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.

Is Western Australia like Texas?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month 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?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month 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.

Decency is stored in the neck.

Does he have a neck?

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.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 month 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.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month 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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 month 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? 😢

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

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

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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...

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 month 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. 🙄

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 month 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.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 month ago

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

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month 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.

As a separated father I absolutely would.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 month 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?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month 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.

What the fuck is wrong with some people?
