90 year old man murdered in Ballarat

[Digger Danny]

Every man should have the right to protect his family no questions asked. As long as it is clear what the persons intent was. What I mean if a bloke ends up in your yard full off grog and does not know where he is and showing no BAD you do not have the right to bash him. How ever if a man shows up in your yard wearing a mask carrying a steel bar the ball is in your court. IMO only.

Cheers, DD

Happily go inside for a few years if protecting my family from imminent harm. Could not live with my self if I didn't do everything I could . Would not be pleasant but some things are worth it.

I hope & trust that very bad things will happen to the offenders

 

[Brutus and me]

If anyone ever hurt one of my daughters 15 years with a little satisfaction in jail to me sounds better than a lifetime of bitterness......
If the courts did there job this thought wouldn't even enter my head

Society is in disarray, morals & fellow respect no longer exist in drug affected and non drug affected people alike.
This has been caused by do-gooders for reasons that elude me by placing pressure on policy makers.
How ever there is a quick and simply way to repair the damage.

BRING BACK THE ROPE.

Correct me if I am wrong. I don't believe it would be excessive use of force if you shot someone who was coming at you with a knife unless you pumped more shots into the offender than required.

Correct bushpig, they would need to prove excessive force however.......you can bet your life it will be the prosecutions best friend in trying to paint you as a careless, lazy gun owner who recklessly killed a man.

Know what i mean?

Yeah I know what you mean Meta. I guess it would come down to you to prove that a reasonable person would have been fearful for their life.

plenty of do gooders say you cant defend yourself with violence,but in court we have a JURY decide and thank heavens for that, as there has been dozens let free for defending there house or shop after offender was killed tight here in Australia.

Howdy all sorry for this as my first post but this website offers one so much to entertain ones thoughts ... Did they ever find out who was responsible for this ? One might be left thinking has this got anything to do with people involved in the recent incident that took place at Ballarat at Canadian involving the police ...

Gday safety1st welcome to the forum,
It's fine that this is your 1st post but make sure you introduce yourself and let us know if your a novice/newbie or have some experience in prospecting.
As far as I can recall, they have charged someone for his murder.
It's still very disturbing about those mongrels trying to hold up someone in the Canadian forest, I often go walking through there as do many others.
Cheers Steve
