Bus Seats Mistaken For Burqas By Members Of Anti-Immigrant Group

A Norwegian anti-immigrant group has been roundly ridiculed after members apparently mistook a photograph of six empty bus seats posted on its Facebook page for a group of women wearing burqas.

“Tragic”, “terrifying” and “disgusting” were among the comments posted by members of the closed Fedrelandet viktigst, or “Fatherland first”, group beneath the photograph, according to screenshots on the Norwegian news website Nettavisen.

Other members of the 13,000-strong group, for people “who love Norway and appreciate what our ancestors fought for”, wondered whether the non-existent passengers might be carrying bombs or weapons beneath their clothes. “This looks really scary,” wrote one. “Should be banned. You can’t tell who’s underneath. Could be terrorists.”

Further comments read: “Ghastly. This should never happen,” “Islam is and always will be a curse,” “Get them out of our country – frightening times we are living in,” and: “I thought it would be like this in the year 2050, but it is happening NOW,” according to thelocal.no and other media.

The photograph, found on the internet, was posted “for a joke” last week by Johan Slåttavik, who has since described himself as “Norway’s worst web troll and proud of it”, beneath a question asking the group: “What do people think of this?”

Slåttavik told Nettavisen and Norway’s TV2 he wanted to “highlight the difference between legitimate criticism of immigration and blind racism”, and was “interested to see how people’s perceptions of an image are influenced by how others around them react. I ended up having a good laugh.”

It went viral in Norway after Sindre Beyer, a former Labour party MP who said he has been following Fatherland first for some time, published 23 pages of screenshots of the group’s outraged comments.

“What happens when a photo of some empty bus seats is posted to a disgusting Facebook group, and nearly everyone thinks they see a bunch of burqas?” he asked in a post shared more than 1,800 times.

The comments suggested the vast majority of the anti-immigrant group’s members saw the photo as evidence of the ongoing “Islamification” of Norway, although a small number pointed out it was in fact a picture of bus seats. One warned the group was making itself look ridiculous.

Beyer told Nettavisen: “I’m shocked at how much hate and fake news is spread [on the Fedrelandet viktigst page]. So much hatred against empty bus seats certainly shows that prejudice wins out over wisdom.”

The head of Norway’s Antiracist Centre, Rune Berglund Steen, told the site that people plainly “see what they want to see – and what these people want to see are dangerous Muslims”.

Norway recently became the latest European country to propose restrictions on the wearing of burqas and niqabs, tabling a law that will bar them from kindergartens, schools and universities. France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Bulgaria and the German state of Bavaria all restrict full-face veils in some public places.

The country’s minority government, a coalition of the centre-right Conservatives and the populist Progress party that faces elections next month, said in June it was confident it would find opposition support for the move.

Per Sandberg, then acting immigration and integration minister, told a press conference that face-covering garments such as the niqab or burqa “do not belong in Norwegian schools. The ability to communicate is a basic value.”

Transcom NSF Officer Pointed And Pulled Trigger Of Revolver On Teammate, Then Lied And Tried To Cover Up

A police full-time national serviceman who pointed an empty revolver at another NSF, pulled the trigger and later lied about it was sentenced to two months’ jail on Wednesday (Aug 2).

Justin Degoulange-Chua, 21, was the group leader of a patrol team attached to the Public Transport Security Command (Transcom).

On March 5 last year (2016), in the police room at Bugis MRT station, Degoulange-Chua pointed the pistol at patrol officer Muhammad Syukri Rahiman, 21. He was charged with using threatening behaviour with intent to cause alarm to Mr Syukri.

Degoulange-Chua also admitted to giving false information to a public servant on May 5 the same year, when he said he did not point the firearm at anyone but had taken it out to check it.

Deputy Public Prosecutor Ho Lian-Yi said Degoulange-Chua was leading the team – made up of the victim and three others – on the first day of foot patrols. It was the first day of duty for the victim and another NSF police officer on the team, and they had just completed the basic Transcom course.

While taking a break, Degoulange-Chua talked about the team’s culture, which required rookies to perform push-ups and jumping jacks, among other things.

He then ordered the victim to get into a push-up position.

When the victim was on all fours, DPP Ho said the accused took out the victim’s extendable T-baton from the holster.

He extended the T-baton, placed it on the victim’s back, and told him to continue doing push-ups.

The victim managed to do one before the T-baton fell on the floor. The accused then told the victim to get up.

The entire incident was recorded by a assistant group leader on his mobile phone, who later shared it via the online social media app Snapchat.

When the victim was sitting at a table, the accused unbuckled his right holster, drew his Taurus revolver and took out all the five live rounds. He then placed four live rounds on the table and held one in his left hand.

After closing the chamber of the revolver, he asked the victim how many bullets were on the table. The victim replied that there were four.

