ACTIVE SEARCH Australia. Man wanted after pouring hot coffee on baby in park, Brisbane, Queensland. 27th August 2024

It wasn't my point.

I meant strange ensemble of clothes with clashing colours.

Besides,
It was warm.
The Baby was wearing a T-shirt and his legs were bare while sitting on the blanket.

I think the not wearing blue and green together is a generational thing. Older generations. My grandmother wouldn't have. I think my mum does, but she won't wear pink or red because she had ginger hair (even though it's mostly silver now). I wear whatever colours I want to wear together. And I think most straight men just wear whatever they feel like, whatever's clean. I can't see most okka blokes looking at a flannelette shirt and going, 'oh dear, can't wear that with my cargo shorts because of fashion colour matching rules'. I doubt most of them have even heard of the no blue and green together thing. And there's no reason for it, it's just tradition.

MOO

I grew up in Western Sydney, where the lower half of pretty much all guys is clad in blue jeans or cargo shorts. And they're certainly not avoiding blue or green tshirts or flannelette shirts. If they're clean and without stains or holes it's practically formal wear.

I see nothing weird in what the attacker is wearing. It's pretty standard casual wear for men. And I see nothing weird about the long sleeves. It's only just ticked over into spring yesterday.

MOO

I sometimes wear blue and green together just because I don't want anyone or any silly tradition or superstition having any influence over my clothing choices.

I thought his clothing was kind of standard. What a lot of men would wear.

To be honest I didn't think his choice of clothing would become a topic.

 

[Dotta]

To be honest I didn't think his choice of clothing would become a topic.

Quite the contrary IMO.

His clothes are as important as anything about him.

He is sticking out like a sore thumb IMO.

How strange he hasn't been caught yet

It's completely nondescript.

Shorts, flannelette shirt, baseball cap. Clean cut but casual adult Asian man out for a walk in the park. There would be hundreds who looked just like him in the area.

If he passed me in the street, even at a run, I wouldn't look twice.

MOO

I highly doubt that is true, that police are "struggling to find out who he is". I notice that the DM article doesn't even try to quote a police officer when making their claim.

The Cairns Post article that Tootsie posted a little further back - which quotes Acting Deputy Commissioner Mark Kelly - says they have 23 detectives, including specialists from their crime intelligence group, and another 6 intelligence agents working on the case. They are determined to solve the case. If you have any info please contact them.

It gives the distinct impression that they just can't locate the guy at the moment, not that they don't know who he is.

imo

 

[rabidstoat]

The fact that they've not located him with all this information makes me wonder if he's not a native. So many photos, and the rideshare would have his name and credit card information, one would think.

Do tourists arriving in Australia have a photograph taken at border control?

Boiling liquids can do incredible damage to young children that does leave lasting damage.

One of my dearest high school friends pulled a just-boiled kettle down on himself when he was three. This was in the eighties, before the laws restricting the length of cables for appliances like that. He spent at least six months in the burns unit (it might have been as long as a year, I can't recall) and still had significant scarring to one shoulder that would tear if his school backpack was too heavy as a teenager. He had other scarring from skin grafts and stretch marks from the steroids he had to take.

What made the burns on his shoulder the worst wasn't just that it was where the liquid hit, it was the fact that the fabric of his clothing absorbed and held the liquid there, in that place, increasing the damage of the burn. The steam burns to his face were bad but healed without visible scarring by the time I knew him. He will have the scars on his shoulder and torso for life.

It sounds like this child was not burned as severely as my friend, but I thought it worth talking about because the circumstances surrounding a burn can greatly impact outcomes. It sounds like the liquid was not as hot (probable, given it was a thermos, not a boiling kettle), or they stripped the wet clothing off the baby as quickly as possible, limiting the damage.

MOO

That’s a good thing to know, to remove the clothing in that situation.

Recently I heard of a few cases where homeless people, or soon to be homeless people commited a crime just so they would have a roof over their heads and be fed.
The crimes weren't ones where people got physically hurt but were enough for them to be in prison for awhile.

This man doesn't look like he's homeless or sleeping on the street.

I would think they would choose to steal something from a store or vandalize or something less cruel if that were the case.

 

[DoctorRose]

Meanwhile I did not even notice that his clothes didn’t match lol. I did notice he has runner’s calves.

Luca is a tough little guy isn’t he? I think he’s gonna be okay. He can grow up knowing how brave he is, he’s a little superhero.

Not to mention,
no woman would use clothes with colours that clash until teeth ache -
I mean, dark blue and khaki green
Aaargh!!!

JMO

Khaki (tan, as in the photo) is a neutral, it goes with almost any color. I've never heard any idea that you shouldn't wear blue with it.

 

[TootsieFootsie]

I'm hoping that someone found the thermos and handed it in and that it does have fingerprints on it, unless he carried it away with him.
And have they found the clothes he changed out of or was he seen carrying them away.

Someone must know this horrible man

 

[TootsieFootsie]

Actually he does not stick out like a sore thumb, not at all.
Here in Australia many men dress like that.

I wear blue and green together a good bit. Simply because I like the look of it.
In my opinion what this guy was wearing is important because knowing that will help catch him. Why he chose to wear those particular clothes I doubt matters.

 

[TootsieFootsie]

Maybe he wore those clothes to blend in with all the many other men who would dress in a similar casual fashion and to disguise himself from how he usually dresses.

Perhaps that's not what he would usually wear and when people who know him saw the photos they would possibly think it wasn't him because they'd never seen him dress like that.

And also the cap and glasses may have been a disguise.
Maybe he doesn't usually wear glasses. Or caps.

Don't rideshare companies know the names of their passengers? I thought (where I am at least) that you had to call for a ride through their app, and you pay for the ride with a credit card. The card would have a name associated with it, of course. Maybe he used a stolen card in someone else's name... or maybe you don't have to give your name and credit card info there for some reason.

This has been the biggest question mark for me. For at least the past five years, every time I’ve used a ride share service the driver and I have both confirmed the other’s display name from the app before I actually enter the car.

If they know enough to say it was specifically a ride share and not an ordinary taxi, they HAVE to have more information than just the (incredibly clear) surveillance footage screenshots, don’t they?
