Take em' to the cleaners

SMH - A teenage student of Lebanese descent had developed a phobia towards young males of Asian backgrounds after he was brutally assaulted by a group of Vietnamese youths, a Sydney court has heard. The attack on the former Birrong Boys High School student, who is now aged 26, occurred when he was a year 11 student at the south-western school on February 26, 1998.

The man, whose name was suppressed in the District Court today by Judge Len Levy, is suing the NSW Department of Education for breach of duty of care. ......He then saw the group of four Vietnamese youths approach him and, although there was a teacher on duty about 30 metres away, the four youths bashed him brutally, knocked him to the ground, kicked him and stabbed him.
If you read the whole article you get the impression that this fellow is angling for a fast buck. Whether that's accurate or not is irrelevant as far as I'm concerned. I have to say, I hope he wins and takes em' to the cleaners. The court ought to see this as natural justice and give it to the fellow as well, unless they're some sort of leftwing social justice court or something who are only interested in justice for the scum of the earth and not the law-abiding. Him and every other person that is a victim of crime in this country should sue and get compensation. Let me explain why.

In our schools, no matter how much caterwauling there is about bullying, non-violence and all that crap, kids are still getting bashed up, teachers are catching it, weapons are carried by scumbags and all that. Yet our laws won't allow the law-abiding kids to carry anything to protect themselves. Therefore within the school, the authorities are responsible for their safety. I understand that all violence cannot be prevented, but by their restrictive laws they are pretending otherwise, to the detriment of the victims. So until they let us try and protect ourselves, they must pay when they fail.

It's the same out on the street, we the law-abiding are not allowed to carry weapons of any sort on us to protect ourselves from criminals. If drug-gangs and criminals move into your neighborhood and start doing their thing, you can't go out and get a gun to protect yourself from them. Recently over in the Sydney area there was some vicious rapist going around raping & terrorizing women, those that heard about the warnings from the police weren't allowed to arm themselves knowing this scumbag is out there.

By not allowing us to protect ourselves, the state must take on the responsibility of protecting all of us, all the time. Yet every day the state fails when many of us we are stabbed, shot, murdered etc. Its duty of care towards us if you will, and because of that the state must pay compensation for the harm that it fails to prevent. Either that or give us our right to take care of ourselves.

I understand we already have compensation for victims of crime, but that ranges from $50,000 to about $100,000 depending on where you live. So depending on where you live, you could literally just be a cheap sack of skin, if that isn't discrimination, I don't know what is. Putting the difference aside, we ought to value ourselves at a lot more than a lousy $100K, unless you're some sort of socialist parasite or something. In which case I'm sure they'd value themselves at a lot more then!

I understand that it's not the state that will be paying if this fellow wins his case, it'll be us the taxpayer, and that's just fine with me too. After all, there is no push from us the citizens to the right to bear arms, most of us are perfectly happy to force everyone else to walk around bare-assed knowing fully well that the state cannot protect all of us, all the time. If we want the right to prevent someone else from protecting themselves with the easiest means available, then with that right must come the responsibility of protecting them or paying for the damages that are incurred.

Take em' to the cleaners.
