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?

[-] Meron35@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Similar to Texas, it has its own secession movement.

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

Decency is stored in the neck.

What the fuck is wrong with some people?

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

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@discuss.online -4 points 2 months ago

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 -1 points 2 months ago

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

[-] StopJoiningWars@discuss.online -3 points 2 months ago

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 0 points 2 months ago

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

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

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

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

[-] kerrypacker@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

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?

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

[-] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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

[-] Maalus@lemmy.world -1 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

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.
