Aussie Dad Charged With Public Intoxication And Carrying Loaded Weapon
I must’ve spent twenty minutes trying to compress Mark David Wright’s deeds into a concise headline. Perry White I am not. Mr. Wright was arrested by Australian police after staggering down the streets of his hometown clad in naught but his tightie-whities, toting a loaded shotgun.
Local authorities report that Mr. Wright left his home after a fight with his girlfriend and mother of his five year old son. Somewhat unclear on the best way to avoid incarceration, a drunk Wright told his girlfriend that due to a warrant for his arrest on a domestic violence charge, he was going to go to jail and lose his son. He then grabbed the shotgun, stripped down to his undies, and proceeded to parade through the streets of Darwin, thus insuring that he would go to jail and lose his son. Hey - why delay the inevitable? Carpe diem! And yes, Darwin is the town’s name. Isn’t it ironic? Dontcha think? Like rain on your wedding day. Or a black fly in your Chardonnay. Or…well, you get the point. Later, Mr. Wright paused to reflect on the turn his life had taken. “I realised I was walking down Trower Rd with a shotgun and it probably wasn’t a good look,” he said. Fair dinkum, mate. Fair dinkum indeed.
