Can't find this mentioned anywhere.....absolutely terrible

Totally confused re the details though. 10 armed coppers go to serve a warrant....obvious problem child with history

Shoots 3 coppers......fatally killing 2.

Escapes on foot with his family into the bush.....10 hours later still not apprehended

Sounds like Houdini Confused
And The Boys Light Up.... !

Appalling Sovereign Country wacko, ie he and like persons deny the legitimacy of government, police or judiciary etc.  And needless to say a patriarchal society with females as second class citizens.

Totally agree it's difficult to understand how he could escape with his family in tow.  Maybe the senior officers were killed or injured and the remaining plods couldn't get it together, though that's at best speculation.

I did hear it said he stole the deceased officers guns.  Not sure if correct ?  A wack job.  Charged for something about child sex assault awhile ago ??  Obviously well known to them and trouble expected , when 10 officers went there.  How could it go so wrong.Cry
Terrible loss of decent men for no reason other than some wacko living among us.

Not comparing this to the horror of the shootings but seems to display a similar, although much less xtreme attitude.

Former Port Adelaide footballer Warren Tredrea is challenging a court order to pay Channel Nine's legal costs, claiming he has paid the debt with a promissory note (an IOU) because he doesn't believe that Australian paper money or "legal tender" can be used to pay debts. He argues that the only legitimate form of payment is gold or silver coins, which he states are not currently in circulation. His position is that the promissory note, which Channel Nine rejected, discharged the debt, though this claim is being disputed in a Federal Court challenge

Classic case of social media radicalising pre existing mental illness, right wing religious ideologies find a place to nest, then you have weirdos turning into dangerous killers. 

It should be made law that if you present yourself as a sovereign citizen anywhere you are detained until further notice, shackled up with other Sov Cits and made to pull out weeds and invasive plants in our parks and forests for the rest of their lives.

Very sad. It’s not that far from here and one of the poor buggers that was killed was a regular at the Moyhu Hilton.

He was about to retire in a week or two.

Sounds very odd ....the info has to be dodgy

Initial reports claiming 10 officers went to conduct a search on his house.....shoots 3 of them.....& he runs off with his family into the bush never to be seen again

Then half a day later the wife & kids turn up at a police station saying they had not been with him at all

Wouldn't the other 7 coppers have known that....considering the latest info suggests they fired at him

Bizarre to say the least !

Yes Oneone. You would think after the Qld tragedy that every police force in the country would be ultra careful in these situations.

The fact that 10 coppers attended shows they thought it could go pear shaped.

It will all come out in time.

It's a very small and frequently awful world.

Our daughter's partner retired from Vicpol as a Detective Senior Sergeant just two years ago, serving more recently in NE Vic in the area of alleged sexual offence. 

He was acquainted with one of the deceased officers who worked in the same field.  And knew that the decedent had dealt with Freeman before and had formed some kind of relationship with him. 

Which was why that officer in particular was front and centre in approaching Freeman's accommodation, only to be blown apart from ambush.

Sincerely hope Freeman is gut-shot when evading capture, ensuring that he suffers extraordinary pain over many hours before his ultimate demise.

Pretty scary to think there are probably a lot of "prepper" freaks like him out there in Oz who have been training themselves for years in "survival" etc. The US must have 1000s of them. Is his family with him? (Haven't had much time to catch up on news.)

You didn’t need to.
You just needed to read the preceding contributions, before regaling us with your musings, that required others to inform you of the current situation….

How do you get 7 guns  ??? Confused  No sane person would want or need 7 guns.Wacko I would be very carefull of that bloke .

I worked once with a lovely, friendly fellow who was part of an ultra "tradionalist Catholic" schismatic sect who had their own "bishops" etc. He invited me round for dinner and I went with great trepidation. After dinner with his BIG family, we went out for a smoke on the balcony (he smoked a pipe, of course - more "traditional) and he literally tried to convince me to marry any one of his daughters over the age of 12. Then he took me down into his basement (literally) and it was filled with filing cabinets full of conspiracy theory stuff he'd collated over decades... and a proud collection of guns lining the walls (before the Oz gun ban.) True story! Oh and one of his daughters was a student at the school and nearly died because he only trusted his own herbal medicines and wouldn't let her see a doctor!

Yes.  Just too sick for words isnt it.  Dont like the rules, Gov, or anything else about the country, but more than happy to live here and take the pension the Gov offers.  Talk about hypocritical.  Any fool who would follow someone like that is brain dead. 
Apparently they were there to arest him on sex charges relating to a 16 year old, in the last 2 years. 
Like SC , I hope they manage to shoot him and he dies slowly. Dont rush him to hospital for the tax payers,,,IE the Gov he doesnt agree with,,to patch him up.
