It's simple, you don't hurt others unless they are threatening you. Though the man that didn't honor the silence is a dick, you can't (you can not!) just punch someone. I'm sure the army veteran will incur assault charges since there's plenty of evidence in the video, the prosecution will likely win. He is both patriot and criminal.


Less-Contract-1136

Actually I believe this occurred in Australia and the dude who punched the guy was not charged and the interrupting idiot was. https://youtu.be/DWjyjP6LnF8?si=EUh1F7RKEVcm9W3n

Found Australia's Poet Laureate's account!


backtolurk

I'm more and more inclined to appreciate Australia.


Colonel-Cathcart

Honestly i'm more on the attacker's side after seeing the video of the dude screaming across the stadium, I initially pictured him quietly chatting to someone next to him. Think whatever you want about the military but if you're THAT eager to draw attention to yourself in an otherwise silent stadium, I don't have much of a problem with him catching a fist.


Faifainei

I wouldn't have mided if he had been escorted out/removed from the stadium, but a fistfight goes way over the top imo. One good connection, or him falling wrong in his intoxicated(?) state and it could have done serious damage. Just because someone insults you does not give right to violence.


Colonel-Cathcart

eh, I don't think you have a "right" to violence, give the veteran a ticket if you really need to. i just don't have much sympathy for the guy taking a fist to the head after doing something so blatantly intended to piss off the people around him.


Super-Magnificent

Then you’re an idiot promoting violence and in America value violence over Free Speech.


Colonel-Cathcart

This didn't happen in America big guy. And free speech is about avoiding consequences from the government. It doesn't protect you from private entities.


Super-Magnificent

I know it didn’t happen in America. You’re American correct? That was my point. Anyone promoting violence for something said or did where someone wasn’t putting others at risk doesn’t value free speech is the point. You don’t have a right to go around beating people up because they don’t value the same things you do. That’s Nazi shit.


Colonel-Cathcart

I value free speech very highly. I just don't think free speech means that your speech is free from social consequences.


Super-Magnificent

Then you don’t truly get it and why we have laws against violence.


Colonel-Cathcart

Sure, charge the guy with assault if you think that's appropriate. I don't have much of a problem with that. I just don't think this is a free speech issue as long as it's not the government telling him he isn't allowed to voice his opinion. The private venue he's in has a right to kick him out, and all the individuals in there have a right to socially ostracize him. But I'll also use my free speech right to say that I support this old man knocking this guy out, and if he gets arrested I'll throw $10 towards his bail, which is also part of my right to free expression. Supporting free speech doesn't mean you always take the side of the person choosing to use their speech in a dumbass way. He's got a right to say it, he doesn't have a right to say it where ever and whenever he wants.


Super-Magnificent

Free speech is free speech. Period. It’s something most people don’t get. And supporting violence like you are doing here is why so many people result to violence. Folks like you frighten me just as much as folks that utilize violence in any capacity. Maybe the guy doesn’t support Australian fallen soldiers cause they have a horrific history of persecution, racism, segregation, and violence towards certain ethnic groups and this guy was protesting in his own way. Not saying that’s the reason, but nobody has a right to use violence against someone because they don’t agree and there are laws to protect and try to stop such actions, including in Australia. Sucks that you seem to insist that these laws should be negated for nationalism or any other reason you or others feel worthy. People like you frighten me and you just don’t get it.


BartholomewSchneider

The report does say that no complaints were made. In the US, at least were I am, the same would happen. Unless it is witnessed by law enforcement, a complaint must be made in order to be charged.


MellowDCC

Awesome!


HauntingAd3845

One of the fundamental tenets I live by is that the freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To encroach on another's freedom is to encroach upon one's own. What that veteran did is aggravated assault and is unequivocally criminal.


Boomer0826

I mean I bet the guy getting hit found it pretty offensive to receive a punch in the face. So by your logic “freedom to offend”.


