"That doesn't matter, um, it's good to have a
talk to people. I tell you I'd rather be in at Kentucky
Fried Chicken at this minute."
- Marty talks to the police after his day in the sun.
Marty
was a simple guy. The psychiatrist say he has the mental age
of an 11 year old. Not surprising really. Well anyway, Marty
owned some guns. And one day he went for a little drive down
to Port Arthur, on the gorgeous little island state of
Tasmania, Australia (not too far from where I live). So,
anyway, Marty decided to go hunting, I don't think anyone
really knows why, I doubt whether Martin has a clue either.
While at Port Arthur Marty shot some people, over 60 in
fact, and of these people shot 35 died.
Interesting Bits
Martins nickname is "Stupid Marty", not hard to figure out
why.
Martin was rich. He had been shacked up with an old woman
who left him a shitload of money, perhaps he wasn't that
stupid after all.
Port Arthur is an old convict site and when Martin started
killing people most of the crowd actually thought that it
was all a re-enactment of old convict days.
It took Bryant only 90 seconds in the Broad Arrow Cafe to
kill 20. He really must have been psyched.
He then took the road to the Sea Scape Inn, and along the
way 12 more ended up dead. Then he eventually stopped at the
Sea Scape, killing the owners and a guest.
All up 35 Dead, and Marty comes running, naked, out of the
burning Sea Scape, badly burned but alive.
He never had a gun licence.
His favorite films were Babe and The Sound of Music.
He once flew to Disneyland but came home after three days
because it started raining.
In late 1995 Marty lost his luggage while returning to
Australia and, when found, customs found 4 pornographic
videos containing Beastiality in them.
Martin walked out of the cinema during Casino because he
didn't like the violence in it.

Most of these quotes are taken from Martin Bryant interview
with police on Jult 4th 1996. Others are from various
newspaper articles.
Unfortunately there is yet to be a decent book written on
Martin Bryant so I cannot suggest anything to read on the
man. BUT a word of warning: Avoid Suddenly one Sunday - Mike
Bingham. This book is complete crap. If there is a single
corroborated fact in that book I will gladly suck a cock. It
is the most poorly researched book I think I have ever read.
BEWARE.
