Instant bush justice.... ah the good ol' days!!

Just came home from supermarket where I saw a beauty.

Proverbial little old lady trying to back out of marked disabled car park when the proverbial bogan moron roars up in his moron heap, blasts his horn and starts swearing at her. Said little ol' lady starts crying and freezes. More abuse flies until proverbial big nasty bikie walks over an punches bogan moron in the face.... Fair reset his chronometer

There be hope for the species yet!

While not the worst outcome, teaching the moron that violence is a way to solve problems isn't the best outcome. Taking the moron's car keys away until he apologized to the lady would have been preferable.

Bravo. Violence was not the best answer, but effective none the less.

We were in Brisbane yesterday for the robot show at QUT (disappointing, sadly). Had to do a 3 point turn in a narrow suburban street. Bogan with girlfriend come along, and instead of stopping and waiting 5 seconds, go around me on the inside, when I was going forward. Fricking nimrod P plater.

Part of me is saying 'I don't condone violence' while another part is cheering.

Sadly I have found that these types only understand violence, they are incapable of anything more sutle getting through to them.

I can certainly relate , though I try to be a better person than my gut reaction would indicate.

Sounds like the biker dishing out the violence doesn't know any better.

The problem is that, even if using violence for good is seen as justified, it's a 'solution' only available to a relatively few. I won't be jobbing anyone and I suspect most of the others on the forum wouldn't do so either. What would be better to see is someone take the lead in telling off the bogan and other passers by - men and women - joining in. I'd say 4-5 people telling him off would see him back down pretty quick. Unfortunately this isn't how we're trained to act so it's quite rare. What would have been gold of course would have been the little old lady composing herself, pulling herself up to her full height and giving the bogan a gob full. (For this reason the bogan ought to avoid my aunty Iris. )
