    This from the Sydney Morning Herald:

     

    The couple at the centre of the Wieambilla shooting had posted videos online in the weeks leading up to, and night of, the fatal confrontation with police on their regional Queensland property, in which they claimed to have killed the “devils” and “demons”.

     

    A since-deleted YouTube account and alternative video hosting site feature details from the lives of Stacey and Gareth Train — along with his brother Nathaniel, who does not feature but is spoken about — weeks before Monday’s events.

     

    In the most recent of the videos posted to the Mrs Yugi Girawil YouTube channel, published at 7.39pm on Monday, Gareth said: “They came to kill us and we killed them”.

     

    “If you don’t defend yourself against these devils and demons you’re a coward,” Gareth says.

     

    One of the accounts features the name Daniel, Gareth’s middle name. The pair refer to themselves as Daniel and Jane in the videos. Jane was Stacey’s middle name.

     

    All three were shot and killed by police after what has been described as an “ambush” killing of two of the four officers sent to the property — constables Matthew Arnold and Rachel McCrow — about 4.30pm in response to a NSW police missing person report for Nathaniel.

     

    Neighbour Alan Dare was also shot dead after going to investigate the hours-long siege.

    From reports in the news, and I know you guys don't believe a word of it, they were American-style redneck, gun loving doomsdaay preppers who had a hate against the world, and supposedly, two brothers married to the same woman. Total nutters.

    There was a story on the news a week or two ago about a couple who decided to try before you buy. They hired a Tesla in Sydney and drove to Echuca. The car needed recharging, but they didn't have a cable compatible with the charging station. They drove to another small town with a compatible charger, but it was out of service. The battery ran out completely and the car hire company had to supply a tow truck to retrieve the car.

    The kids filed back into class Monday morning.
    They were very excited.
    Their weekend assignment was to sell something, then give a talk on productive salesmanship.
    Little Suzie led off:
    “I sold girl scout cookies and I made $30,” she said proudly:
    “My sales approach was to appeal to the customer’s civil spirit and I credit that approach for my obvious success?
    “Very good,” said the teacher.
    Little Vicky was next:
    “I sold magazines,” she said, “I made $45 and I explained to everyone that magazines would keep them up on current events.”
    “Very good, Vicky,” said the teacher.
    Eventually, it was Little Joey’s turn.
    The teacher held her breath.
    Little Joey walked to the front of the classroom and dumped a box full of cash on the teacher’s desk.
    “$2,467,” he said.
    “$2,467!” cried the teacher:
    “What in the world were you selling”
    “Toothbrushes,” said Little Joey.
    “Toothbrushes,” echoed the teacher:
    “How could you possibly sell enough tooth brushes to make that much money?”
    “I found the busiest corner in town,” said Little Joey:
    “I set up a Dip & Chip stand, I gave everybody who walked by a free sample.”
    They all said the same thing:
    “Hey, this tastes like dog crap!”
    Then I would say:
    “It is. Wanna buy a toothbrush?
    I used the governmental approach of giving them crap for free, and then making them pay to get the bad taste out of their mouth.”

    A couple got married and, following the wedding, the husband laid down some rules.
    “I’ll be home when I want if I want, and at what time I want,” he said.
    “And, I don’t expect any hassle from you. Also, I expect a decent meal to be on the table every evening. I’ll go hunting, fishing, boozing, and card-playing with my buddies whenever I want. Those are my rules,” he said.
    “Any comments?”
    His new bride replied,
    “No, that’s fine with me. But, just understand that there’ll be sex here at seven o’clock every night… whether you’re home or not.”

    An Old Farmer Was Farming And Minding His Own Business.
    “There has been a wild Forest Man seen in the forest. He has little beady red eyes, and hair all over. Be careful, he might be dangerous”
    The old farmer shrugged and continued with his farm.
    About an hour later, the farmer spotted a very hairy man, with little beady red eyes hiding behind a bush at the edge of the forest.
    At first, the farmer was worried for his life but noticed how this forest man did not move, but just stared at the farmer.
    The farmer thought maybe this forest man is not dangerous, maybe he could make friends with him.
    The farmer cautiously approached the forest man (who was still hiding behind the bush), pointed at his farm and said “farm”, he points at himself and said “farmer” then pointed at his hoe and said “farming”.
    The forest man did not move.
    The old farmer got a little closer to him, and again, pointed at his farm and said “farm”, pointed at himself and said “farmer”, then pointed at his hoe and said “farming”.
    The forest man remained behind his bush.
    The old farmer, feeling bold, got even closer and repeated with his actions “farm”, “farmer”, “farming”.
    This time the forest man got up and pointed at the forest behind him and said “forest”, he pointed at himself and said “forest man”, he pointed at the bush and said
    “Taking a sh!t”.