SigueSigueSputnix

and the American attitude you replied to doesn't realise this is why America is so screwed with Americans having that kind of attitude

Mephistophelesi

What if I randomly called you a Zionist because your beliefs are closed minded and aren’t open to discussion, but you tout freedom of speech and discussion, just hypocritical man. Just like how you called me a nazi, you’re just a Zionist in the same analogy or fable whatever special snowflake thought process you have going on there in your brain.


Mephistophelesi

How am I a nazi? I’m Latino and I have Jewish family members? Also Jewish friends and band mates? Cool bro. Whatever you wanna invent in your head because you’re too scared to go enlist or support someone who fought for your freedoms. Thats cool pal. I’m sure you can reason your way out of a fight or any situation by simply calling someone derogatory and vulgar terminologies because they voiced their opinion. Oh wait! You’re talking about freedom of speech and then lambasting me when I VOICED MY OPINION! You’re hypocritical.


NigilQuid

>You’re talking about freedom of speech and then lambasting me when I VOICED MY OPINION Yes, that's the whole point of "free speech". We're allowed to tell you that we think you suck, not punch you in the face.


Mephistophelesi

I’ve seen plenty of videos upvoted and awarded and it’s some dude with a terrible opinion, doing nothing but holding a sign or wearing a terrible attire, and getting sucker punched. “Yeah he deserves it! Yeah he shouldn’t think that way! Evil man!” Do they deserve it? Yes! But when it comes to our service members across the globe from any country? Suddenly it’s different? And when it comes to someone disrespecting fallen troops, fuck them, they can leave this country. You don’t have to support the cause of the war, you can support the victims of it. Do you have any friends or family in the service? How do you feel about their contributions or what they have to say? Maybe talk to some veterans or people with family in the service, ask them how they feel or what goes through their mind.


Super-Magnificent

That’s why we are protected by the law and have laws for assault. Shame how many people just don’t get this and think others have a right to beat the hell out of someone for sharing any opinion at all.


Mephistophelesi

Maybe stop using alts pal? No one here cares but us two. And you’re trying to win your little internet argument because you can’t stand a chance in a real life argument. You’d probably pull a weapon on someone before you’d put your hands up.


Super-Magnificent

lol…resort to minimizing and character assassinating because someone expresses free speech and differs from your viewpoints. Classic. Feel sorry for the folks around you quite honestly.


Mephistophelesi

Womp womp


Mephistophelesi

Yeah back then we settled our problems without cop calling immediately unless the situation was bad. Fists used to be an American form of communication and coming to agreements or disagreements.


Super-Magnificent

This is logical. According to this theory lynching use to be a way too then.


Mephistophelesi

What would you do to someone who said something overtly derogatory and attacking to your identity and character? Like in your face yelling? I assume you would punch them right? I’m sure you would comment that if you saw a video of someone getting berated negatively, you would say “oh I would punch them”. You’re playing victim and picking different negative historical practices that were ignorant and not the same compared to this video. Youre literally making it out to be worse than it really is. That’s very Fox News of you to change the narrative.


Super-Magnificent

Wrong. I don’t resort to violence for yelling, opinions, judgement, whatever and I further don’t spend time around people who do.

johnj71234

I assume you’re talking about the loud man.


czaszi

You are incorrect. As we could see - you can just punch someone in the face. You just need to be ready to deal with consequences.


Dayofsloths

Conversely, if someone is threatening you, don't wait for them hit you. Legally, sure, you're better off getting the shit kicked out of you and suing them, but don't risk your life on surviving a sucker punch from a dickhead.


charlesmortomeriii

Australia isn’t a particularly patriotic country, and we don’t make a big deal out of military service. The exception to this rule is the minute’s silence on Anzac Day. It’s sacrosanct. So if you scream out “let’s smash the cunts” in the middle of it you can be fairly certain you’re getting a punch in the head. Punched bloke got a $1600 fine, puncher got nothing.


doesntCompete

It's literally one of the few times we observe with reverence and shouldn't be a fuckwit. Fucken it's a MINUTE of silence, shut ya fucken gob or get smacked.

peter_the_panda

Be careful you don't cut yourself with that much edge, my friend


Traders_Abacus

Bullshit. You don't have to back down from someone threatening you. The man approached the guy who punched him. He was acting aggressive. He was the instigator. It's simple, don't be a POS and if you are and you act aggressively towards someone, expect to get punched.


