    Thumbs down Fair crack!!!

    Saw a headline about Kenrick Monk and Nick D'arcy today.

    Monk was holding two shotguns and D'arcy was just looking gormless.

    Horrors and disgust!! This is a terrible thing - or so the headline would have us believe!

    What if Michael Dimond and his mate were pictured in the same pose/? Wonder what the headline would be!!!

    Grow up you boofhead reporters!!

    Have we come to believe that anything to do with guns is so bad as to draw this reaction??

    Equal shame on the Olympic officials for their reported reaction!!!

    Couldn't agree more artme, media pumping things up again. The media is all about making money these days rather than just reporting news. Anything to get a headline at anyones cost.

    I rate journos about on par with pedophiles. That journo just reinforces my opinion.

    bring a smile to your face when pushed down the stairs .

    What a $&^$*& joke. Media engaged in social engineering.

    Whilst I think it is all a bit of a storm in a teacup, we can't really blame the media for this.

    Both showed rather poor judgement by posting these photos on their Facebook and Twitter accounts.

    These two really shouldn't be sticking their heads above the parapet and shouting "look at me, look at me"

    One declared himself bankrupt to avoid his responsibilites, the other lied through his teeth about an "accident" he had.

    Talk about stupid behaviour on their part

    As for how the media would react to Michael Dimond doing the same thing. I would think he would have more common sense.

    Didn't he also get ousted and have to fight to regain his standing he I believe was also pulled over by Police and it caused greater problems.

    I see they had the usual [ill-informed] talking heads from "gun control Oz" talking about how powerful these guns were and that anyone associated with guns should be banned.

    Noticed they don't make any comments about any bikies.
