aussie bursts into flames after tasering

man reportedly charged officers carrying lighter, container of fuel; had allegedly been sniffing gasoline.

a man whose relatives say had been sniffing gasoline was engulfed in flames after a police officer tasered him as he ran at officials carrying a container of fuel, police said tuesday.

the man, identified by his family as 36-year-old ronald mitchell, was in critical condition at a perth hospital in western australia state following monday's incident in warburton, an aboriginal community 950 miles northeast of perth.

western australia police said they were responding to a complaint at a house when mitchell ran outside carrying a cigarette lighter and a large plastic bottle containing what they believe was fuel. when he refused to stop running toward them, one officer tasered him, police said in a statement.

the man immediately burst into flames. the officer threw him to the ground and smothered the blaze with his hands, the statement said. mitchell was charged with assault to prevent arrest and possession of a sniffing substance.

an 18-year-old woman threw rocks at the officer as he tried to help, and he was later treated for a cut on his head and burns to his hands, police said.

the woman was charged with two counts of assaulting an officer, police sgt. graham clifford said. two others at the house were charged with possessing a sniffing substance.

mitchell's sister, morinda west, told the australian newspaper that her brother had been sniffing gasoline and that when he ran out of the house he was carrying a lighter and an orange juice container full of gasoline.

police spokeswoman susan usher said mitchell appeared to have received third-degree burns to about ten percent of his body.

western australia police commissioner karl o'callaghan defended the officer's actions on tuesday, calling mitchell a known gasoline sniffer and violent offender.

"the police officers were concerned that they were going to be burnt so they deployed a taser," o'callaghan told reporters in perth. "the only other choice they would have had is to use a police-issue firearm and the circumstances would almost certainly have been far more grave."

o'callaghan also said that while mitchell did burst into flames after the taser was deployed, it wasn't immediately clear if the stun gun actually sparked the fire.

"there is a very strong possibility the fire was caused by the lighter in the hand of the offender," he said.

the officer who tasered mitchell was not suspended, clifford said.

aussie convicted over simpsons porn

article submitted by geoblaze.

cartoons showing sex acts involving children modelled on characters from the simpsons are pornographic, a judge ruled today.

in the nsw (australian new south wales) supreme court today, justice michael adams ruled a fictional cartoon character was a "person" within the meaning of the relevant state and commonwealth laws.

in february, alan john mcewan was convicted in parramatta local court of possessing child pornography and using his computer to access child pornography.

"the alleged pornography comprised a series of cartoons depicting figures modelled on members of the television animated series the simpsons," the judge said.

the cartoons showed characters such as bart, lisa and maggie simpson having sex.

the man was convicted and fined $3,000 and placed on a good behaviour bond.

"in my view, the magistrate was correct in determining that, in respect of both the commonwealth and the nsw offences, the word 'person' included fictional or imaginary characters ...," the judge said.

"... the mere fact that the figure depicted departed from a realistic representation in some respects of a human being did not mean that such a figure was not a 'person'."

in dismissing the appeal, the judge ordered each party to pay its own legal costs as this was the first case dealing with this "difficult" issue.

glowing meat is no problem, say aussies

an australian food agency is trying to quell fears about glow-in-the-dark meats.

in a statement released wednesday, the new south wales state food authority said the glowing phenomenon is caused by a harmless light-emitting bacteria that is naturally present in most meats and fish.

"while most of us would understandably be shocked to see our food glowing, it is important to remember that the microorganism responsible for the glow is not known to cause food poisoning," the authority's director general, george davey, said in the statement.

the food authority receives around two phone calls each month from nervous consumers who have discovered glowing meats in their iceboxes. it issued the statement to allay fears about possible radioactivity in australia's meat supply.

"there has been some speculation in the media that glowing food might have been irradiated, and i can assure consumers that this is definitely not the case," davey said.