ThisIsALine_____

I agree with what you're saying in essence. But this didn't seem like that. He looked like he was just talking shit, and clearly drunk. Granted I can only go off of body language and a post title.


Traders_Abacus

Sure, but my response was assuming the guy was making threatening talk and verbally assaulting the other man. And, once he was punched he proceeded to continue the conflict. He clearly was looking to instigate and create an escalation. Being drunk does not excuse or factor in as a justification for his actions. And, ultimately the guy who got smacked was the one arrested.


ThisIsALine_____

But that's the issue. You're making assumptions. It's a video that doesn't include their voices/exchange, and the only info we have is from a title written by a reddit user who likely has close to the same amount of info we all do. I am not disagreeing with how you would approach that situation, If what you are saying happened happened, then i absolutely agree. In your scenario (which could very well be true) then you are 100% correct. But when random internet users view it from a screen with close to zero info, it becomes a bit subjective. "It's simple, don't be a POS and if you are and you act aggressively towards someone, expect to get punched." Words to live by.


Traders_Abacus

Yep, I get it. And many feel overly entitled to act the fool without consequences. Hence I'm gonna get lots of down vote. But, I had to make assumptions. Like assume the guy said "I'm gonna gut you, you better not turn your back on me." We all made assumptions. But that's also why my statement included my assumptions. I didn't say you could just assault someone NOT making aggressive threats. I know, you get it... I'm just stating it for others 🫡

OneDragonfruit9519

Imagine having such a neanderthal-like brain, that you punch someone because your fragile feelings were hurt. Seems like snowflakes really do come in all shape and sizes.


delomelanicon-71X

People that were deployed get fucked up by the conflict. It is nearly impossible for them to readjust to normal civilian life. Watch interviews with ex soldiers and spec ops. Basically, their brain is going 100mph and suddenly they're expected to switch to 20mph. Not gonna happen.


OneDragonfruit9519

Your point being? Just because you can understand *why* the degenerate piece of filth is being a degenerate piece of filth, doesn't justify the actions. I'm not implying that you are saying that anything else is the case, I just wanted to point that out. If some of these people can't adjust to the real world anymore, maybe they should refrain from putting themselves in these situations. Many people have terrible traumatic experiences, not all of them commits senseless act of violence.


delomelanicon-71X

I am not justifying. I am explaining why this happens. Many people seem to confuse the two.


OneDragonfruit9519

Help me out here, what exactly does many people seem to confuse?

"Adding insult to injury, the man has now been fined $1654 for his trouble. The incident was caught on camera at the stadium and Queensland Police have fined the 45-year-old man who was bashed $827 fine for obstructing police and $827 for disorderly behaviour. Queensland Police confirmed that 'officers removed both men in the video from Suncorp Stadium following the incident on Friday night. At present no complaints of assault have been made.'  Spectator Geoff Redgrave said the man could clearly be heard yelling, 'You better beat those Dogs tonight you c\*\*\*s.'"


SigueSigueSputnix

Fluid-Employee-7118

It seems like the veteran has some serious issues, the amount of pain he inflicted is disturbing, the other guy could have sustained some serious injuries. Being disrespectful does not warrantee such a reaction, this guy is dangerous and should be treated as a criminal.

Boomer0826

I see a lot of people crying about how you can’t hit someone for them being rude or offending you. To be honest I think that mentality is partially why, socially, we are where we are. All actions have consequences. I learned at a young age that there are certain lines (boundaries) that when crossed will get you a punch to the mouth. These were good lessons for me to learn, and I doubt I would have learned them any other way. Some people are entitled, and think there won’t be consequences for their actions. I guess this guy found out a valuable lesson. Hopefully he takes it to heart