The accused then said there was one round in the revolver. He pointed the weapon at the victim and squeezed the trigger at least once.

DPP Ho said: “The victim jumped out of his seat in alarm and shouted for the accused to stop. The victim was afraid that he would be hurt or even killed if the revolver was, in fact, loaded.”

Investigations showed that on May 5, the accused, in a statement to a Transcom Base officer, lied that he did not point his revolver at anyone.

Degoulange-Chua came clean about what he did only about three months later.

None of the four men brought up the incident in their initial statements to the police. The accused had approached three of them, including the victim, to cover up the incident.

Defence lawyer S. Balamurugan said his client, who is now a student, has apologised to the victim. He said his client’s offences were “completely out of character”, and the incident has caused his client great anxiety.

The maximum penalty for giving false information to a public servant is six months’ jail and a $1,000 fine. For using threatening behaviour with intent to cause alarm, it is a $5,000 fine and six months’ jail.

AXS Scam: Man Hogs AXS Machine And Left His Unfinished Transactions Hoping The Next Person Accidently Pays His Bills

[Gentle Reminder and a rant]
So i was at an AXS machine this morning, about to pay my bills. I was right behind someone, all well dressed but kept having his transactions cancelled due to his card for whatever reason (no hate) He apologised and was very friendly and courteous and asked if he could try again, and i said “Sure!”

I was glued to my phone and heard him on the phone (in his language; which i understand but because this is not a racial rant, ill keep it to myself. And to anyone confused, many people assume I’m not local or asian. Even though, Born and raised! Holla!) He was arguing with someone over money and i guess maybe he didn’t have the funds he thought he might have had. And he said on the phone in the context of “it’s okay, there’s a lady behind me, it wont time out” that’s as much as i caught on. And he left.

He walked off and was standing in the distance and i proceeded with my own bills (i pressed home and i thought it was refreshed for a new user) but when i got to the “Make Payment” page, his transactions of about $300 was there. I only had 1 bill so, it was pretty obvious. I turned to look at him and he looked away. I cancelled his transaction and only paid mine.

When i was done, i turned to him and did that finger pointing orh-hor motion and he mouthed sorry sorry and bowed a little.

Piggy me went to get McDonald’s breakfast (hotcakes with sausage and extra sausage, if you needed to know) and when i walked past the AXS machine again, i saw him back on it with an old lady behind. He did the same thing! When he walked off and stood at the same spot, i was being kaypo luh okay? I went up to the old lady and said sorry, i wanna check something. Weasel did the same thing!! I helped her cancel his transactions and told her next time must check. I turned around and he was gone. But i went by the counter to let them know what was up but didn’t see anyone attend to the machine for the next 5 mins.

So please be careful, maybe he was hoping someone could mistakenly pay his bills. Bitch, i ain’t made of money! Especially, young or old, if you are in a rush or aren’t too familiar with using the machines. I don’t use it often so i had no idea! My instincts was to physically help so i apologise that my Stomp adrenaline didn’t kick in and i didn’t get a picture.

So this is my gentle reminder to remind your loved ones! 😘

[UPDATE]
Thanks for sharing guys! I’ve been notified that this has happened all across the city so be attentive at the payment page! Unfortunately, where i was at had no CCTV. But maybe it was planned out that way by this particular person? I’m not sure. Also like many of you, I’m a little old school. No ibanking and i like my receipts so i don’t use the apps or whatever else. So if you are like me, HEY! But also, always helps to be attentive. Can never be too careful!

Macpherson RC Photo Prove That Singaporeans Are Second Class Compared To The New Citizens

Singaporeans are sick and tired of being made second class citizens in their own home.

We thought we had made it clear in 2011 that we want the rampant immigration and the social problems it causes to be rolled back, but it seems that after the 2015 elections, the PAP are back to their old ways.

When I first moved into my estate 20 years ago, I remember being greeted very often by my local Singaporean RC chairman and his members. They were always so helpful and anyone who talked with them felt at ease. National Days back then felt genuinely patriotic. We would gather and sing songs over food with neighbours from all the races, Malay, Indian, Eurasian you name it!

But as the years go by, I saw my RC members less and less. Some retired, some moved out. New committee members replaced them. In recent years, I even see an increase in RC members of questionable nationalities joining.

These days when I walk into my RC, I can no longer hear the graceful melodies of Teresa Teng being sung by our local aunties! The Karaoke Rooms are quiet, and the meeting rooms are quiet. RCs these days are more like places for people to ingratiate themselves with the PAP MP and their volunteers. Even these volunteers, many of them are unashamedly new citizens!

Where has Singapore’s Gotong Royong spirit gone?

I saw this picture and felt inspired to lament the passing on of Singapore’s golden generation. We are really living in desperate times.
