Another strand descended into personal vitriol and meaningless assumptions about the 'other' side... I suspect that most of us would have a great deal of empathy - but that doesn't mean we should crucify someone because someone feels like doing it....

Those who know me - know me as a gentle and empathetic person with an enormous depth of caring..... but I will oppose violence as a means to resolve violence with all my might and main....

That... after all.. is what a man does.......

The single greatest cause of violence in this society - regardless of what a professor of Peace Studies tried to put across to me when I showed him the path of light - is the use of violence to control violence....

It Will Never Happen!

thats all well and good.. but what do you think about the ,judge.....was he right ???...do you think his attitude to violence will shake up all those people who think its ok to pull someones hair until they are on the ground where they can really get stuck into them....what the judge calls a kerfuffle that she basically caused.....

do you think this judge is sending a good message????

“Do not hurt where holding is enough;
Do not wound where hurting is enough;
Do not maim where wounding is enough;
and kill not where maiming is enough;
The greatest warrior is he who does not need to kill”

That's what I said - one guy had two free shots at me... on the third I spread him across a table in an RSL, and put my fist in his face and said "don't do it again!" - he tried when I was walking away with two security people in the club - and was close to death, but the security pulled me out of the fight... when I had him lined up for a broken elbow and a broken knee...... let alone a chop to the throat....

That makes four time he attacked me with no reason - all over a woman who fancied me but who he thought he owned - now at what time should I accept some twit that I don't even know and have had no argument with ever... should be entitled to assault me?

At some time you have to stop them cold.... he was lucky..... as a civilised man I allowed the club security to handle it... but at the point of the fourth unwarranted assault... he was a dead man walking.....

It's called discipline....... when you can kill a person with a single blow... you need to be disciplined.. as I taught my children.

Now - I never assaulted that guy - he assaulted me four times.... yet it was only on the last - when he sought to attack me from behind - that he was in actual danger.

I think that shows very clearly the kind of man I am....

Seriously - some of you need to really get a look at the real world of stupid people who want to fight others - often that kind of idiot is called 'a police officer'  or a 'security guy', or just some thug in a club.

Goddamned amateurs all of them.... and their approach shows that to the max.

Now, when I did security for the British Ambassador to Fiji during the coup............ I was never even in close, apart from one time when he pulled up while swimming the pool and had this "I know you" moment while I was sitting reading a book....... that's not how I work..... I don't do 'close security'... I do the rest.

Well - I did.... but I'm retired.....

What has 2 neanderthals brawling in a pub got to do with domestic violence?

You're a little too quick off the mark on branding for my liking mothra.
You saw fit to call my 22 and 24 year old cousins as "thugs" based on a photo of them stood by a flag.

Now you run with Neanderthals?
