404 neck not found

[–] Zane@aussie.zone 31 points 2 months ago (1 children)

He was not given a fine, it was suspended for 12 months. He has essentially escaped consequence, which is just so disappointingly unsurprising for Western Australia.

[–] Chill_Dan@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Is Western Australia like Texas?

[–] zephorah@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

A girl (American) I gamed with who married an Aussie, described Australia as a lot like America but more racist. Granted, that was 10yrs ago. So, maybe?

[–] Brickhead92@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

30% of Australians are casual racists, which means the other 70% are full time.

It seems like country's that were/are heavily influenced by American culture are more racist than ones that aren't. I wouldn't be surprised if that was wrong though, humanity as a whole is pretty xenophobic

Similar to Texas, it has its own secession movement.

Does he have a neck?

[–] thisnameisnottolong@aussie.zone 8 points 2 months ago

I think he left it in the trash can with his cold dead racist heart.

[–] thisnameisnottolong@aussie.zone 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Nice to know that I can restrain people in anyway I deem fit if I decide they are trespassing on my property, as long as I contact the police at some point... So reasonable. I hope someone does the same shit to him next time he goes to buy his roids.

[+] StopJoiningWars -7 points 2 months ago (2 children)

But he wouldn't be trespassing unlike them? So what non-argument is that, even... I swear people love cancel culture these days without even reading the articles.

[–] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I hope someone does the same shit to you next time you go to read an article

[–] StopJoiningWars -4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So not only are both of you wishing for violence, but you're too stupid to read the article. Seems like a case of ✨being American✨

[–] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yet implying that violence towards children is ok if they are deemed to be 'trespassing' is fine?

[+] StopJoiningWars -6 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Violence? You mean restraining them is so unconscionable, the little angels will be so utterly traumatised, unthinkably broken by the experience that it should be illegal on the legal basis of... checks notes... your hurt feelings? 😢

[–] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

If it isn't violence, we didn't wish for violence. We wished for the same thing

Yes, please continue to explain the joy you feel at a grown man abusing 6&7 year old children, filming them crying and begging to be released. Are you by any chance a middle aged white man with ties to... Checks notes... No one. I'm sure roid boy will let you give it a tug after you show him how proudly you're defending him. Maybe he can tie you up too...

[–] StopJoiningWars -1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You're right, let's abolish property rights and allow kids into the coal mines and asbestos factories instead, just like you seem to like it, tankie fucktard. 🙄

[–] thisnameisnottolong@aussie.zone -1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Oh no, the troll is losing an argument, his bullshit is out of control. He's going for extremes that no one was suggesting. Shit next you'll be saying the kids ate his dog. Come on bro, I was hoping for a better class of troll today.

[–] Cadeillac@lemmy.world -1 points 2 months ago

You can tell they are a troll since they quit replying to me when I used actual logic

[–] thisnameisnottolong@aussie.zone -2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Found another piece of shit child abuse advocate here. "it's okay coz they woz trespassin on 'is property!"

[–] kerrypacker@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

If I let my 6 year old daughter break into someone's backyard and swim in their pool I'd lose custody.

[–] thisnameisnottolong@aussie.zone 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No, you wouldn't.

[–] kerrypacker@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

As a separated father I absolutely would.

[–] thisnameisnottolong@aussie.zone -1 points 2 months ago

Oh, well in That case... No you wouldn't. I mean if you are already a shitty father with a history of poor parenting then yes, maybe. But a kid trespassing on someone's property isn't that unusual and... Oh wait... I see... you made the implication that the mother of these children told them to go swim in the pool... Right right okay yeah no they definitely asked her permission and she said yep go for it kids you must go swim in the roid tweakers pool... I bet you have a great relationship with the ex eh? Any chance you're a middle aged white guy?

[–] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Decency is stored in the neck.

[–] Nyx0r 3 points 2 months ago

What the fuck is wrong with some people?

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Interesting that the same use of force on a third child wasn't unreasonable just because the kid managed to escape...

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

The "unreasonableness" of the use of force was the duration, not the act itself. Police took 40 mins to come, so he ziptied them for 40 mins.

[–] kerrypacker@lemmy.world -3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Why aren't the parents in trouble? If I let my 6 year old daughter break into someone's backyard and swim in their pool I'd lose custody. This is the real problem.

[–] eatthecake@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

In Australia you have to have a fence around any backyard pool, including shallow little blow up pools, because children will get into your yard and drown. So I guess it's expected. Also, going into someone's yard to get a lost ball was pretty normal when I was a kid and would not have resulted in losing custody.
