While holidaying over the xmas break at my grandfather’s house in South Golden Beach
I got a bit depressed reading about president pussygroper’s ascension to the Whitehouse and googling unsolved crime in NSW.
Forty pages of unsolved murders, the list of unsolved rape was endless, on it went..
Lighten up, dig out some of pops old Echo‘s to enlighten me and the first issue I come to dated November 16 settles me down immeasurably, the thrilling article was about how the drug squad after a five-month investigation arrested a 66-year-old grandmother for selling gunga cookies on the the streets of Nimbin.
Gee, I can see them now in their shiny boots and blue overalls with ‘police’ written on the back in big block letters, three or four more in uniform with guns and tasers ready for action in case this mama packed a pistol and tried to shoot it out or make a run for it.
Tension must have been palpable after five months, bet those blue lights were flashing.
Would have been at least four vehicles, dawn raid no doubt, whole operation probably cost the taxpayer fifty grand.
I feel so relieved now the police have taken this huge step toward solving all those unsolved crimes by removing this little gunga fairy from the streets of Nimbin.
I mean we all know what a alarming threat to society they really pose. I think the Echonetdaily should send Mandy Nolan or Norman Gunston maybe on assignment to interview and congratulate the police commissioner about making this truly astonishing breakthrough.
