Why John, why?

Some people find it very hard to run, many find it easy and age has little to do with it. The fight/flight reaction is not evenly distributed in the population.

Yes, a very brave man.

He deserves our thanks.

But why the hell did he go on Sunrise?

What retard kid? It was no retard and no kid.  What plastic bottle?  It was glass.  You been reading the sewer crap?

Point is, I agree with Peccerry.  Why did that bloke make himself a national headline?

Aussie wrote on Aug 15^th, 2019 at 8:17pm:


As far as I've seen in schools in the last 20 years they do not sell glass drink containers. There are very few drinks even sold in glass. As you would know I have asked about this since you posted about the damage to your car. You refused to answer openly or via PM.

You mean why did he do what he did? That's what made him a national headline. Or perhaps you mean why did he do it on Sunrise? No idea, his choice, I doubt he was thinking about Sunrise when doing what he did. That you two are trying to diminish his actions/motive by his choice of media says more about you.

Me? I haven't questioned what he did, I applaud him, there are far too many people whose flight response is greater than their fight. I haven't questioned his choice of media. It's just probably weight of odds that one media outlet would get access over others. I doubt he thought it a political statement.

Not that I particularly care what you think, as you'd know, but I'm curious. Why am I beneath contempt for my comments?

Yes, your incessant carping both in open and via PM, I ignored, for one simple and obvious reason which is likely beyond you.

There you go yet again.....thinking there is a hand grenade lobbed.  It is obvious...why did the Lawyer allow himself to be commercialised on national TV?  How come you could not work that out?

You said I was "trying to diminish his actions/motive".

I wasn't, and that's obvious to anyone reading this thread.

You used to be a decent guy, Set.

I don't know what happened to you, but I don't like it.

Now you're no better than the likes of The Mechanic, Valkie, et al.

I won't be replying to you any further in this thread, just so you know.

greggerypeccary wrote on Aug 15^th, 2019 at 9:05pm:


I still am, always have been. Actions/motive is a choice. You and Aussie are having a go at him for his motive it seems now in speaking to Sunrise. I don't watch it for reasons you are probably well aware and one of the reasons I don't do TV anymore, but it is popular. It's understandable that he would.

I'm still curious as to why I'm beneath contempt. That's a pretty harsh judgement!

Gordon wrote on Aug 15^th, 2019 at 9:17pm:


And any Lawyer worth the name who was not touting would have told them to far cough.

Gordon wrote on Aug 15^th, 2019 at 9:23pm:


At least this lawyer pinned something worthwhile but how dare him talk to Sunrise...

Is Aussie suggesting he is a hero for pinning a kid to a tree?

Setanta wrote on Aug 15^th, 2019 at 9:43pm:


I don't watch TV, just watched it online now. BTW his office is 5 mins walk to the Sunrise studio, so he obviously chose it for that reason.

In the photo of Mr Bamford confronting the knifeman, I see a tree on the left. Do you think it is large enough for Aussie to have pinned him to it?

Just watched that, not blowing his own trumpet at all. Pretty much "I'm doing this to get you lot off my back, I did what I thought I should do."  We need more people with a less developed flight response like him.

Setanta wrote on Aug 15^th, 2019 at 9:58pm:


You could clearly see he'd rather not be there at all.

The best weapon I could see in area was one of those green bikes. Those things weigh about 15KGs.

I wasn't there so am not the hero Aussie is. Had I been there my hand would have vigorously gone around Aussie's throat ...

Indeed.

Perhaps he's projecting as that is what he did to the retard?

Is there some other expression more appropriate to describe this wishing thinking?

I'll back Aussie up here for a change. There was no mention of his hand (not a small thing) near the throat. He put his hand on the boys chest, pushed him against a tree, gave him a gob full then released him.

Yuck.

It was a loving embrace but our emotions were conflicted.

Where was AiA's other hand while he was fantasizing?

Not an easy thing to do.
One of the 'Heroes' was ex-Military and even he said he 'hesitated' in some moments, but his 'experience' in Iraq helped him to take action.

Sadly for Sydney. Heroes are a rare breed now. The 'community' Spirit died long ago.
Even the Cronulla Riots of Australians standing up against Moslem violence on their Beaches was suppressed by those in Power who don't like others doing a better job than them (Wouldn't want to get the sack now ).
Now Moslems and other grubs are a majority of violence in Sydney.
It's a free-for-all for the evil people. But hey, as long as there is a Mardi-Gras of self indulgence 'love' and vain examples of fashion. Everything will be ok. 

Heroes: 4
Villans: 1544

Nuke Sydney. It's the only way to be sure.
