Can he 164 00:08:16,041 --> 00:08:18,281 Speaker 1: keep the music down, but we'll give you a court 165 00:08:18,321 --> 00:08:21,721 Speaker 1: attendance notice for resisting arrest. I was like, fucking I 166 00:08:21,841 --> 00:08:26,081 Speaker 1: resisting arrest. What was I arrested for this? And I 167 00:08:26,161 --> 00:08:28,281 Speaker 1: was just like having a go at these guys, and 168 00:08:29,041 --> 00:08:30,721 Speaker 1: I said, look, you guys will be back, like I 169 00:08:30,761 --> 00:08:33,081 Speaker 1: was pissed off. Man. And that week, a couple of 170 00:08:33,161 --> 00:08:35,201 Speaker 1: days before that, in this same town, so it was 171 00:08:35,201 --> 00:08:38,081 Speaker 1: a small town. There was maybe ten cops in this town. 172 00:08:38,641 --> 00:08:41,441 Speaker 1: They were all on edge because two cops went to 173 00:08:41,481 --> 00:08:43,961 Speaker 1: this guy's house. He'd filled it with gas. They've gone 174 00:08:44,001 --> 00:08:46,921 Speaker 1: there for a welfare check. As they've gone in the 175 00:08:46,921 --> 00:08:49,041 Speaker 1: front door, he's lit the place up. That blew up, 176 00:08:49,161 --> 00:08:53,001 Speaker 1: and these two cops got airlifted to hospital, like they're 177 00:08:53,001 --> 00:08:56,401 Speaker 1: in serious condition. And so I thought, you know what, 178 00:08:56,481 --> 00:09:00,881 Speaker 1: I know how to make a couple of different bombs. 179 00:09:00,921 --> 00:09:07,321 Speaker 1: Actually probably can't again, probably can't conduct. But I just thought, look, 180 00:09:08,481 --> 00:09:10,721 Speaker 1: I'll make a couple bombs that, you know, just make 181 00:09:10,761 --> 00:09:14,121 Speaker 1: a bend and you know, that'll really rattle the cops. 182 00:09:14,161 --> 00:09:16,321 Speaker 1: And look, I just thought it would be funny and 183 00:09:16,321 --> 00:09:18,561 Speaker 1: they'd come back at the door and go, look, fuck you, 184 00:09:18,601 --> 00:09:20,921 Speaker 1: and that was the end of it. But man, it 185 00:09:21,081 --> 00:09:23,601 Speaker 1: really rattled them. I mean they shut down the Bruce Highway. 186 00:09:24,321 --> 00:09:27,441 Speaker 1: They got the SIRT team with like you know, swat team, 187 00:09:27,481 --> 00:09:30,761 Speaker 1: with machine guns to come down from Cans. They got 188 00:09:30,761 --> 00:09:33,401 Speaker 1: the bomb squad to come up from Townsville. And I 189 00:09:33,441 --> 00:09:35,201 Speaker 1: wake up at four o'clock in the morning with like 190 00:09:35,241 --> 00:09:37,881 Speaker 1: an AR fifteen in my face, like a machine gun, 191 00:09:37,961 --> 00:09:39,841 Speaker 1: like what the fuck? Like I'd just gone to bed. 192 00:09:39,921 --> 00:09:42,881 Speaker 1: I was like, Oh, obviously it didn't rattle anyone. I'm 193 00:09:42,881 --> 00:09:46,641 Speaker 1: going to go have a snooze. So that's what that 194 00:09:46,921 --> 00:09:49,961 Speaker 1: was about. And a bit of backstory to this, to 195 00:09:50,041 --> 00:09:52,681 Speaker 1: this making the bombs thing was back when I was 196 00:09:52,721 --> 00:09:56,241 Speaker 1: a young guy again, eighteen off my head, getting up 197 00:09:56,241 --> 00:09:57,801 Speaker 1: to no good.
