:lol:

Hadn't checked this thread for a bit, f**k it's deteriorated. Is it still actually about Packer or is that just a guise for the pissing contest that's started up?

Should start handing out awards, this shit is gold.

Wrong in so many ways. You should get out and experience the wonderful cultures of the world and perhaps read a little history. Respect is mandatory. In some countries if it is not shown you will get more than a slap or punch/stomp on the head, in some places in the world you will be dead - someone will shoot you. Like I said previously the twat may have deserved what he got. What he said may not have been acceptable. One thing is certain though, the next time he feels like mouthing off to a 120 kg man he will think twice. He may also start to show some respect to others when in public. Every man will get a hiding at some stage in his life. Looks like this guy just got his.

Sorry, but since when did we know for a fact that this bloke mouthed off?

I could suggest Packer was being a total and utter f**k job, this guy told him to piss off and Packer attacked him for having the gall to speak that way to him... and then i can just run with this story right? Like i dont any evidence or anything?

You've got no idea what actually happened here and nor do i. What we do know is this f**king low life knocked a man unconscious and being the total waste of sperm that he is, decided that wasnt enough, and proceeded to stomp on his head.

There is literally NOTHING that man could have said that justifies that behaviour. The fact you are trying to justify it speaks volumes of who you are as a person.

I said it doesn't factor into the Packer situation - but I was making the point that people blame alcohol when there are other factors involved.

Having been around agro guys in Sydney on a number of occasions I can state that steroid abuse seems to be a factor. Something the Sydney Morning Herald has also pointed out in some of the less sensational articles written on the increase in violence.

Because when Alcohol is involved it is usually the main factor, and for the type of violence we are discussing alcohol is almost always involved.

I still think the roids is being overated because of the bodybuilder from NYE but whatever im not saying that dont make people aggressive but i think even the effects of roid rage is being overrated.

Thanks for checking up on us. Everyone appreciates it.

I love the "if everyone travelled a bit, they would understand this type of issue is fine"

Amazing what you can learn on a 14 day Contiki tour of England and Wales.

Mate, I've been around enough gyms for enough years to recognise the signs of steroid abuse

One symptom alone isn't going to make you a roid muncher but add three or four obvious signs together and you can be 90% sure who is on them or who has tried them.

I don't need statistical analysis to recognise the signs. That's just daft.

But that's beside the point. My point was that adding alcohol to someone with an obvious hormone imbalance isn't going to end up with everyone talking flower arranging or the make up of the universe. It's going to end up with someone getting punched.

The other posters that pointed out the self obsession and sense of entitlement that so many young people display at times doesn't exactly help either.

No offense mate but im sceptical, you basically said any big 20yo is a roid head.

EDIT: In your mind a v shaped back and big arms = Steroids, you actually said that, which is geniused.

Take a 20yo teach them how to train correctly, give them an hour in the gym each day a very good diet and a decent amount of rest and they will have a very good physique after a few months. You dont need to be a proffessional athlete.

I have no f**king idea where this mouthing off and talking shit about peoples mothers came from. Russell stole a couple of ciggies from a girl and the other guy had a go at him about it so Russell did what he did.

merkin deserves every second of those 2 years behind bars

If only you guys had traveled to exotic locations like Auckland or Bali, you would understand this sort of thing is considered normal!!

Go plug your head to a wall....your brain is getting flat.

Hmmm, right -that's a good one.

I would suggest that you talk the police and prosecutors about why he wasn't charged with attempted murder, when you make it so obviously clear that attempted murder was exactly what he was trying to achieve.

Maybe ask them why they didn't even go for grievous bodily harm?

After that, have a Bex and a lie down and avoid listening to Ray Hadley just in case you get yourself all worked up over something else equally outrageous...

It's hard to establish murder. If the kid had died it would have been considered though. In NSW all one needs to do is intend to cause GBH for a murder charge (obviously after someone has died) and I reckon a headstomp would meet that criteria. The prosecution considered very strongly (and the kid was originally charged with) murder in the Thomas Kelly case and this was arguably worse. It's just the victim didn't die.

Definition of grevious bodily harm

"Grievous bodily harm" includes:
(a) the destruction (other than in the course of a medical procedure) of the foetus of a pregnant woman, whether or not the woman suffers any other harm, and​
(b) any permanent or serious disfiguring of the person, and​
(c) any grievous bodily disease (in which case a reference to the infliction of grievous bodily harm includes a reference to causing a person to contract a grievous bodily disease).​

http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/nsw/consol_act/ca190082/s4.html

Quite clear why he wasn't charged with that because luckily his victim was not seriously injured.

The prosecution had a slam dunk with what he was charged with so they went for it. I have no doubt if he killed the bloke they would have very very strongly considered murder because of the head stomp. In many ways packer is a very lucky boy he didn't do more damage. (obviously less lucky than the victim)

I thought Knight Vision peaked early in his incomprehensible stupidity but I was wrong. His every post digs into a deeper, richer vein of idiocy, with VeggiePatch hauling the tailings away. What a team.
