This is a remake of something old, created in the stupid ages, where a kangaroo was in fact a kick boxer that beat the shit out of a lot of people. Wasn't so much abuse back then for the world around had yet to see animals as more then dumb things the gods put on the earth for us to abuse and kill. More so the fact roos will always gave more then it get in a fight* and boxing with one is a dangerous thing to do. Still I have problems with it for a simple reason: why would we want to relive something from the stupid ages? The only reason I can fathom is they wanted to some how link back to the old black and white pictures of that original boxing kangaroo as if it was some icon to be proud of, which sadly many are.
Well a comedian I listen too correctly identified the problem: Australia exists 50 years in the past! Even though Australia is a 'first class western nation' the reality is that Australian morality, sensibility, laws and well everything else might as well be taken out of the sixties... with all the good parts of the sixties being ignored as 'immoral.' You know the bad parts I mean. Those over controlling 'rules' set out by the people who where old farts during the sixties, well the ones that where not chasing around little dots of light that special paper allowed them to see. For this reason racism, sexism, any other ism as well as stupid acts like this animal abuse are common place. Sadly with no one seriously ever interested in fixing the problem.
I'm more disgusted the fact it took riots to even get a black death in police custody into a court room let alone the sham of a trial it turned out to be. I kid you not, for the 100 years we where a country and the 100 more we where colonies only recently was a police officer investigated in the killing of a black person. To archive that it took hundreds of people (10% of the islands population) rising up and burning some shit down before the government was even willing to entertain the prospect that it was actually more then 'just another accident' and did that just to shut the rioters up more then anything else. The trial was a sham, designed to get the officer off free even though, at the very least, the refusal to give medial aid should of caused some jail time.

Not the most unbiased of the reports on this, but it is quite accurate still to what happened. The accused even admitted to throwing the punches that led to the injuries that would later take a life but was acquitted by a all white jury, based on the fact it was a 'self defence' even though the autopsy alone shows it was a very one sided and heavy handed beating... oh and the victim was originally arrested for swearing in front of police officers. Self defenced to death for swearing at a cop... well happens a lot in Australia if your black!
PS: I speak as an Australian citizen here, one looking to escape Australia cause of this crap. Beautiful land, but no one should have to live there with such idiots running the place. Many here wonder why we have such bad 'anti-gaming' activists... well now you know, they are people who would of been soooo very happy with the Spanish inquisition and wish they could relive this on the rest of the nation if not the world.
The very people that would get a chuckle out of seeing a roo beaten up.
*Correct statement, never piss off a roo unless you have a gun... those things are mean. After all they where descended from a creature with fangs like a wolf and still know how to take you down even if they are no longer interested in eating your sweet, sweet, blood candies!
