I think that he was simply bullying and throwing his weight around. The use of the word 'orders' suggests the thoughts of some sort of megalomaniac which I suppose is a form of psychopathy. Sounds about right to me.

The following quotes are shortened, not full, to cut to the chase. Some people have interpreted Ned’s comment on page 56, “I do not wish to give the order full force without giving timely warning, but my orders must be obeyed”, as indicating that Ned was giving political orders to people with reason to fear him to leave Victoria if they didn’t want to live under Ned Kelly law. The idea of obeying his orders appears another 3 times in the letter. On page 32 he says, “had McIntyre not obeyed my orders he would have been shot dead”. This is obviously about McIntyre immediately holding up his arms when bailed up. He returns to it on page 53, “McIntyre knew it is only foolishness to disobey”, and again at pages 53-4, “it is only foolhardiness to disobey an outlaw as any man who do not throw up their arms directly as I call on them knows the consequence which is a speedy dispatch to Kingdom Come”. The words about orders are in every case saying bail up or die.<br /><br />Before his concluding order on page 56 he also says, “I give fair warning to all those who has reason to fear me to sell out and give £10 out of every hundred towards the widow and orphan fund and do not attempt to reside in Victoria but as short a time as possible after reading this notice, neglect this and abide by the consequences”. Is this a general “political” order? Or is it a warning to those who would turn him in to the police, to clear off or die? It seems to make more sense as a Kelly tantrum than part of a political agenda.Stuart Dawsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2798312463652733622.post-52231106908755033632017-09-25T11:51:43.128+10:002017-09-25T11:51:43.128+10:00That's very interesting that they have thrown ...That's very interesting that they have thrown a forensic pathologist into the mix for the forthcoming Foxtel series. Maybe he'll be able to shed some fresh professional light onto the wounds on Lonigan's body. Or perhaps the producers will have contacted another 'expert' on the incident at SBC for his theory on the wounds on Lonigan. Lord knows we have waited long enough for his expose! I can't find the reference but I am sure that at some stage Ned gave a differing account of Lonigan's shooting. In this one I seem to recall that he said that Lonigan was running and reaching for his holster when Ned shot him.Brian Tatenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2798312463652733622.post-66650532572792845342017-09-25T10:26:02.748+10:002017-09-25T10:26:02.748+10:00Hi Brian : did you notice that the forensic pathol...Hi Brian : did you notice that the forensic pathologist who published the findings about corpses with a Kelly tattoo being seven times more likely to have been murdered than corpses without a Kelly tattoo, is the forensic adviser to the team who have just made the about to be broadcast Bushrangers series, which includes Ned Kelly? I'm hoping he has had managed to read the Blog discussions about Lonigans death and the 4 wounds found on it, and hopefully agree with me that they show he was killed by a quartered bullet fired while his let side was directed towards the Gang, and proves the lie told by Ned Kelly that Lonigan was behind a log aiming at Kelly who then sot him in self defence. I communicated this theory of mine - which I believe explains the evidence better than any other explanation - to the Genepool people involved in this production, and was invited to meet them in Sydney but unfortunately I couldn't get there. It will be interesting to see what they come up with. I don have Foxtel so will be relying people who do have it to pass on the analysis once it goes to air.Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14104818673788818740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2798312463652733622.post-7912966110669398822017-09-25T08:34:52.366+10:002017-09-25T08:34:52.366+10:00Speaking of Kelly stickers etc. I was watching The...Speaking of Kelly stickers etc. I was watching The Force on TV the other night and the coppers were carrying out a series of raids on a drug ring. As they approached the door of an active dealer, I noticed that one of the windows was completely covered by a big Ned Kelly poster which faced out. I think this says a lot about some of the Kelly disciples. Although I suspect it would have warmed old Ned's heart to see that someone was following in his criminal footsteps.Brian Tatenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2798312463652733622.post-30686587706731565502017-09-24T20:31:18.555+10:002017-09-24T20:31:18.555+10:00After all that the toad's last request was to ...After all that the toad's last request was to be buried in consecrated ground. Ned Kelly was as un-Australian as they come. A multiple murdering thieving loser. Every last one of the ordinary men at Eureka who held their guns against the advancing militia had more guts than the psycho killer ever did in his armour. All the car stickers show him in armour holding guns. When the armour came off he was a gutless jerk begging for his life.Paddynoreply@blogger.com
