The ABC’s got a story on Paul Joseph Pearson being sentenced to 9 months periodic detention after a blue in a Wanniassa nightclub back in August 2007.

Someone else was rude to Paul’s mate saying “Nice t-shirt poof”, Paul got overly defensive as to his mate’s virtue, noses were broken and who would have thought an arsehole in a Wanniassa nightclub would be an arsehole to the point of pressing charges?

if calling a bloke a poof in a pub and having a bit of a stoush (as long as it does’nt involve a glassing, kicking someone while their down or beating them within an inch of their life) is going to land a bloke 9 months in the slammer, what we have will be overflowing in a fortnight, especially after QEII’s birthday!

If you actually read the story, you’d see it was the bloke trying to break up the fight was the one who was assaulted (broken nose and teeth).

Damn right. I’d love to see more people making assault charges for punch ups. It’s obvious captain RAAF doesnt mind pushing his weight around, which is the problem with pubs/clubs these days. Blokes like that get a few drinks in them and feel its OK to intimidate. Personally, I’d like to see a lot more serious charges put to those who think it’s Ok to settle things with a punch to the face

Wow, PBO, you almost fully channeled me there.

I think that the real issue here is that pink shirts are really gay (not in the homosexual sense) and they should be banned.

So should popped collars, fake spray tans, southern cross tattoo’s, doing laps of civic, latte’ culture, people who post holier than thou responses, the blond haired bouncer at cube who thinks that he is the fashion police, chess pit emo’s (god damn i want to kill you all), drivers with no spatial awareness, All but one window washer (Lindsay, you win), Point to point cameras (FU), dogs roaming the streets and the owners dont care, armchair horatio’s, rabble rabble rabble rabble, Todd Carney, the lack of any real media reporting in the area (present company excluded), Lack of any real public consultation on major and minor works, The lack of “real” Judges and Magistrates, stupid crims (they should learn something from real crims and stop bragging), mobile speed cameras, rabble rabble rabble rabble, people who struggle to think and breath at the same time but still get promoted because they are friends with the boss (yes, it happens a lot in federal government) and dickheads in nightclubs.

Yes they should. There is nothing like putting a bundle of faggots into your fireplace then lighting a hand rolled fag while putting your feet up on a poof.

I think you would get more jail time than said man if you did that.

Why, does she wear gay T-shirts as well?

Why would a dead gay dude go out? Makes no sense. No sense at all.

because they wouldnt take offence and if they got into a fight then it wouldnt matter I guess

What’s the bet the T shirt is one a gay man wouldn’t be seen dead wearing out on the town.

While I appreciate the literal accuracy (near enough anwyway), the colloquial imagery in that post is astounding!

You should totally go for a drink in waniassa. Please post the CCTV footage afterwards.

No thanks, I been to the zoo before.

“He said it was regrettable that some people in the community considered the comment an insult.”
because there is nothing wrong with being a poof with a nice shirt! or so they say.

Nice work. It doesn’t matter where an assault takes place. If you can’t deal with your insecurities without resorting to violence then you deserve a spell in the big house.

Stories like this serve as a stern reminder to be extra careful about t-shirt selection when going out on the sauce in Erindale.

I never liked fluo tshirts and v necks.

I prefer the term “bummer” myself, or occasionally “gaymo”.

” Ideally, the words shouldn’t be used at all, of course.”

Sure it should be used. I love seeing heterosexuals beat each other to a pulp over the use of the word.

I’m surprised he used the word poof. Ever since that song Money For Nothing by Dire Straits (1985) which featured the “that little faggot” verse, the word poof has been replaced by faggot. Maybe homophobes are realising faggot is American crap and the good old Aussie poofter is making a comeback. Ideally, the words shouldn’t be used at all, of course.

I’d say anyone getting jail time for assault in this city is definitely news worthy.

Well reading the article the bloke was trying to break up the fight when he got his nose broke?

Are you saying that if you get your nose broken as a result of trying to help someone you should just let the incident go?

A fight in a pub, shit that’s newsworthy!

They better start building a few more jails because if calling a bloke a poof in a pub and having a bit of a stoush (as long as it does’nt involve a glassing, kicking someone while their down or beating them within an inch of their life) is going to land a bloke 9 months in the slammer, what we have will be overflowing in a fortnight, especially after QEII’s birthday!

Without a picture of the t-shirt I don’t think anyone can say the assault was unwarranted..;-)
