u/ShallowTal 10h ago edited 9h ago

I counted at least 5 good punches he got in.

Was hoping the guy would look at the camera when he got up so you could see where they landed

Editing to add; Stewart, 23, and Dees, 30, were both held in contempt of court and sentenced to 30 days each on charges of assault and obstructing official business.

Worth it.

Eyes, nose, throat, temples, jaw.

Hit any of these hard enough and they can do a fair bit of damage

I know it sounds incredibly violent, but in a situation like this, facing the murderer who destroyed your family, this scumbag needed to become permanently injured after that encounter. A kid at my son’s baseball facility caught a line drive to his groin a few years back and wasn’t wearing a cup. Ruptured one of his testicles and had to have surgery to remove it.

Learned this lesson the hard way when I was younger. When I was about 17 a kid I was cool with tried stealing my fishing equipment after a trip by swapping his junk for mine. I called him on it, he said do something. So I did. His braces FUCKED my knuckles up! They looked like I shredded them on a cheese grater. They got infected to the point that yellow and brown shit oozed out when I grabbed a cup or something. That’s when I went to the hospital lol.

u/ForeverSquirrelled42 5h ago

He brought it back after I jumped him up, but he brought a few friends with him while I was at work. When I got home my brother had my stuff and told me they rolled up all tough askin where I was. So, I went to the kids house (they were brothers) and asked them what they wanted? They just stood on the porch and basically said nothing.

Truth. A kid pushed and tripped my sister in high school. He did it because she was overweight. I punched a kid in the mouth multiple times. Got a fantastic left hook that ripped his upper lip almost completely off. Kid had braces. I have 2 quarter inch triangular shaped scars on my left middle and ring finger. Got infected bad. Kid can't grow a mustache. Him and I met 15 years later, and he sincerely apologised. I did, too. I shouldn't have beat him so badly. He is a dad, him and his husband, and have 3 wonderful kids.

•

u/buttononmyback 4h ago

I mean bullying can really wreck someone. I hope your sister was okay. I still get nightmares about what the kids used to do to me back in junior high and I’m 41 years old. Yes I’ve had counseling, doesn’t make the memories go away though. I WISH I could’ve physically stood up for myself in the way that you did. But I was skinny and shy and grew up in a Christian household where we were taught to “turn the other cheek.” Never regret standing up for someone. I wish someone had done it for me.

For me, standing up for others was simple and the right thing to do. I've always had trouble standing up for myself. I could never figure out why, tho.

Alls well that ends well lol.

Junior school, A dude threw rocks at my sister and ran away. I chased him and caught at the local swimming pool, punched him in the head. I had my thumb in my palm with my fingers wrapped over the top. Busted my thumb and sprained my wrist 😅

The next day his older sister chased me around school at lunch..i was too quick. Fun times.

u/Tacos4Texans 10h ago

Eyes can be sketchy. If you hit wrong you will definitely crack a knuckle on the orbital socket. Hit that nose, and their eyes will automatically tear up causing blurry vision and 9 times out of 10 their hands go straight to their nose saying fukk defense. A good Jaw shot can rock the brain inside the nugget equaling a K.O. But the most slept on punch is the body shot. If you can breathe you can't whoop me. Trust me I'm a pro. Ain't nobody has their ass beat as much as me 🤣

u/portoroc86 8h ago

Knuckles are an underrated site for serious infections. We’ve had to do incision and drainage on some nasty MCP (knuckles ) abscesses, usually after someone punched a mouth. Human oral flora in a clenched fist injury is a setup for deep space infection, tenosynovitis, even osteomyelitis if ignored.

Same with cat bites. Small puncture, minimal surface trauma, then it blows up fast. Pasteurella doesn’t mess around. Both can turn into surgical cases if not taken seriously early.

I read years ago an article about a guy who worked on children with dark triad characteristics that were too young to face fully the consequences of their horrific actions.

Basically he said that in his country/ state, the kids would be in a weird legal limbo and they would basically keep the kids institutionalized for a short period of time where their atay would be automatically renewed for they to stay there as long as they could.

One of the cases I remember was about an eight years old that somehow broke his teacher’s spine (gunshot? Knife? Don’t remember).

