Scandal Tigers duo in nightclub brawl

[Dazb86]

Being young or full of testosterone is not a worthy excuse. Shai wasn't defending himself

He was defending his mate. I understand the moral high ground retorting but in this instance they have behaved appropriately. A girlfriend was treated badly, Rioli stuck up for his girlfriend and was punched and then it seems like Bolton has jumped in to back his mate.

That's if you believe the story.

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

The story being told is believable for sure, but...

Do we know for certain the "other" guy/s actually exist yet? Surely we get something from the other side? In a world with cameras everywhere I'm surprised we haven't seen any footage.

Was Daniel punched by a shadow?

Was Daniel punched by a shadow?

We know 2 guys are hurt, 1 has a black eye and the other a broken wrist, Surely soon we get another person involved which will make this clearer.

There is no moral high ground here. Bolton wasn't being assaulted and defending his mate by use of violence isn't a defence either

 

[WillHayward]

Other bloke must have been one tough hombre.
Beats up two professional footy players single handedly and so efficiently he doesn't get in any trouble for it and just walks away unscathed.

That's some ninja Chuck Norris s**t.

 

[Giant Pete]

I’m surprised Tommy Browne hasn’t reported how much gravy they had on their chips.

 

[TW Sherrin]

when does the other side of the story get told?

 

[EasternTiger]

Sometimes you gotta fight when you're a man.

 

[FastLane]

Would that be tomato or BBQ?

Hot Chili- extra spicy!

 

[FastLane]

Sometimes you gotta fight when you're a man.

Sometimes you gotta be a man and not fight- fighting is for children

 

[PenfoldsFan]

So let's assume someone harasses someone you love. A sister, daughter or mother. You approach them and ask them to stop and are hit in the face for it. What do you do, sir?

Well if you have to approach them it would suggest you werent in the direct vicinity when the initial harassment took place, in that moment you would have a choice to make, leave, approach security or approach the harasser, so by choosing to approach the harasser you have escelated it, if you then get punched in the face you've contributed to it by your actions.

Spoken like a man afraid of performing his biological duty and protecting the women and children who matter to him.

The world is full of monsters who aren't interested in talking.

 

[PenfoldsFan]

People who suggest Rioli couldnt walk away are assuming he was on the spot when the initial harassment took place, has this been substantiated?
If he wasnt and she went and relayed the exchange, then he had an opportunity to walk away.

no, he was defending a mate who was being assaulted. what a terrible human being he is.

99% of the time I'd agree with you.

The problem is the 1% you can't walk away from. Then you throw haymakers.

 

[WilloTree]

Wait - he was sober?

Who would go to a nightclub sober?

Those places are putrid even when your off your ****.

 

[FastLane]

Spoken by a man who was a dickhead and spent time in prison for not walking away - I used to think like you- then I grew up.
'biological duty'- what the hell are you on about?
I'm guessing your dad either wasnt around or showed you that fighting was the only way to be manly
Grow up- it takes a real man to walk away.

 

[FastLane]

Fair enough- there may be rare situations where you have zero choice but to defend yourself- but to actively choose to take 'macho moral high ground' instead of removing yourself form a situation is childish and never ends well.

Men have a biological duty to protect, you're bigger and stronger. That's your job. You're biologically expendable if we get down to the nuts and bolts of it.

People don't end up in prison for protecting their loved ones from a threat in a measured fashion. I think there is some subtle nuance to each of our points missing the other person on the way through.

Before my dad died he surrounded me with strong examples of men and my expectations of them were evidently raised.

plenty of people don't drink at clubs

They tend to spend a lot of time in the cubicles though

 

[CheapCharlie]

No reason he had to be involved

 

[3rd Grade Maggy]

Just here for the wattsapp message. Shouldn't it be circulating by now?

"Boys - keep it quiet - but here's what actually happened. You know who I am and who I'm mates with so you know this is legit ..."

You make many assumptions- and they are incorrect- I stood up for my girlfriend I was with being harassed by drunk idiot- asked him to leave her alone- was polite and measured- he and his mates took swings- I had to defend myself and I won- the prize was 2 years jail.
I consider my actions weak- I should have removed myself from teh situation or spoken to security- yet I was young and dumb and thought I was being manly- ironically, my late father never threw a punch in his life- and was the strongest person I know

Strength of mind= real strength

Also- women are natural protectors of families- men in most animal families wander off and do their own thing.

And people who are assuming he went up after the fact are also assuming.

He could also have been right there bloke abuses/assaults his gf, he says oi mate wtf and cops a punch. That also counts as confronting him.

Sorry but if you copped 2 years in the can for 'defending' yourself you either had the worst lawyer ever, are leaving bits out or just plain lying.
