Yesterday, Andrew Bolt was set upon by two masked thugs. Andrew was sprayed the face with an "oily" liquid, upon which he punched his attacker in the head and kicked him in the crutch as he went down. The thug and his mate fled.

Good on you Andrew.

I had to check if that was true, and google tells me it was. Good on Bolt..but shaving cream and glitter?

Maybe they belong to one of the 550 gender types that seem to be floating around these days.

Wouldn't real men use something a little stronger?

Three of them, one filming and glitter with foam and dye a report says.

Unprovoked assault in company with two others? A magistrate should be taking that charge quite seriously if it eventuates.

None of them has had the decency to apologise to their victim, then or later. And of course so far no report of any of them turning himself in to the police.

The message to take home for public figures, the public too, is that the presence of security cameras and being in a public place do not deter offenders.

Sure causes concern about the safety of female family and friends and young student relatives who are out and about, especially in off-peak hours.

If they do get caught, & go before a judge, you can bet one of our modern milksop judges will encourage them to go further next time, by rousing on them, & letting them off with no conviction recorded, in case they are now, or want to join the bureaucracy some time in the future.

Bolt is really taking a huge chance retaliating. He must already know that in our courts it is only the victims who are punished if they defend themselves, the offenders are always let off, given another chance, particularly if lefty activists.

just like the bullying leftist thugs tried to silence Margaret Court so they have tried to with Bolt. Socialist know their dogmas are dead and detest anyone pointing out the truth. Thankfully the thugs always overplay their hand and the general public sees through their thuggery and deceit. We have seen the same behaviour against anyone exposing the gw fraud, perverting the marriage act or standing up for the rights of the unborn. I suspect many of these thugs belong to the getup clowns funded by haters of the West such as George Soros. Most of these thugs would also be supporters of the overfunded abc as it usually spews out their dogmas and derides anyone with a contrary view.

Hasbeen,

You are right.

NSW citizen were given back the right of self defence, a right that is only superficially available elsewhere in Australia.

If it was Queensland and one of his attackers had gone base over apex injuring himself, Bolt would likely have faced serious charges himself and been required to defend himself again and under the reversed standard of proof that applies where a person defends himself or loved ones.

Fortunately in NSW the very practical Shooters, Fishers and Farmers Party got rid of the reversed standard of proof that re-victimises victims of assault and home invasion and it is the police who (rightly!) are obliged to prove that the defender was not in fear of harm and so on. Restoring the usual, traditional, legal rights of ordinary citizens was resolutely opposed by the treacherous NSW Greens, who as one might realise, have very little concern about the public and victims of crime, preferring to bolster criminals' 'rights' wherever they can.