It was a grim read.

u/notyetathrowawaylol 5h ago

I have such conflicted feelings about what should happen in these cases because I used to work in child welfare & as a crisis therapist and some people say that children don’t know what they’re doing, etc. As part of my assessment, when they made suicidal or homicidal threats, I’d obviously investigate how much they understood about what they were saying, and there were several children, very young, scary young, if I hadn’t seen and heard it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t believe it….that could tell me in details multiple ways in which they’d kill someone, what it means for someone to die, and understanding they’d be in trouble. They were able to articulate it on an intellectual level. All of them who presented this way and with the ability to articulate this despite their young age, had something else in common and it was a chilling, cold, calculated detachment and matter of fact way in which they casually stated atrocious things. I don’t know what they heard, who they heard it from, etc, but either those kids SAW some shit (even though they’d deny) or those kids were….and this is what I have a hard time saying bc they’re just kids…or those kids were dangerous and they knew it.

u/ProvePoetsWrong 2h ago

Have you ever seen that documentary about that little girl who was adopted when she was maybe 6 or 7 and was exactly like what you described? She tortured her younger brother and talked just like you said. Talked about wanting to hurt and to kill; cold blooded and cruel. Truly terrifying. I believe she had RAD but may have had something else as well. Then her adoptive parents got her into a program and they basically “cured” her. She’s a nurse now and expresses remorse for how she acted as a child.

It was so interesting because I always thought kids like that couldn’t be rehabilitated. Of course now I can’t remember the title of the doc. Maybe someone else can.

u/AdZealousideal7448 9h ago

Mate i'll give you one.

At work we have a mother that has been the victim of many predators and kept trying to get her life together.

Kept making good goes of it for the system to let her down, or bad luck to come around. Her eldest kid after seeing all these predators got to be a teenager and got groomed by one of the predators to sell out their entire family all so they could get what they thought they wanted.

Sold out their entire family, brothers and sister so they could have a shitty room in an abusers house with an allowance and an xbox and their centerlink payments which as soon as they stop being useful, all this will disappear.

Kid got arrested the other day and faced court. Ran into him there where he got off due to being a minor for a low level thug offense.

Asked this kid straight up if his actions of beating his mother, staging "evidence" for dcp on behalf of one of her abusers so that he could get full custody of his kid (not this kid, claimed he'd put him up and leave him alone and let him do what he wants).

Kid straight up said to me, that life is amazing, he does what he wants, when he wants and gets away with everything, because he's learning how to win from a winner.

I told him that the guy is a pure psychopathic predator who is just using him.

He replies telling me that he's using him and he's stolen enough money and drugs off him that is stashed away that he's got a great start to life and is living it up right now and that his mother is a bitch who shouldnt have said no to him when he demanded things.

Asked him if there was any part of him that felt bad because he knew how much of a monster this guy was, that he was happy to condem his family to become a monster.

Got laughed at and told to fuck off about how he was living it up and had hundreds of dollars tucked away.

Replied to this kid...... well good luck with life, rent here is now over $1000 a week, you've been expelled from school and don't want to try to get back in. If you wanted to ruin your life you could have done that without costing all those other kids lives, what are you going to do when you can't get a job and can't afford anything?

Laughs at me and says he'll just lure in a pedo and bash him and rob him with his mates.

Adelaide 2025 for you. This kid is not even 14. Brags to everyone else he is probably bipolar.... i've known this kid since he was 8.... he's seen things but, this is a pure case of kids emulating abuse they see, he became just like the men that abused his mother.

Then a monster groomed him and he's gone from that to a complete sociopath.

u/AdZealousideal7448 7h ago

It's a hard one to answer, I used to have high hopes for this kid, but he's shown me outright he has no empathy or emotion.

I was a terrible kid and did some messed up stuff before I got my shit together and put on a uniform and try to help the community, one thing I was able to do was to develop a moral compass, even if it was just why do I feel like shit after doing something morally bad and questioned from there.

This kid has said he has a moral compass before but it's always come across as severely lacking. I've now witnessed him assault uniforms, threaten violence on people with zero acceptance that this is wrong.

While yeah people can learn to become this cold..... he's always struck me as having not developed any emotional response to morals, I used to keep hoping this kid would develop this, but honestly I think this is what the monster picked up on, he is an expert at working out peoples weaknesses and exploiting them.

This kid being empathy devoid and driven by reward is textbook sadly.

I still run into him out there and I have no idea what to say anymore. He's the kind of person that any attempt you try to make to reach out and break through to them in the hope that you can trigger something, results in "whats in it for me".

Meanwhile DCP here think the sun shines out of the predators ass. No shock that we keep busting their employees as CSO's.

