Bashings
Submitted by sea-kem on Tue, 2014-02-04 18:39
I know this is fishing related but I've just been shocked to hear of the death of a really good guy I used to know. A gentle giant of a man who was a star footy player to boot. He was in QLD with his wife when he was bashed by three gutless cowards in an unprovoked attack. I would agree as agro was definitely not his style. This type of crap happens far too often now, I'm so sad of hearing this news. Talk to your sons guys, tell them be wary and to be aware of the consequences either way. That's four lives destroyed by what? A moment of idiocy? Just a bloody waste :(

Turn on the TV
Turn on the TV.
Kids hour cartoons fighting bashing blood and violence.
Turn on the TV at any other station at any hour, Bashings Murder and death, shown in the most graphic way. Is it really that hard to see why this is happening.
The people of today are growing up seeing this as an every day part of their lives.

Absolute rubbish
Sorry hooked but that is rubbish, I have trained MMA for many years and have never used it . It taught me to be man enough to walk away. It is Alcohol and drugs that cause most of the violence, and the drug of choice is Meth .
Sorry to here about your friend Sea-Kem .

Sorry for the loss andy
Yes thats you and many other responsible ppl but this younger generation mmay be on alot of drugs yerrr... but so many watch this ufc and just act like wannabe mad men . I love ufc dont get me wrong but too many idiots taking it the wrong way. Also drugggs of course but drugs have always been around. I see this first hand with my younger brother and his mates (bunch of clowns)

Everyone's just winging it.

unfortunately becoming more
unfortunately becoming more and more prevalent and we are only going to see more of this.
There is a whole heap of factors involved, I don't believe UFC or TV is solely responsible but it does play it's part, it is a whole range of social factors including, poor parenting, drugs (meth playing a big part), lack of compassion/caring for others (often but not always stemming from parenting), lack of fear and lack of deterrents as far as consequences, self esteem, peer pressure etc etc etc.
Sadly something that's already occurred in our society and will take at least a decade and a great effort to claw back (assuming anything is done)..
Sorry to hear about your friend.

Sorry to hear about your loss
I have stopped my grand daughter from using her x box at our house, even she looks at cartoons and they are nothing but death and mayhem. This is crap what games they are allowing young kids to watch and play.
Very sorry about your friend hopefully just hopefully they will get those responsible and lock them up for a long time. It won't bring your friend back but it may stop these bastards from doing it to some other poor innocent person.

Condolences to you Andy
Back 20 or 30 years ago this sort of thing hardly ever happend. WTF is going on these days and how much worse is it going to get.
Our law and order is rat shit. Arse wipes like these pricks are protected by the do gooder minority. Most of us know what these mongrels need.

20 or 30 years two blokes went out side and had up punch up(and their mates made sure it didn't go to far) both walked back in and had a beer together problem sorted , these days you will get glassed or king hit , your better of just staying home on a Saturday night having some beers with your mates and getting home safe

Sorry to hear mate, things
Sorry to hear mate, R.I.P to him and condolences to his family and other freinds.
Things are getting really bad and i myself blame up bringing to the most part. Lack of discipline .
Without going into too much details , i seen a murder happen a few years back and watched 6 guys bash, stomp and attack one guy on the ground with bars, bricks and more. Absolute animals getting around these days infact i wouldnt even call them animals. They are alot lower than animals. They know that they can walk free with no or little punishment. We need to bring back the noose in my opinion

I see it all the time in our neighbourhood Marc, Kids that should be at home roaming around with older shithead mates. The parents obviously don't give a shit, or are on drugs themselves, a big job for understaffed social services.

Yep thats exactly
Yep thats exactly what happend in the street where i lived. Sometimes kids in nappys wanding around with sticks with other older kids smashing stuff up till 1am sometimes. Parents inside there homes drunk or on drugs.
I acually think that you should have to apply to have kids as way to many people think spitting kids out and the be al and end all.
Sorry, back on topic

Condolences
Offering my condolences for the loss of your friend.
What is needed is for the police to get rid of the cctv systems in the lock ups and go back to doing what they did when I was growing up. A good belt around the ears or a kick up the ring soon earned the respect of the local copper in the knowledge that if you did it again expect more than you got this time.
Red Bull has a lot to do with it, instead of mixing spirits with coke they now do it with Red Bull and where one usually want to fall asleep when drunk they now are full of beans with no outlet and pity help who ever gets in their way.

your right
couple of cops ( Mick the thumper, Phil supercop Clews and Tiny Albright) back from my youth in the town I grew up in the north west weren't adverse to dishing out a stinging clip behind the ear if you were misbehaving , they would also give you some praise if it was deserved like when me and my 2 closest mate helped out at a house fire . I have caught up with all 3 of them at town reunions and they are champion blokes and as Mick said to me you only got a "clip when you needed it " and I thank him and those old school coppers, we need some more old style policing like that , I think me and my mates turned out ok in the end because of them

Sorry for the loss of your
Sorry for the loss of your mate, sea-kem. I am a strong advocate of your comment "Talk to your sons guys". PLEASE,all you fishos out there with sons, keep on track with where your young man is at both physically and emotionally. Being a a young man in todays society has serious but pointless peer pressure issues. Lets get rid of this "gotta be a tuff boke attitude". When I was young I bumped into a fella in a pub someware and caused him to drop his drink on the floor. His words were "F#ck you skinny C#unt Im gonna rip ya fu#en Head off. What did I do? I got him another drink.
