Actually mantis, I need to know, how hot was she? If she was pretty cute I'd jump in, if she was smokin' I'd have killed the bloke and if she looked like dog shit I'd have bashed her myself for letting herself get so ugly.
You're a leader among men, Karl.

Was just told about a bloke up here who was walking his dog when he saw some fella having a go at his missus.
Told him to leave her alone.
Is now in hospital after being belted to the ground then kicked after he was knocked when his head hit the pavement.
Bet he's glad he stepped in.

Yep, good thing he behaved "like a real man" as some of the female posters in this thread have suggested.
Bet that will help him through his recovery.

A quick google search also revealed a few other recent case studies in regards to blokes who stepped in to help strangers.

Regarding that last one, wtf didn't his mates help?
He had four mates with him who stood there while he got stabbed to death.
I mean yeah he's an idiot for trying to stop the first assault (especially when it's Viets, nothing Asians hate more than people getting involved in their Asian vs Asian fighting) but christ, how pissweak are his mates when four stand and watch two attackers kill their mate?
I suppose they had knives so it is a bit riskier but you gotta do something.
I wouldn't jump in for a stranger in any circumstance, but if its a mate its a sure thing even if they're in a fair fight. You just have to.

Firstly, it just says 'friends'. Quite likely that at least one of them was a girl; they might all have been girls.
Secondly, it seems the 'attackers' weren't for mucking around. Had the friends 'stepped in' they would likely have suffered the same fate - unless they were armed, too (which I imagine they weren't).

Yeah if they're girls it's fair enough (love equality though, perhaps they should ahve acted like 'real women' ?).
But even with a knife, four on two you should be able to at least get them off your mate. I've been in fights involving knives before, (cause I'm fully sick) and I'd still take on a knife-wielding Asian for a mate. Especially if it was 5 on 2.
How are they going to live with themselves knowing they bitched out and their mate is dead?

Exactly - what type of guys "plead" with attackers to stop when their mate is lying on the ground, with 5 stab wounds & getting the shit kicked out of him?

That's true. As much as I hate all the talk about 'real men' needing to step in to save strangers, if its your mate getting knifed right in front of you, you officially lose man status if you don't do something about it. His friends are girls now, regardless of whether they were classified as girls the night before or not.
Werent they at a 7/11 store?
Even if they did have a knife you would think the mates would grab something in the store and try to defend their mate.
Even if they went to the fridge and started to throw coke bottles at them haha.
Common getting hit in the face with force with a 1.25L coke would kinda hurt!
Sounds stupid but i'd at least try shit like that to defend a mate rather than stand back and watch someone stab him to death.

And usually the guy behind the counter has something to protect himself with, just in case. I'd be going for that.
Either way, you can't sit there in that situation. But back on track with the thread, this guy has paid with his life for trying to help someone in need.
The moral of the story is **** the world and everyone in it, look out for number one.
There is only one solution. We all need to be armed. Why not be prepared? I want an extendable baton like police and security guards have, strapped to my ankle.
As always, the piece of shit that did this will not receive an adequate sentence. By adequate, I mean 20-25 years incarceration. Tell me I'm wrong that the perpetrators of these random murders never cop 20+ years. I don't want to hear about any bullshit mitigating circumstances.
Just remember people, scum out there are prepared to kill, and if you ever find yourself in such a violent situation, leave the softly softly approach at home. If the victim was able to, or if his mates had have intervened, they should have all been prepared to do whatever was necessary, and if that means kill in self-defence, so be it.

Plenty of people get given 20 year sentences, but they don't get reported. Something like this, if they can even find the attackers, will be very harsh sentencing seeing as they actually tracked the guy down and killed him rather than killing him in the spur of the moment.
You'd have much less of this stuff occurring if we were allowed to carry concealed weapons.
You mean like in America?
How do you suggest the current level of (fatal) violence will ever be reduced? I agree that more weapons will probably result in more violence, but I'd rather have something to protect myself with.
You just don't hear enough reports of the violent instigators being bashed or killed.
Maybe we need Tom Cruise and a Precrime department.
Despite the popular perception that crime is always going up, the crime rate today is reasonably low. As far as I understand it, violent crime in Sydney has only gone up or remained high in areas that have increased their number of late-trading licensed premises. So discouraging people from getting absolutely shitfaced, and increasing the police presence in trouble spots, might make sense, and they're options that are being looked at up here.
But the fact is violent crime is always going to be with us to a certain extent. Especially around areas where people drink.
And I'd say that the reason you don't hear of too many violent instigators being bashed or killed is because these things usually happen without warning, and are over very quickly. It's not pistols-at-dawn.

Turns out all of his friends were women, good guess fd.
The reason why attackers never get killed or injured is because when they are bashed or killed they get described as the victim. I'd say a large number of people killed in Melbourne streets are people that have started fights and got what was coming to them, only to be hailed as some kind of innocent saint following their death.
Sad though.

My perception is that regardless of the absolute level of crime or violence, that serious and fatal crime is up. In Melbourne's inner city, were as many people being murdered randomly 5 years ago as is happening now? I get the impression that more people are left fighting for their lives these days than ever before, even if the total number of violent offences is down.

Since the restrictive gun laws JWH brought in, murder and assault with firearms has increased. Whether this is the cause or not is up for debate, but there's definitely a correlation between removing guns from legal owners, and increased use of same guns by criminals.
Not sure on standard violent assaults.
