Proud of my son!

I also know some feather weight chicks that could easily topple guys that weigh more than double their weight. I've seen them train and I'm just in awe of them. I pity the fool that tries to take them on.

I don't know what it is called. I just stir him and call it Brazilian dance as I studied Japanese Jiu jitsu.

But, as a crim defense lawyer like myself, get him to knock up a statement pronto as he may be called into court to give evidence.

Not to rain on his parade, but he can be charged with false imprisonment and assault, as the grub was running away when your young bloke collected him - but is extremely unlikely.

It's the law, as much as I disagree.

Thanks, his statement was done on the day.

I'd just like to thank all those who showed their support for my original post. I must admit when I put it up I was in 2 minds as there are many "civil libertarians" (do-gooders) in this world.

It re-affirms that many younger folk still really know right from wrong and if this trend continues then we will eventually win out over the others.

I also think that many of us (me, as well) don't tell our kids enough that we are proud of them when they do something well.

Once again, thank you very much.

Personally I think he should have left police out of it and just beat the crap out of him....

LG17 your son is a jet! He should get award and be congratulated for his actions!
He shouldn't have to worry about his statement or his actions.
We have gone to soft on crime, we don't protect the victim or someone who rights a wrong!
Your boy is a HERO, I'm sure the young woman's farther appreciates his bravery

I don't think there would be a chance in hell of the young bloke being charged with false imprisonment or assault.

He used reasonable force to effect a citizens arrest on a thug and criminal. Even if the thug tried to claim assault, i doubt he would have much success.

The offender was detained using minimal force, the cops were called as soon as practicable. Use of force is permissible to a person making a citizens arrest in self defence, or to prevent the escape of the offender.

As you said, it's extremely unlikely...

Good on the young bloke!

Being young (24) and invincible he runs to the front office only to see the young receptionist on the floor holding her bloodied face and an ******** going through the cash drawer.

The robber took one look at my son (6’5”, 105kg, beard, tattoos and fit as) turned around and started running!
It only took a few steps and my ex Rugby son tackled this bloke to the ground, put a sleeper hold on him and then locked him in an empty storeroom.

He attended to the poor receptionist who had a broken nose and jaw from this lowlife while he phoned the police and ambos.

The police arrived very quickly (the robber was still half out of it) and while one copper was delivering the official line, “You shouldn’t have really taken the robber on blah, blah, blah…” the other was giving him the thumbs up and saying, “Good on you, mate!”

I have never been prouder of my son than I am today – he hates injustice and violence towards women which is why he did what he did – that and adrenaline!

Adrenaline will do it!!

If you're a defence lawyer you'd know, BUT in NSW anyway common law, even now with the existence of LEPRA. Anyone can make a lawfull arrest during or immediately after an offence has been committed, and use reasonable force to execute the arrest. In Cairns/QLD who knows?

[LG17]

He is in Brisbane - still Qld, just!

The would be robber is currently having a well deserved holiday courtesy of Her Majesty and the young girl is going really well. She was transferred to the Head Office and is happy working there.

Missed this thread the first time round
What sought of a low-life moron robs a rent-a-car place? and bashes the the young girl?
No place in our society for that sought of filth.
Good on your young bloke, I'm just glad he was up to the task.
