered glass while a rainbow of flying bottles were exchanged between the thugs and the wild comrades of the Freedom Club. The thugs resorted to racist chimes of “Fuck off Wogs” and suchlike, including a cry of “You fucking Pakis” that turned against them when the cops showed up: the pigs chatted with a High School security guard who had watched the battle, and he happened to be from Pakistan and was offended by the thug’s Ostrayan vernacular. Thus the pigs sped off in search of the thugs who, being all white, and many having ripped off their tops during the battle, would have stood out like impotent semen stains against the fecund black night. If the pigs found them I’m sure they would have berated their sons for having their “white pride” humiliated by “a bunch of wogs,” then given them a friendly lift home!
The thugs cracked the MARC front window, and three comrades were mildly injured. But it was nothing that the joy of sovereign victory couldn’t heal with a hearty laugh and the autonomous self-empowerment gained by defending your turf on your own terms.
It is unknown whether the thugs were consciously politically right, or whether they were just very ordinary white Ostrayans for whom racism is often second nature. If they were not avowed right-wing youth and were just ordinary Ostrayans, the situation is indeed more sinister insofar as they so naturally gravitated towards racist cries and in this represent a swathe of the general population. We were also called “fucking hippies”, even though we do not at all look like ‘hippies’, which suggests that they may have had some idea that we were anarchists. What the hell was a large gang of all white, all male youth doing in that area at that time of the night anyway? Nonetheless, with a varied palette of ethnic backgrounds celebrated in the Freedom Club, we taught 'the Superior Race' of Ostrayan colon-isers a lesson in multiculturalism they won’t forget! Long live left-wing kicks to right-wing heads sing the angry, joyful doves of the Freedom Club!

BOTTLES THROWN AT POLICE
10 Sep 2010
Around 9:45pm police responded to a complaint of about 100 youths causing a disturbance in Forrestfield, WA.
When police arrived most of the youths left the area but as a police car patrolled the street, bottles were thrown at the car, shattering the window and covering the officers with glass.
The officer driving the car received cuts to the face and very small glass fragments entered the officer’s ear cavity.
