The incident gained national attention after a video showing two children cable-tied on Radelic's property was live streamed on social media.

He was not given a fine, it was suspended for 12 months. He has essentially escaped consequence, which is just so disappointingly unsurprising for Western Australia.

Is Western Australia like Texas?

A girl (American) I gamed with who married an Aussie, described Australia as a lot like America but more racist. Granted, that was 10yrs ago. So, maybe?

[-] Brickhead92@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

30% of Australians are casual racists, which means the other 70% are full time.

It seems like country's that were/are heavily influenced by American culture are more racist than ones that aren't. I wouldn't be surprised if that was wrong though, humanity as a whole is pretty xenophobic

Similar to Texas, it has its own secession movement.

Nice to know that I can restrain people in anyway I deem fit if I decide they are trespassing on my property, as long as I contact the police at some point... So reasonable. I hope someone does the same shit to him next time he goes to buy his roids.

What the fuck is wrong with some people?

Interesting that the same use of force on a third child wasn't unreasonable just because the kid managed to escape...

Why aren't the parents in trouble? If I let my 6 year old daughter break into someone's backyard and swim in their pool I'd lose custody. This is the real problem.

[-] eatthecake@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

In Australia you have to have a fence around any backyard pool, including shallow little blow up pools, because children will get into your yard and drown. So I guess it's expected. Also, going into someone's yard to get a lost ball was pretty normal when I was a kid and would not have resulted in losing custody.
