Cue the outrage. That's terrible but I was referring to how soft society has become. Quick to pull out a phone and film from the shadows. So it took some blow-ins from Manchester armed with a mighty milk crate to subdue this bag of bones and you have a nice chuckle at all the memes in your ******** feed. Doesn't help us much does it?
Police should be allowed to pop scum like this and ask questions later. Unfortunately they've got to be sensitive to outrage on social media and subsequent trial by media. "He had a history of mental illness. How could you?" This is where society has lost the plot.
5 years ago a nutter with a poverty pump action sawn-off walks into a cafe and despite being surrounded by snipers in clear view he brings the CBD to a standstill for 16 hours. Once it was established he was acting alone there should have been a smoking hole in his skull. Wrap it up quickly and let anyone else know if you walk into a public place with a weapon and an intent to harm people you won't live much longer.

I don't play computer games champ.
If I saw this unfold on the mean streets of Brisbane I'd quietly pull over and produce a breaker bar which I'm legally allowed to carry for emergencies like changing a tyre or safely removing a knife from someone's wrist before restraining him and waiting for the cavalry to arrive.
Cliffs: More members of the public should be proactive instead of pulling out their phones.

There's no argument there. However there are plenty of people out there physically capable who still reach for the phone too quickly. More to the point — strength in numbers. Thankfully those men intervened. I only wish more people would do that.
This is what I'm talking about. These people were proactive so it had a positive outcome. 5 seconds in there could have been a child in the back of that vehicle.

All I'm saying is, it's easy to talk about what you would do when something like that has already happened.
Talking about your actions from your chair is easy and the general human behaviour is to distance your self from danger.
Regardless of the person's body weight or frame one swing of a knife to you, you're ****ed, dead or hospitalised.
You don't know me either and if I'm in that situation I'm not sure what I would do, as I never been in one, but to talk the way you do is ridiculous. Neg me if you want but talking big on a forum is pretty childish.

Hi, I don't care you neg me that's fine. But this is what you said
"I personally would have put 2 in his chest, and if you ever come at me with a knife i will have no hesitation in putting 2 on your chest too"
Like okay, I was just giving my opinion to Dominick. But you're inciting violence towards me? Why? And how are you going to put two in his chest or mine? Do you have a gun? If so it isn't legal to carry one in Australia.
I'm not sure what rustled your jimmies but you need to relax mate.

Just to clarify I'm not interested in looking like some tough guy here. If this happened to be a group attack or a gun was involved then for sure it changes things and let's not lose sight of the fact law enforcement handling this should always be the preferred course of action. They're armed and trained to handle these situations.
However this was one extremely scrawny looking individual and if old champ with the chair went all in then I can assure you if I said I wouldn't hesitate to do the same then that's how I feel. The main message I was trying to get across had nothing to do with me at all. I like seeing people act, whether that's individually or as a group, instead of hiding in the shadows with a phone.
Sometimes phone or dashcam video is vital especially where a criminal is leaving the scene. If a robbery is in progress and you try to be a hero then for sure it could end badly. If something can be replaced like money then being able to identify them later with video evidence is obviously the best course of action.
Anyway I think you're massively overstating the damage he could do standing in the middle of the street with a knife. Lead by example. Step up to the plate with your milk crate and more will join in just as you saw. This puny little rodent only had as much power as onlookers were willing to give him.

Fined $10,000 for not locking out 300kg deadlift
Fined $5,000 for threatening 2 in the chest and not following through
Fined $15,000 for going to Bali and not coming back with Bin Tang singlets for the boys. I expect you to wear one to your next powerlift meet.
Edit: Just realised after 6 years here that when you neg someone you are telling them that you "disapprove". Fkn rekt.

Wow... one stabbing death and all your ladies start running wild. Mirin thread life.
My 2c, i would have pulled out my 4K UHD shoulder mounted cam corder and got the whole thing ready in prep for my interview with Tracey grimshaw.
Also watched Westside.... those dudes legit have psyche issues. That giant ranger OD'ing like that. Amazing.#61
* The opinions of this salty dog are out of bitterness and spite, no matter the advice given the bottom line is that you should turn the other direction and walk away from law enforcement. Also change your criminal justice major or I will punch your face.

Forget that crisp 4K footage we know you would have parked your squad car around the corner and logged on to the forums to talk tough.
My 2c, we look like the cuck capital of the world when a little pissant waving a knife around in the street makes the news abroad and we have to defend ourselves with milk crates.
