Jack Karlson, the man who spurred an iconic Australian meme after his infamous arrest outside a Brisbane restaurant, has died after a prostate cancer diagnosis.
“He said to me that I was the only copper he never hated,” Watt said. “He called me ‘comrade’ and he said ‘come up and spend the night with me and we’ll have a few’, he calls it, ‘the juice of the red grapes’.”
damn. I had a succulent Chinese meal tonight. Sorry. Might’ve been my fault
it wasnt, any sufficiently Succulent Chinese Meal upholds his legacy of wordsmithery and unshakable opposition to police overreach

Technically it was shaken once, by the man who arrested him. Kinda cute tbh
I’m pretty sure it was the prostate cancer that got him.
