Received a phone call from my sister yesterday. She tells me that a friend of mine had been run down by hoons and is now in an induced coma in hospital.
Apparently a small group of young fellows (18-19yr old I believe) decided to use a suburban street as a race track and skid pan, doing burnouts and roaring up the street at a fair rate of knots. Now he is older then I. Wirey lad. Not much of him, yet very well mannered, softly spoken, polite, hard working family man with children. He was concerned for the safety of not only his kids, but for the safety of those in the street (who I assume, like many kids, ride their bikes up and down the street/driveway etc .....kids stuff). He approached the guys and asked them to quit what they were doing for the safety of the neighbourhood, etc, etc. They, in turn, drove up to the end of the street, turned around and came up behind him, rev the car up and dumped the clutch and ran over him and, from what I understood, proceeded to drive off leaving him in a mangled mess on the road/footpath. The event was witnessed by neighbours who I assume came to his aid. The medical staff tried to get him out of a coma yesterday, however his blood pressure went sky high, as did his temperature. So under he went again. It appears there is no brain damage, just fractures etc. Guess he is lucky that he is a slim lad...... Once again the question is raised: "What is happening within our society today?" |

Sorry to hear about your mate, hopefully he can make a full recovery.
The current generation of 18-19year olds all have a massive chip on there shoulder. They can't be told what to do, they will learn the hard way, that is the only way to get through to them.

That's terrible.....I can only imagine what his family is going through.
My condolences go out to him, poor fella. People who do stuff like this need to be hunted down and sorted out.

Very sorry to hear about your mate, my heart goes out to you all including his family in this really hard time.
I hope he makes a full recovery and I really hope that these horrible low life scum get what they deserve. What a disgraceful thing to do to anyone :( Best wishes to him, his family and friends.

Really sorry to hear that mate.
I think the car scene is maybe going the wrong way in certain circles. It's a little bit annoying why people do certain things. If everyone just stopped and had a think about what they were doing half the time and not be the "Bad boy" just cause someone is telling them to quiet down, it'd make it a hell of a lot better. These type of accidents are only going to hurt the car scene with the government and the cops stepping up and giving all of us a hard time because of a few idiots.I just hope they don't turn around and put a stop to the car scene by introducing laws for emissions, noise, curfews and so on. Take it to the track.

Yeah really sorry to hear that also. Hope that your friend pulls through ok, and that his family and mates like yourself also get through this.
Did anyone get their licence plates? Hopefully someone did and the police can duly take care of them.... |

It's surprising recently the number of times I read something which makes me become enraged...........
I do hope your friends health is restored. The Hoons, I have another idea for them.

It's really hard to fathom how people can do such disgraceful acts.
I hope and pray your mate makes a full recovery and those mongrels are rightly punished for their actions. GK

I am really sorry to hear about your mate, as most people are. I hope he turns out well and I also hope that someone gets those hoons and gives them what they truly deserve.
vandrsxr6 : I sort of found your comment abit a generalisation, me being 18 myself, Do not accept this sorts of behaviour, I am not saying I have never gone out to do circle work myself or something, but when I do, Its well away from people, houses, other cars etc. And as far as doing what they are told, We need to remember that these are even though legally they are adults, mentally they are still kids. In my opinion atleast 60% of the blame has to go towards who brought them up. I end with : Im still scared Sh*tless of my Father. Anytime I think Im about to commit a 'Sin' I just think about the way he will beat my *** all over the place. |

I hope the cops catch the low life or at least natural selection gets to them. That act is up there with some of the worst I've heard of.

Yep. Townsville. As far as who got a number plate. Not to sure on that but I have heard that one of the lads fathers have told him to turn himself in.
As far as these bastards being called "Kids" or "young men", consider this. Australia has sent younger "kids" to die on a battle field so scum like these can roam freely. They are the real men. Not scum such as these. Disgraceful what society is breeding nowadays. It is comforting to read the above posts and know that there is still some reasonable people who do know right from wrong and understand that for every action there is a reaction. Thanks you lot....... I need sleep I think. Nightshift. Haven't slept since 1.00 yesterday. |

Hope your mate comes through ok J.C.
As for the people in the car, purposely running someone down, thats clearly some form of attempted murder isn't it? |

Jesus that is a low act... Really WTF ... There is no justification for a absolute despicable act of cowardice. I have had a first hand experience of this sort of thing many years ago in Kiama NSW on a footy trip away. These clowns drove on the footpath trying to get us , luckily we dove over a fence to escape , lunacy no matter how much we gave them a gobfull...
I hope your mate pulls through. Geez JC you can not take a trick lately hey !!

Sorry to hear that!
I wouldn't go out to talk them to quit hooning- I'd just call the cops.

What a low act, seriously. They've destroyed someones life because they can't hack getting told to take it elsewhere. They should spend time in jail, maybe that'll fix the bastards up, they won't survive inside.

Unbelievable, all we can think about is belting the through everyone (Mainly our children). Two wrongs don't make a right.
Sorry to hear about your mate, hope he comes through.
