Charly Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 Saw something about the Hoon Squad is on (Again) this week on today tonight (I think). just some falcodores chucking skids in industrial areas from what I could see. Despite the fact that today tonight is truly the finest incarnation of trash media it might be interesting to watch just to see how many more of our rights they've clamped down on in the last two weeks. I am also interested to see what bad press this might be for import drivers. I mean really who the hell goes out chucking skids in industrial areas at two in the morning anyway?

NismoGirl Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 I think there is also another report on Today Tonight tonight (Monday) with some footage on hoons as well. These shows always create the best stories. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/42929-the-hoon-squad-on-aca/#findComment-876127 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexus9 Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 yes nothing like a press "beat up" for a big "beat down" by the cops for the next few following weeks Meh Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/42929-the-hoon-squad-on-aca/#findComment-876237 Share on other sites More sharing options...

NismoGirl Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 Even though that story tonight on TT on channel 7 was in Victoria, it was good to see that today tonight actually had real footage of illegal activities. I agree with that type of scenario, doing shit like that around people who are in close proximity. That's when people get killed by someone loosing control and killing a by stander. I'm just glad to see actual footage of real illegal activities instead of the normal footage they show and the controlled burnout competitions they add if for some footage.

NismoGirl Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 who cares....half the shit is re-runs from other stories they have done..... You obviously didn't watch it? What I meant in my post before was that they didn't re-run footage they had already used as per many times before. All the stuff they showed tonight was new stuff that hasn't been shown before, actual footage of illegal activities.

Charly Posted June 7, 2004 Author Share Posted June 7, 2004 sorry My bad it was TT. What I learnt was that if you don't want unwanted police attention don't go to the same industrial estate four weeks in a row with a couple of hundred people and chuck burnouts in the same intersection only a few meters away from spectators. Didn't see any imports so I guess that's no bad press for us.

Bobjones Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 Any press is bad press...if you have a modded car you are no longer a CAR ENTHUSIAST, you are now a HOON... Gone are the days when you merely had Bogans and Rice burners, now everyone is classified the same...why cause the few bad eggs spoil it for the masses and remember how much your mum chucked a mental when you tried a smoke... Well times that by a couple of hundred thousand and you have the dosile public of Australia, fed nothing but lies and inuendos which do nothing but feed the public's pathetic thirst for giving it to someone else so that they can justify their piss weak existance on this earth... I say to you mass media, one day the public may actually mentally grow up and then you will be nothing but a bunch of wankers in a news room!!! I have seen the free press move countries, I have never seen the mass media do anything for anymore justification than to make a buck.
