Replygets you the best results for this kind of retarded behaviour .
I've seen this newer mentality of kicking a guy in the head when he's down .
It's such a chickenshit cowardly thing to go for .
Okay gotta go back to playing Grand Theft Auto .

Los Australianos aman una bebida con sus mates se ponen violentos.Pero ahora doctores,policía y paramédicos dicen que esto ha alcanzado niveles de crisis.

how come the cops aren't beating the fuck out of them?

In my view this is shameful at all…Get drunk and fight.. That is stupid, absurd, nonsense… Some human beings are below the Animal intelligence… there are people so unintelligent that they dont know to have a good time without alcohol

I am happy for Sam and his family to get triple to gov benefits from my tax's. im not happy for bogans to get money from the doll to sit there bludging and not working because these are the people that I know in my town who are violent drunks. I enjoy a beer or two every now and then with new proposed laws why should I be punished for the sins of the few

I dont get it… HOTEL STAFF SHOULD BE EDUCATED WHEN CUT OFF INTOXICATED PATRONS!!! Not impose another ripoff scam. Closing at early AM = Bad move. Making this world boring because they find this an EASY way out. Educate the bar tenders you silly twats

Senseless and ridiculous, sadly not unique to Australia though, here in Ireland and in the U.K. same problem. Maybe this documentary should be shown to teens in schools, get them early make them think.

Yep ban alcohol and try legalization of marijuana use.

Perpetrators should have to pay medical expenses for those they injure

The Australian drinking culture is so bad that it actually turned me off drinking alcohol all together. I was once part of this rubbish, luckily I woke up to myself.
ReplyNickLee March 11, 2017 3:58 am
ban alcohol, legalize weed
Replybud oracle March 11, 2017 3:58 am
Does anyone out there wonder if the overwhelming use of this drug across the planet hasn't disposed humanity to be a more violent species overall and that global aggression can be at least in part attributable to global alcohol consumption over millennia?
ReplyBrian C March 11, 2017 3:58 am
Legalize weed, this doesn't happen when people are stoned.
Replyejmac11 March 11, 2017 3:58 am
Bottmom lines is a lot of ppl are assholes, losers with a chip on their shoulders. When you give these idiots alcohol, they want to fight everyone in sight. I don't really believe we can change each individual, but we can limit the amount of alcohol they are served. It's the same thing basically where I live, you go through the area where are the bars/clubs are, & ppl want to fight you for no reason. Without the alchohol in their systems, none of those assholes would even start a fight.

proper security would prevent much of this…a couple few good size bouncers and bar tenders who know when to cut some one off….still it is the environment …shit happens….

He's no stupid man, it's much worse than that. He's a liar and a creep that knows exactly what he's doing and doing it for money. These scum bag spokespersons (who all appear similarly sly and weasely) crop up all the time for other destructive industries that refuse to take even part responsibility for the consequences of their products.
Replyejmac11 March 11, 2017 3:58 am
The only ppl I've ever heard speak like that were drunks. Everyone thinks they're a hero when they're drunk. It's ridiculous, so pathetic..
ReplyLeandro Valdez March 11, 2017 3:58 am
Totally agreed, 99% of people fail to see the root of the problem, the actual social-economic system is the cause, not drugs.
Replyj Cast March 11, 2017 3:58 am
This crazy

alcohol is obviously the catalyst for their violent behavior
ReplyThomas Paine March 11, 2017 3:58 am
I can see the cops with bullet proof vest and guns loaded to be used by my fellow Australians when they get out of hand in a society were rights mean nothing and confiscation of arms were an Australian can even defend themselves in their own home …I can see why they are drunk they fuel their anger towards a oppressive police force..
Replyjust a perspective view from an American correct me if i am wrong…..

I disagree. Alcohol *is* the root cause of the violence depicted in this video. Unless the government wants to ban agressive thoughts, it's smart to limit the use, in public places, of a substance that can turn agressive people into violent people. For the safety of people who *can* control their intake of this social drug. BTW: In western societies, alcohol causes more destruction and addiction problems than any other legal or illegal substance.

I completely understand where you are coming from. Try and listen to 23:00 to 23:20
ReplyAdaptorLive March 11, 2017 3:58 am
Would you say the same when it came to cocaine or heroine? That it's the character of the users that is to blame and not the substance? It's pretty clear that people do stupid things when under the influence of alcohol; things they normally wouldn't do and that the cost to society might be bigger than all other drugs combined. Just because alcohol use has become ingrained in many societies doesn't mean it has to that way in the future.
