Metro posted a video on social media urging Dodgers fans to walk from the stadium to the Chinatown rail station after home games. The video claims it can be done in about 25 minutes. We walked the path, and here's what we found.
Yeah it's stolen land, at least it's not a documented massacre site (and how you have more than 400 documented massacres, i.e. killing of 6+ undefended people against a people with a population decline between 95 and 99 percent is known only to the Br*tish)
Interesting the white guy who started the Aboriginal Cricket team was a survivor of a retaliatory attack that killed 20 white settlers including his father*. From memory the team went to England the next year, and then federal government banned Aboriginal people from leaving the state so that was the end of the cricket team.
*He almost certainly participated in the revenge massacres that killed ~400 Aboriginal people so who the fuck knows what was going on with him either
I think the term developed country really pricked my ears there, sorry if you felt attacked, it was more a reminder (and also I was unaware, despite knowing that river bends were almost always Indigenous camping grounds)
Lots of massacres occured at sites like this, settlers ambushing men, woman and children while they camped near riverbends.
Yep, pretty sickening - then when you start to think about the place names that haven't been charged yet (to whitewash the violence of colonisation) and wonder why there are so many "slaughter creeks".

I dont care for cricket.
No need to apologise, it's good to call it out.
