Mr Ward's death is beyond disgraceful, and I can't imagine a complete disregard for human life still persist in a great country such as Australia, but it happen and I am so sadden by it. I am sorry for his family, his community and for Australia. A great nation tarnished just like America for a few man's actions or lack of care in this matter.

In 1619 20 slaves were brought to America as cattles, in the 30's they were hanged from tree branch lilke Christmas ornaments, like Australian black, American blacks were not recognized as human till the voting right was officialized in 1968, and in 2008, Obama was elected first black president, that is almost four hundredths years of racial barriers and oppressions, but with the right endeavor for a better humanity, this country will have their first black prime minister soon. Yes we can ! yes we can!
Patrick Sim is the first Aboriginal/Torres Strait Island to be sign with the NBA, go Blazers ! go Sammie, you will be a great allstar.
