In that time he killed twenty people, attempted to kill four, wounded six, and caused grievous bodily harm to one. He fired twenty-nine shots, very few of them missed a target, and most of them struck targets when fired at either point blank or close range. There is absolutely no doubt as to his intent and his desire to cause maximum carnage.

    Thanks for pointing that out, Ich. Some interesting photos and data in there.

    I just noticed...Martin Bryant looked a lot like Macaulay Culkin. Especially when he was young.

ID:	48419Well, I looked and looked and looked and looked. I then looked and looked and looked and looked. I found a PRISON exercise photo of Martin Bryant. It appears to be the only one on the web. I don't think he will ever get out. lol. Here is the caption: Martin Bryant inside Hobart's Risdon prison inside an exercise cage attached to his cell. Bryant was convicted of the April 1996 Port Arthur massacre, where he shot and killed 35 people at the Port Arthur Historic Site, Tasmania, 19 April 1997.

    As I wrote above. He has his own exercise yard. They don't want him mixing with anybody because he will get off if he gets a sniff of any interest in him, as well as the fact they could be queing up to off him.

    Just going to spout off some thoughts.

    Bryant had a low IQ and mental issues. So did Adam Lanza, but Lanza didn't execute head shots only. Bryant pretty much hit everyone's neck and head area. Pretty good shot for someone who is MR.

    The ordinary "idiot savant" is good at math, music, obscure facts, etc. There's one part of their brains that seems to function, and exceedingly well. Once discovered, these gifts amaze the rest of us and gain them and their families admiration.
    Alas, it also appears there's such a thing as a homicidal savant, capable of delivering death with extreme accuracy and dispatch, and bringing nothing but misery and shame.

    Odd... Look at the date that happened. Same day as Waco and Oklahoma City. not saying there is a conspiracy or anything..just odd about the date.

    I'm not saying there's a connection but I get the same vibe from Bryant that I get from Julian Assange

    May be a connection?

    *Historical footnote -Port Arthur was home to a a hellish 19th C penal establishment

    It is said that pairs of prisoners there were known to enter into bizarre death pacts in which one prisoner would agree to murder the other

    The killer would be executed, thus both men would finally be free

    Plans were made to kill Martin Bryant, police officer who guarded him reveals

    BURNING with hatred and revenge, people intent on killing Port Arthur gunman Martin Bryant applied for security positions at the hospital where he was held after the massacre, a police officer who guarded the infamous figure has revealed.

    My time with mass killer Martin Bryant


    FORMER police officer Phil Pyke was handed the grim task of guarding Australia's worst mass murderer Martin Bryant in the hospital after the Port Arthur massacre in 1996. He had met Bryant before and been shocked by his callous attitude to the death of his father. But it was watching over the killer in the hours after the tragedy that he gained a unique insight into Bryant's evil nature. These are his never-heard-before thoughts from that time:

    WOW! Can't believe that I've never heard of this! What a twisted POS! Can't believe he didn't get the death penalty. (Do they have the death penalty in Australia?) His pictures have me a little creeped out right now!

    Have read lots about this and plan on going to Port Arthur next time I'm home.

    A friend of a friend was one of the victims so I've taken a lot of interest. I think he did it, he did all kinds of nasty weird things before hand and he certainly had a motive to kill the couple who owned the B&B.

    I'm sure anyone who has ever been to Tasmania will agree its a safe place, I certainly feel safer there than a lot of mainland Australia so for something so horrific to happen in such a quiet, scenic place feels even more shocking than somewhere you'd "expect" it to.

    I just don't get the conspiracy theorists in this case! A government cover-up? Of what? To frame this nutjob? To what end? I just don't understand how this could all be a conspiracy.

    I was joking when I made the conspiracy comment personally. That being said I can understand why some might entertain the notion at first. Not that I do. But sensational media reports can spawn the idea in the minds of the paranoid.

    No, like 99% of first world countries, they abolished murder by the state.

    Bryant was just focused that day. His illness helped him zone in I think.

    I never heard about this back in the late 90s because I was going to raves all the time and not watching the news at all. lol.

    25 years ago. Most of these mass shooters don't survive. This guy did.

    Been trying to get a copy of Born Or Bred? Martin Bryant:The Making of a Mass Murderer. There are copies on amazon but it's almost 90.00.
