Chef stabs assailant and now faces prison.

Mr. Merde- that's a good story, and it seems to me that you did exactly the right thing there.
Different situation though- and you didn't stab anyone.

Just to re-iterate what rwh said- the 'gang' was leaving the bus at the time. It *seems* as though they were indulging in a spot of macho posturing... and there's a few examples of something kind of similar in this very thread.
Think, people.

But......he punched the guy!
A clear and progressive escalation of the intimidation.
If there had been no reaction maybe he would have been encouraged to go even further?

Maybe they were getting off at the same stop, or the chef got off and they followed?

Slightly off topic, when I was young, my brother, friends and I were in town one evening and one of the tyres on the car was flat. There was no spare so we phoned our friend's mum to bring us one. While we were waiting for her a group of teenage girls came up to us and started to harrass me for my leather jacket. Now they weren't to know I was actually a motorcyclist because we were in a car, not on our bikes. They kept telling me I thought I was tough or something. I tried to ignore them but they then followed us down the road and started pushing me from behind. I turned around and kicked the biggest one in the stomach and she dropped like a stone. Her mates all gathered around her so we carried on as we were. Next thing we go into Cob an Co foyer to use the phone again and the little bitches came running in and had another go at me. Well this ended up a full on fistycuff fight

in the middle of the Cob foyer. I had the upper hand and got this little bitch down on the ground and was kicking her in the guts when the bouncers dragged me off her and split the fight up. I thought my brother and friends(all male) would have helped me but they said they knew they weren't allowed to hit girls and I was doing ok on my own.
During all this my boyfriend lost his keys to his car. We went to the police station to see if they had been handed in and who happened to be there? The little bitch and her mates were bailing their bro out after he had been fighting. These little crims had been taught to go cause as much trouble as they can and their parents think its ok. We were taught to NOT fight but i wasn't going to stand by and let these scumbags steal my jacket.

Did you watch Sunday tonight?
The farmer that detained the hoodie who was stealing his property on his farm? Now he's facing kidnapping charges, and other offences, and may do jail time!!
What the fuck has happened to NZ??
We can't be safe on our own property, and we can't take any measures to protect our hard earned property from these little hooded shits!!

Fuck the lot of them!!

I reckon 90% of real Kiwi's agree with you, good on him for collaring the little Scrote

If more people did this to them, then they might think twice before they commit a crime?

It is a tool for the trade, but it can be "converted" by you, or anyone else, into a weapon...

Wonder why he ran now that he is in court for defending himself....... with todays justice system sometimes it is not wise to stay and see how the Judge will view things.

He ran, but got caught running by the cops... Wonder what would have happened if he hung around instead...?

Guys, the problem you are trying to comprehend is called "moral equivalence". An armed guy hurt an unarmed guy. Let's protect *THE UNDERDOG*!!! An unarmed guy is always good, an armed guy is always bad, right? What is lost in translation is that the poor underdog is a bandit, a criminal, simply by the virtue of participating in a criminal gang. If the laws choose to ignore this distinction, then, yes, WE HAVE BAD LAWS that need to be changed (and enforced too).

And it's amazingly handy for just about any general-duties situation you can think of

I really like the look of that blade. How much (roughly) do those things go for?

I couldn't find anyone in NZ or Oz selling them, so I ordered mine direct from Spyderco in Colorado via their website. US$180 for the knife plus US$50 shipping.

You could almost certainly get one cheaper if you shopped around the various online knife and tool retailers, but I was in lust and couldn't be bothered.

"And he ran from the scene instead of staying and taking responsibility for his actions. It's all very sad, but the bottom line is, an unarmed guy got stabbed."

This whole story sickens me. Where did the common sense go in this country. Reading the story, and the papers never get it wrong

The young guy was attacked, out numbered, and using what the had at the time to what level he felt he needed, he defended himself. Then he ran for his life: what? you stupid enough to hang around afterwards with all his mates to see if they will beat you to death??

Where has the common sense gone?

Seriously people, do you really feel bad for the victim? If you do take a good long look at your selfs and see which kid you would like to live next to....

"Common sense"? You cannot be serious. So it's OK then to bury a 25cm chef's knife into people who are troubling you? And people who do this would make great neighbours? Get real.

And it should be yourselves.
