Paul is now going to watch the video of the attack on Bolt; good on yer Paul!

Paul you said

"PRIME Minister Malcolm Turnbull is being urged to declare the organisation whose members glitter-bombed conservative commentator Andrew Bolt a “terrorist group”...

I ask "URGED BY WHOM?" the bloody Bolt mob, that's who!"

So obviously you have no need for evidence when making pronouncements, yet need proof beyond reasonable doubt when others post. You are clearly a hypocrite.

Secondly as Bolt has been frequently harassed by left whinge activists, and as most violent political activists are left whinge, it is more than reasonable to assume that the masked thugs were left whinge activists.

SR and Doog,

The judgement with respect to reasonable force depends entirely on the victims impression as to the threat on his life. Given the atmosphere of terrorist attacks, an attack by multiple masked assailants, who threw chemicals in Bolt's face that half blinded him, even if one of the thugs was killed, it would be extremely difficult to prove a case of unreasonable assault.

If the delicate flower that was thrashed feels that he wants to lay charges against Bolt he is free to do so, however, I don't see it going well for him.

Hi Paul,

After very careful consideration, I would respectfully suggest that Shadow Minister has a very strong case against you for hypocrisy.

Fascinating: how do YOU know that the thugs were Left-wingers (using the term somewhat loosely ) ? How do you know they weren't thugs to the right of Bolt ? After all, there's no actual 'end' to either extreme ?

Either way, anyone would be entitled to defend oneself against Right-wing thugs OR Left-wing thugs, as Bolt did. As I suggest you would, and I would support your right to do so.

Cheers,

Joe

Dear Shadow Minister,

You opined in my direction;

“The judgement with respect to reasonable force depends entirely on the victims impression as to the threat on his life. Given the atmosphere of terrorist attacks, an attack by multiple masked assailants, who threw chemicals in Bolt's face that half blinded him, even if one of the thugs was killed, it would be extremely difficult to prove a case of unreasonable assault.”

Yet I had already stated;

“While I'm sympathetic to the idea that Bolt may have feared for his own physical safety and reacted accordingly I fail to see how a charge of attacking or of thuggery against the protesters can be substantiated.”

Perhaps you would care to address the point. Does glitter spraying someone now constitute assault and thuggery and if so where does that leave the actions of the religious nut job who thrust a pie into the face of Joyce?

Bolt makes an idiot out of himself every-time he opens his mouth. Him and the fish and chip shop operator would get on like a house on fire. They are complete racist’s
I think SM is a little peeved with the stripping of may the other day. Seeing that he keeps an eye on English politics.
Who ever did that to bolt should have him for assault, and grievous bodily damage. Bolt would get 6 months working for the dole or worse. He had no right what so ever to retaliate, and should be held accountable.
He done far more damage to that bloke, and he got nothing. What a twit he is. Probably a road rage’r, one of the lower class.

' Bolt makes an idiot out of himself every-time he opens his mouth.'

dear oh dear doog. You have given me my laugh for the day.
