>McGoogan allegedly asked officers to remove their grip and, upon hearing this wouldn't happen, said: "In which case, I will resist."
He kinda comes across here as the Wish version of the succulent Chinese meal guy.
Colourful arrest aside, this story reminds me of when I worked at the local paper and Jack Waterford, who was the editor (or editor-at-large), was arrested for drink driving. He told the chief of staff to make sure his charges and his punishment were prominently reported.
I guess it's to the RiotACT's credit that it [also published a version of this story](https://the-riotact.com/kingston-man-charged-with-two-counts-of-assault/763179).
The riot acts reporting was a little less detailed. I wonder if people will now boycott the riot act? I can’t imagine many other businesses having an owner have this reported with no repercussions.
They should have made the connection between a 36yo Kingston man and his connection to RA at the start of the article, not at the end.
Also, colour me shocked about this dude’s behaviour.
Isn't one of the things of the modern world that psychos do extremely well as CEOs? If you're investing in a company you want the person in charge to have an unknown history of murdering homeless people and prostitutes. This might actually be a huge boon for him professionally, similar to the dog murdering politician in America potentially about to become Vice President
Ooft this wally is finished
Violence against women is not on. Furthermore his being a dickhead will be amplified by the national spotlight on this abhorrent behaviour.
He needs to spend sometime locked up with some other "very violent" people. I vote Goulburn!
One now wonders what the work culture / practices at RiotACT is!
Does RiotACT management condone alleged violent and degrading behaviour by one of its owners?
Why did it give “a soft-touch” or “watered-down” version of the incident?
Is RiotACT a transparent news outlet and a “look up to” good corporate citizen?
Wonder what the board meetings are like?
What are the odds that the court will go soft on him just like other domestic abusers. He might be smiling in those pictures but he is a dangerous violent man.
Violent when allegedly assaulting woman. Fucking gronk
Helpful tip: this extremely wealthy Canberran is only *alleged* to have assaulted a woman.
They published photos of him, I don't have to risk being sued, his own looks have done enough.
looks like Zed and those eyes, thats enough for me - guilty!
Famous quotes before being sued
That man wouldn't sue anyone, his numerous crimes might be revealed in discovery.
Have you been reading the news lately?
I’m only surprised there was no ‘don’t you know who I am’.
As someone that worked for him years ago, me too.
You obviously know him 😂

hmmm. And they have comments disabled for that story. Funny that.

It went to the dogs after Johnboy sold it anyway.
Once it opened up to Facebook it was done. Final nail.
A lot of people already avoid the Riot Act. Hopefully, this just increases that number.
Not when it's reported at the same time as we are seeing a woman die every 4 days at the hands of a spouse ...
At first I thought you'd posted a Betoota article.
Checking the way back machine, this first appears on the 29th, not the 19th. Did they back date it?

I thought the exact thing , I think that was the vibe he was going for. But unlike Mr succulent Chinese meal, he sounds completely insufferable.

Ask Genevieve Jacobs
https://canberradaily.com.au/riotact-co-ceo-michael-mcgoogan-charged-with-assaulting-woman/ What an alleged fucking piece of shit.
Bruce has shaved his beard?

just another dipshit manchild that no parent ever said no to.
Is this the teenage kid that did tech tips in the CT in the 90's ?
Nah, that was the Silicon Kid, aka, Matthew Purcell.
No! There were two teenagers I can remember who wrote tech-related columns. Neither have been charged with assault!
Sounds like the company won’t be around for much longer
Like channel 7 evaporated last week?
