Matej Radelic is given a spent conviction and a fine after being convicted of two counts of aggravated common assault, after cable-tying the hands of three children in Broome.
The incident gained national attention after a video showing two children cable-tied on Radelic's property was live streamed on social media.
He was not given a fine, it was suspended for 12 months. He has essentially escaped consequence, which is just so disappointingly unsurprising for Western Australia.
A girl (American) I gamed with who married an Aussie, described Australia as a lot like America but more racist. Granted, that was 10yrs ago. So, maybe?
Nice to know that I can restrain people in anyway I deem fit if I decide they are trespassing on my property, as long as I contact the police at some point... So reasonable. I hope someone does the same shit to him next time he goes to buy his roids.
But he wouldn't be trespassing unlike them? So what non-argument is that, even... I swear people love cancel culture these days without even reading the articles.
Why aren't the parents in trouble?
If I let my 6 year old daughter break into someone's backyard and swim in their pool I'd lose custody.
This is the real problem.
In Australia you have to have a fence around any backyard pool, including shallow little blow up pools, because children will get into your yard and drown. So I guess it's expected. Also, going into someone's yard to get a lost ball was pretty normal when I was a kid and would not have resulted in losing custody.
