Does cracking an egg on someone constitute assault? Subjective territory, but I’d say yes you could suggest that.

Wasn’t a great thing to do from the young fella, despite how much Anning “deserved” it. What happened afterwards was much more clearcut. That was an extremely excessive show of force.

Not a great situation all round. Two wrongs don’t make a right (insert Simpsons gif here).

Pretty much, my initial complaint that Gosha seems to have taken such exception to, is that Anning's hasn't been recognised as a 'wrong' despite the disparity in force the two people used. One was arrested, one wasn't.

I don't agree with the egging. Yes it's funny to see a dickhead get embarrassed but all it accomplishes is further intensification of the "us vs them" mentality that is growing not just in Australia but worldwide.

BUT, the response from Anning and his supporters was way over the top. He twice hit a teenager in the face and then, what, three or four grown men tackled him and had him on the ground in a headlock? Was like they needed to show how tough they were.

Just let the police deal with him for ****s sake.

yeah agree with this. found it ****ing hilarious but it unfortunately makes him look like a 'victim', so to speak.

how's the ****er who has him tackled looking up with a big smile?

I've got far less time for the dickhead who followed Anning to the airport and abused him as he got on a plane. The egg is at least somewhat comical and harmless (despite Gosha's assertions that Anning could have dropped dead from such a vicious attack).

My issue with the airport one was the way the go went about it.

Was calling him a fackin campaigner and all that sort of stuff. The Muslim fella would have looked much better if he spoke rationally.

You manufactured outrage and made a stupid declaration that Anning should be jailed. You completely ignored and disregarded the initial provocation of violence out of your hatred for Anning. You made several dumb statements and generalisations which highlighted your inability to view the situation objectively and in isolation. You admitted to falsely quoting me as a result of drawing senseless conclusions in your head. Your hypocritical, biased, predetermined agenda was exposed. You had no credibility the moment you decide to express your dumb opinion. Now you keep mentioning my name because you feel silly and you’re trying to make amends for your complete f*** up. Take the L and move on. You’re just embarrassing yourself now.

I think you need to calm down bud.

I’m perfectly calm. I’m just a straight shooter.

Both Anning and the 17 year old are somewhat in the right here.

The kid for egging the idiot for his stupid comments.

Anning for the instant reaction to being hit with something. Anyone who wouldn’t react to being hit with anything from behind instantly is lying.

Yes Anning is a massive campaigner but he didn’t bash a kid he gave him an instant clip after being hit from behind. And then went back for seconds which for someone like him probably isn’t in the worst 100 things he’s done this week. Everyone going on about it being a minor I’d love to see how many would correctly predict the ages of a group of clean shaven male 17-20 year olds. How’s he meant to know it’s a minor that’s hit him with the egg?

It wasn't an instant reaction at all?

He turned around, stared at him as he backed away and then hit him. Twice.

Thoughts on the other tough guys who tackled and put the kid in a headlock?

My comment was only about Anning whose first hit I think was quite an instant reaction.

The other two were definitely excessive. And is it any surprise considering who they support politically? No need for any physical force to be used to “hold him up” until authorities arrived. Could have easily just ushered him away from exits so he didn’t get away.

I don't think you can call it an instant reaction at all, he turns around, sees the kid and then hits him. And then hits him again.

Good on them for preventing further harm, the kid could have had a knife.

Anning is an absolute spanner though who should be sacked & banned from politics

The kid wasn't resisting though, there's no way you can say their reaction was appropriate.

He turned around and saw a young male 16-20 and gave him and open hand swipe and then went again. First time around I’d say it’s fair game after being hit from behind with an egg. Second one is borderline too far just depending on people’s on personal opinion on how much they’d stick up for themselves when hit/attacked. Some would just even it up with the first hit others would look to get on up on the person who got them. Like I said I think his reaction is probably the 100th worst thing he’s done this week and is nothing in comparison to his press release.

 

[jd2010]

Even copping the couple of hits from Anning it’s 100% worth it for the young fella. Sometimes you’ve just got to cop a whack for doing what is right

If he had a knife then absolutely. Or if he was showing any further aggression whatsoever. But he didn't and wasn't.

You hear the craziest things on the news, “The riot squad was called in after a rave party got out of control”. Why not call the military and a real life Jack Bauer too?

I mean, ****. Between the egg throwing teenager and the rave party, teenagers are out of control.

I’ve got a feeling tonight’s Sunday night segment on the footy boy culture will shock some but this objectifying of woman doesn’t just happen by male footballers. Probably on a higher proportion than the general population but I’ve heard males who aren’t footballers say things about women or talk about female encounters that would be just as bad.

People ridiculed a few who brought up the issue of objectifying women in the women of the WC thread..

You should really stop posting on the Internet. You add nothing and your one word posts are annoying at this stage.

I think he's just confused by you bringing up some random story on a rave.. it was a bit non-sensical.

Not sure what your problem is. I asked you a question. Why would I bother extrapolating further when I could be efficient and do it in one word? Seems utterly redundant to expand when it is definitely not needed.

But given you seem to have issues with my content, feel free to hit the ignore button, champ.
