Man in serious condition after New Year's attack

05jan06



POLICE are seeking witnesses to an incident in which a man was bashed after trying to break up a fight on New Year's Day.
The 40-year-old man was walking home from a local pub with his girlfriend about 2am, in the coastal suburb of Doubleview. He tried to intervene in a fight between a man and a woman and was punched and kicked. He fell backwards and hit his head on the road and is still in a serious condition in a Perth hospital suffering from a fractured skull and an eye injury.

Should have stayed away from it.

Well I'm sporting a black eye after going in to get a mate out of a pub brawl in Krakow, after he went in to get a mutual female friend out of a brawl which erupted as a result of a dispute over a pole......have to say the brawl that erupted was like a good old fashioned wild west saloon brawl in the movies!

If the fighting couple had have been aboriginal, would your response to this attack have been the same?

The guy was trying to stop a woman getting hurt, good on him. Maybe if more people stepped in to stop acts of violence & vandalism, crime might start to decrease.

Having stepped in to help in a domestic violence situation.
Stay out of it,afterwards the person stepping in will get blamed for something

Refer to said incident in Krakow bar.......girl starts fight with girl (3 actually), boyfriend of one girl steps in, whole bar erupts, my mate goes in to get girl out, cops a pounding......I go in to get my mate out and cop a pounding......moral should have stayed at the bar snogging gorgeous Polish girl and kept drinking Vodka

Yep, I would have stayed well away from that too. As far away from it as possible.

Yes, but when he is trying to butt into a conflict between two strangers - which he knows nothing about and is none of his business - as a normal person to try and sort it out he puts himself at risk and ends up making a really stupid decision, and therefore he is at fault for bringing his consequences onto himself.

Which is what I am trying to put across. Well any conflict that is none of their business.

My uncle says that when he was young he saw a man beating up a woman and went and started belting the bloke. The woman turned on my uncle and started attacking and abusing him! "I reckon they like it," is his opinion about domestic violence...

Call the police and let them deal with it. If they aren't the ones beating up the woman, that is.

Point I was trying to make, if the couple fighting had have been aboriginal, then we would have had Unit & his mates, starting a thread, saying once again, innocent white man gets bashed, trying to do the right thing. Same as the guy who got his head bashed in by a brick a few days ago, because he tried to stop grafitti vandals, ruining brand new houses. Imagine if the vandals had have been bkack, Unit would have started a thread about how disgraceful it is, yet when whites commit crimes, not a whimper from Unit.

I quite agree but bringing him into it will now just... bring him into it. Not something that will benefit this thread.

I reckon his comment's not far off the mark actually. Not all would like it obviously, but there'd be a fair few that do.
We had a bunch of El Salvadorians living in the church property next door here, and there was a young couple that were friends of the people living in the house (all 15 of them) who would be constantly having domestics out in the street at all hours of the day and night.
One night he belted her one and she ended up over the picket fence into my front yard (a pretty decent smack) and he's then hopped the fence to give her some more. I went out to find out what was going on.
He tells me it's not my problem, I tell him you're on my property you're now my problem, she pleads with me not to do anything, that "he's just letting off some steam" I tell him you've got ten seconds to get off my property before I call the cops, and the immigration department, they scarper lightning quick.
They got deported anyway not long after, they were here illegally.

Gone are the good samaritan days. people just arent trusting these days, or are afraid (rightly so) or getting the snot beaten out of them for intervening.

I've generally found it to be the case ..if you intervene when a female is getting a hiding from her boyfriend...you will have both the female and the male belting you . If they are drunk and fighting ..then leave em to it, is my motto