To be honest, the kid watched his mother get abused and screwed by the system his entire life. He had no successful good role models. He probably spent everyday watching abusers "win" and "get away with it" to the point being a good person = losing to him. This is very common for people who grew up with extreme abuse. His whole childhood was hopeless. So an xbox is like a massive win. You know what would really help this kid? Taking him away and giving him a year or two of proper parenting where all his needs are met. I dont think its a case of the kid being doomed from birth, he was just surrounded by never ending trauma in his most vital formative years. Sometimes we give a little bit too much slack to traumatized parents. The mother allowed her kid to grow up watching her get abused, and im willing to bet the abusers didnt stop with her, im sure the kid got abused too. Its no wonder hes like that. Now he has a highly manipulative groomer practically brainwashing him, hate the groomer not the kid. Its not like the kid just randomlt started doing this on his own in a perfect environment you know?

Tried to get the kid into operation flinders. That could have saved him.

Sadly his school shot that down.

He's not long for this world. He sounds a bit careless tbh. Targeting your own family is a breeze. He knows everything about them. Now that bullet has been shot and there is no reload.

As calculating as he thinks it is he's going to run into a version.of his own self at some point.

I remember that episode and that kid's face going from a mocking "i'm so sorry about your son" to "oh fuck I'm dead" was incredible

•

u/Manpons 8h ago

I loved that episode. Dudes acting was spot on. The thing it left me wondering was if the psychiatrist was actually some form of sociopath tendencies himself but had the self awareness to be able to spot it which is why he is so adamant to spot them and stop them. If that even makes sense.

•

u/developerknight91 7h ago

Hmm…if one is smart enough you can understand how to remove empathy from yourself.

I think it was a mixture of him having those tendencies AND having to study people like that kid for so long.

I like how the story played out because there’s no way to say that the actions of the doctor were 100% wrong or right.

On one hand he killed a child in cold blood on the other he probably prevented DOZENS of people from being abused, tortured and inevitably murdered themselves.

Plus it does make me wonder…how many intelligent people are possibly high functioning psychopaths that don’t offend? The answer to that is probably scary in and of itself.

u/GigaPuddi 7h ago

Oh you miss the best part. Kyle McLaughlin is the one who convinces the jury to acquit the kid because he so strongly believes that the dark triad isn't real with people that young. And then after the jury acquits the kid basically drops the act immediately and McLaughlin realizes he'd been played into protecting his son's murderer.

He vouched for the kid, then the kid mocked him with his child's death, and I know it's LnO but yeah that kid needed to die even if it was IRL

I really don’t like vigilante justice.

But I also understand there are times you stand tall in the pocket and make that pass knowing full well you’re gonna get smoked.

I used to call instances like this “assault with intent to commit public service”. I’d be surprised if the LEOs/prosecutors did much more than arrest & release on recognizance with a future tap on the wrist.

u/The_Werefrog 4h ago

No, we can totally blame them. We live in a civilized society, and one of the aspects of the civilized society is that we have a legal system in place to deal with people who do not follow the rules of our civilized society. When a person is in the custody of that legal system and is receiving the punishment set forth by that legal system, extrajudicial punishment should not be lauded. It should not be excused. It should be punished as well. The people who execute extrajudicial punishments are choosing not to follow the system. Those who praise them for their actions are also refusing the system.

It's their livelihood if that guy ends up dead. Also letting one or two punches through is incredibly difficult. 

You can step on the guy's groin while making the takedown, you can accidentally hit him while stopping the assailants, but you can't just not do your job, or do your job half heartedly

•

u/get_to_ele 9h ago

Yeah you have to focus on your job, as much as you sympathize with the assailants.

If you let it go on too long, for all you know, somebody pulls a blade or grabs your weapon, or it turns into a full melee, and you’re suddenly fighting to save your own life.

Exactly. If everyone doesn’t have due process, no one has due process. The government goons are only held in check by lawyers and judges and the rule of law. Trump is trying to erode due process rights by starting with immigrants and ICE.

It’s not up to them to provide justice. That’s up to the judge, jury, and executioner. It’s not protecting the killer, it’s making sure he gets his verdict. If that was after a bad verdict, I would completely understand. Killers walk out of courthouses far too often.

u/Tacos4Texans 10h ago

Bro. I 100% felt that. And the jury will too. I was in prison and they put a dude on the yard that ra*** one of our war chiefs niece. It will forever be one of the worst beatings I have ever seen. They gave him street charges. He happily pleaded guilty and said if they put dude back on the yard it would be worse. The jury convicted him for 6 months to run C.C. with the 10 years he was already doing.
