Talk:Port Arthur massacre

I just read the English version of this article, and it tells a completely different story. It says that only "conspiracy theorists" believe that the retarded man did not do this killing spree. But the talk page is full of it. Blockinblox 03:33, 20 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

I have added 17 external links, which I think quite comprehensively follow this simple version of the story. I will not add any information about a Mrs Larner when there is nothing on the internet about her. And including Wendy Scurr and company is very important, because suggesting that Joe Vialls started the conspiracy theory is untrue. It was people who were there that first suggested that it was wrong. Most people who were there (all bar Walter Mikac) say that Martin Bryant did not do it. They have described the person who did do it. This is another case of police arresting "someone" when the real culprit was too hard for them to catch. 203.122.215.44 04:13, 20 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

I agree with Blockinbox. The 'conspiracy theory' is not a widely held view. This article tells a different story to the English version. The author has also added articles for people involved in the issue (Walter Mikac and Wendy Scurr) for example, to push his (or her) point of view. At least both sides of the story need to be told, although I think the 'conspiracy theory' should only take up one paragraph. I have added the disputed tag. 61.69.205.61 10:37, 22 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

I forgot to add that many of your sources are not reliable, especially biblebelievers.org.au, shootersnews.addr.com and rotten.com. 61.69.205.61 10:41, 22 June 2006 (UTC)Reply
