Angry mob shows up for Ferguson community meeting
Organizers had been expecting 150 people, but instead a rowdy crowd of about 1000 has turned up to a meeting on the presence of convicted pedophile Dennis Ferguson in their Brisbane community.
Police Minister Judy Spence and Acting Police Commissioner Kathy Rynders were shouted down by the crowd at the meeting in Carbrook, a suburb on Brisbane’s southern fringes, tonight.
A police prosecutor, senior constable Heather Steinberg, received a standing ovation after she said her job was at risk but she had to protest against Ferguson’s presence for the sake of her two daughters aged two and four.
“Why is the commissioner making me protect him and not my children,” she said.
Another woman said she was able to see the house where Ferguson was living.
“Our freedom has gone. You have imprisoned us in our own home. My children are frightened,” she said. (news)
