#1 Much less to this story than Drudge implied. The Iraq comment seems about the worst the sodden bugger could come up with. I was more impressed with vomiting across the bar after being refused service. Shame on the Notre Dame guy. No points for punching out a fellow drunk.

#2 I agree! If the olympics had an 'abusive drunk' gold medal then the Brits and Australians would have it sown up.

#3 As an American, the students got what they deserved. Had they been in China, a cane acroos the mouth would have been appropriate. I am ashamed to be an American in light of this behavior. I apologize to everyone who has been disrespected by American citizens in thewir own homeland. Truly a disgrace.

#4 Dhimmi5053,

Dumbass Aussi cop lost a barfight. Instead of gracefully accepting it, a group of Australia's lowest decided to track down this student and show the world there this nothing more courageous than a pack of drunken Aussi cops against a abusing, under the color of law, a visitor their fair land. Doesn't say much for their manhood or intelligence. Proper Aussis are appalled by their behavior.

In the old days, if Chinese did something like this, a gun boat would have stopped by to put a boot up their ass. So sod off you shameful, politicall correct, gonad challenged, sperm recepticle.

#6 That's:
Instead of gracefully accepting it, a group of Australia's lowest decided to track down this student and show the world there this nothing more courageous than a pack of drunken Aussi cops against a lone student, abusing, under the color of law, a visitor their fair land.

#7 Just to be consistent, I expect the SMH to call for John Howard to apologize to Tony Blair for this behavior, and publish endless articles bemoaning the fact that Australian police are every bit as corrupt as the Laotian police.

#8 unbelievable...can you imagine if police in America did this to Middle Eastern college students?!

Secret police and all that jazz.

#10 Well, I am good friends with one of the guys who was involved in the incident and yes the Iraq comment did happen, and my buddy said it was the scariest thing in his life. He was forced on his knees with a gun to his head and was told that if he moved he would get his brains blown out, and my buddy had nothing to do with the fight other than he was an American who knew the kid who got into the fight. One kid got into a drunken fight with an off duty cop and 6 or 7 others who had nothing to do with the fight got their lives threatened. You say they got what they deserved? I strongly disagree.
