Thread: Will Australians please take a deep breath, and stop being so up themselves?

This guy in his rage has taken out 1 dialysis machine and caused several others to have to stop treatment.


Im told the tax payer pays about $90k per year per kidney dialysis patient , next day the cops bring this guy back for his treatment.. So 4 cops have to be present whilst this looser gets treated, another waste of resource's and we are supposed to fell sorry for this type of person because they have a self inflicted addiction.

Time for the do gooders to be pushed aside and some true justice dished out = you want to abuse the system and the people in it trying to help , then go without and see how much fun it is. Far to many need the help and will welcome it with open arms not abuse it.

Cheers Ean

Yep, totally wrong. No treatment until he is just about on his last breath and then have his Centrelink payments garnished until he has paid for the damage he caused. And finally a written letter of apology to all the staff he terrorised. Also I believe all suppliers and pushers should face a bullet if convicted.

Queenslander, copper, postman, truck driver, categorize people as you like, they all fit into the same bell-curve; 90% decent folk, 5% grubs and 5% exceptionally great community members.
Road rage and other bad behaviours can come from anywhere, even the least expected quarter.

On the original clip; that was a ballsy move by the assailants. If I'd been driving the truck, I'm sure my foot would have slipped off the clutch, causing minor damage to the bullbar.
Mr Tins, please enlighten me, I thought the steps on those Fruitliners retracted when the door was shut.

You are correct Ian. I was hoping to create discussion on a subject where some members are convinced the victims should be what ? treated like scum of the Earth? That attitude permeates thru this thread. This obviously from people who have never made a mistake in their life. Why aren't members up in arms about the scum who supply these drugs. Admittedly, I chose the cohort whom react most vehemently to criticism, hoping to drag into the conversation those whom I had hoped would take hold of the subject and shake it by the throat. Unfortunately, it seems this is just too much of a negative subject for rational discussion. Or perhaps it's just another case of who cares, I'm ok jack. No offence meant to Victorians BTW.
