White Terrorist Plays the Uno Reverse Card

Here’s one that’s going to drive the lefties into even louder screaming fits than usual: they finally get their wet dream of an actual white supremacist terrorist and he goes and pulls the old Uno reverse-card on them.

The lawyer representing a man who allegedly threw a homemade bomb into an Invasion Day rally in Perth has flagged that the accused terrorist is likely to lodge an insanity defence.

It was Australia Day, you demented loon. If you can’t call it by its proper name, use quote marks and stop parroting the left’s idiotic lies.

Liam Alexander Hall did not appear in the Perth Magistrates Court on Tuesday, with lawyers at the brief court hearing confirming the 32-year-old was being held at Western Australia’s maximum security mental health inpatient facility.

It seems very likely true that he is a nutcase. But that doesn’t mean that he isn’t also a terrorist.

This is what I’ve pointed out every single time the chattering left have tried to hand-wave one Muslim terrorist attack after another with the ‘mental illness’ excuse. Mental illness and terrorism aren’t mutually exclusive. In fact, they very often run together, because jihadis often deliberately target mentally ill people as their catspaws, precisely because such people are easier to manipulate into carrying out terrorist attacks.

This is, it appears, something like what has happened here.

[WA police commissioner Col Blanch] said at the time that the terrorism charge was laid that investigators had found Mr Hall had been accessing and participating in “pro-white” ideology online […]

Mr Hall’s lawyer, Simon Freitag, told the court he believed his client would be able to appear before the court and formally lodge a plea in eight weeks.

He said he had identified a practitioner who would prepare a “Section 27 defence” for Mr Hall. In WA’s legal system, Section 27 provides a legal defence of insanity, or unsoundness of mind, if it can be established that a mental impairment deprived the accused of the capacity to understand or control actions.

That makes him little different to Islamic terrorists like Man Haron Monis, or a string of Islamic terrorists who pleaded mental illness. Except that we won’t see the legacy media and the chattering left lining up to act as if that absolves Hall of attempting a terrorist attack.

Mr Hall was living in a state housing commission-owned home in the northern Perth suburb of Warwick at the time of the incident. When he first appeared in court the day after the alleged bombing attempt, the duty lawyer assigned to his case said Mr Hall had a diagnosis of autism.

And, just like that, the left find a ‘neurodiverse person’ they won’t valorise.

Not when they’ve finally got that white supremacist terrorist they’ve been desperately praying for, all these years.

Commonwealth prosecutor Kirsten Nelson told the court the crown was “content” with an eight-week adjournment, “given the accused is still subject to an involuntary hospital order”.

Mr Hall was arrested on January 27, not long after he allegedly threw a homemade explosive device into a crowd of Invasion Day protesters from a walkway above Forrest Place in the Perth CBD. The alleged bomb – packed with ball bearings and nails – did not detonate and no one was injured, although WA police commissioner Col Blanch has said it had the potential to be a mass casualty event.

Mr Hall was initially charged with one count of making or possession of explosives under suspicious circumstances and one count of endangering the life, health and safety of others after he was arrested.

It took almost two weeks and a widespread public outcry before police charged him with engaging in a terrorist act, the first time such a charge had been laid in WA history.

The ‘outcry’ was entirely from the left, who were simply furious that WA police acted with proper caution, rather than immediately slotting the incident into ‘terrorism/not-terrorism’ solely based on ideology. You can bet your arse that if ‘Liam Hall’ had been ‘Muhammad Muhammad’, the left would have been right out the gate with, ‘But we don’t know if it’s terrorism! Don’t rush to judge, Islamophobes!’

Yes, he’s a wannabe terrorist. He’s also quite likely a raving nutbag.

One does not exclude the other, just because it suits your ideological prejudices.
