Dear loudmouth,

“anybody with half a brain would do what Bolt did”

Truer words was never spoken.

If you are asking would I react to someone spraying me with glitter by repeatedly punching and kicking them then the answer is hopefully no.

That is not to say I am incapable of over-reacting on occasion. There are quite a few incidents where I really should have walked away but didn't. One in particular where I was prepared to put someone who had stolen from me through a large window to get his mates to back off. I was pretty shaken at being willing to potentially maim someone over some shop stock. It made me take a good look at myself.

Most people who initially might have reacted the way Bolt did would probably be thinking afterward that using fists and boots because of some glitter spray was a bit over the top. I doubt though it is within Bolt's emotional range, especially with ratings in the offing.

There is nothing in that short bit of video that in anyway supports Bolts claim that he was "attacked" by left wing Fascists. In fact it could just as easily be interpreted that the whole thing was a set up.
Unless there is supporting evidence to the contrary. Bolt would have more to gain from sympathetic publicity than anyone else.

Leoj when it suits, you will apply a double standard. Get off your high horse, The police use the word "copper" as does the rest of the community, as evident by the official police bumper sticker which reads 'COPS ARE TOPS'.
Why didn't you jump in when Joe used the deaths of 6 or 7, innocent Australians to score a political point? You passed it over, because the point favored your way of thinking. You can't have it both ways. Elsewhere you demand evidence, yet here you gleefully accept Bolts word as evidence. Again because it suits your politics. When it don't you will carry on like a pork chop.

Hmmm, in the last scene the attacker facing toward the camera shows
he is prepared for fisticuffs. He changes his stance when the man with
his back to the camera shows up.
I cannot see any jury convicting Bolt after that video.
Just looked at it again. It was two against one, plus the cameraman,
one was wearing a hoodie, in the last shots both were shaping up to
start punching. They were not attempting to run away.
It seems to have ended when the other man turned up. He shouted
"Whats going on ?". Was he the restaurateur ?

Still can't see a jury finding guilty there.

SR,

There is no doubt that Bolt had every right to defend himself against the masked left whinge extremists who half blinded him with their first assault. That they tried to assault him further before bravely running away is also clear.

In managing to humiliate the left whinge extremists (yes Paul you can stop your laughable bleating to the contrary) he made them look pathetic, and probably reduced the chances of them repeating their violent assaults.

The cherry on the cake would be these thugs getting criminal records.

Ah Shadow, and I thought you were a legal expert, so you claim. In absence of any creditable witnesses, with no evidence, and unnamed accused. Who exactly are you finding guilty of this heinous crime? The Tooth Fairy!

I see Bolt is still cashing in on the whole affair. Auctioning off the infamous pair of undies, or some such item of paraphernalia, he was wearing at the time. And to make it worse Bolt will throw in two copies of his crappy book to boot.

If it had been Richard Michael Di Natale who was attacked with, to him, unknown substances, then Paul would be singing a different tune.

Three cheers for Bolt and anyone else that stands up for themselves and fights back, even a Green!
