A 17 year old egged the Aussie senator. His cronies went overboard when restraining him. Like he was one of Steve Irwin's crocs.
No problem with that.
The Aussie senator wasn't addressing him.
The kid 'king hit' him with an egg. Low, low move which is a serious problem in Australia.
The kid got one, maybe two for his troubles. Instinctive reaction from someone under attack.
Nobody there had any idea what the kid's motivation was. Or whether he had means to cause harm not ridicule.
The senator's minders/supporters did the right thing in restraining him.
And when it was obvious the kid wasn't going to go away quietly continued to restrain him until the authorities arrived. One of the guys continually asked for someone to call the police.
Age no defence. The kid absolutely knew what he was doing.
Anyone thinking this kid is in the right is as big a twat as the kid IMHO.

Reporter who was at the scene says Anning supporters - 5 or 6 of them - were on the kid putting knees and elbows into him.
I disagree with the egging. I understand Anning reacting the way he did.
5 grown men pinning a kid down with a choke hold, knees and elbows? Nah.

That's a different issue.
Which should be dealt with separately.

What if we think the kid is - clearly - in the wrong, but still want to high five him? Does that makes us Twats too? If so, I’ll wear that.
High five him through the glass.

They'd both be charged in Japan; no self-defence law. If you assault someone, you'll be in a cell.

You won't be alone.
More for the politics thread, but Anning is only in Parliament because he replaced a guy who got 77 votes, but made it in on One Nation's popularity in QLD.
Anning himself scored 19 votes.
He got sworn in, promptly left One Nation, joined another party (Bob Katter) made some appalling remarks and was booted from there.
He's effectively an independent who is only in Parliament due to a (EDIT) party he no longer represents.
The system is well broken.

He's a pig of a man, but you can't do shit like that and the kid deserved to be filled in. Be nice to know the political views of this little hero as well. I'm guessing they're closer to antifa than mainstream. Put them both in a cell together.

The kid was released without charge
-
@ACT-Crusader when the police showed up apparently the kid said "here's the bacon to go with the egg" and the cops laughed.

Horrified and angry to see this. Wasting a perfectly good egg on a piece of shit. That egg could have been poached, scrambled....
-
@Sneakdefreak nah bro. Deconstructed eggs are all the craze....

Controversial opinion time. It's just a name. If it goes anyway to start the healing in the community I could not give two fucks what we call our rugby team. As long as we keep winning of course.
