Australian Dad Defends Family With Bow & Arrow (Video)

a reply to: Kester

Cheers! Not sure how long it will last. Thanks for trying though. And Thanks for spending time to check out our story and see our side.

I know exactly what you mean when you say very few will even bother to spend time analyzing what is actually happening in the videos, because it is difficult to get past the quality issues. To the public, it is also a long involved story of tit-for-tat. Ain't nobody got time for that! lol.

I am one of those few who would spend the time if I have it (and have done so in the past) - I love to research - but I know the majority wont. I said this to Les myself. The masses like things to be easy. The masses like soundbites.

Gnite and sleep well. I think I might hit the hay soon too.

In order.

Call the police.



Bringing out the bow.




The end

Look, the police never told us to get a restraining order, dude. They told us to video what was happening. We did our best.

I'll say again. That is not Alex across the road.

This is not all about Alex, its about a "crew". Alex is full of BS when he says Les had the bow pointed at him.

It is plain as day from your video the second one down.

The bow was never fully drawn. An archer would be able to see this from the video. The video is already in the thread. It doesn't require reposting.

He is drawing back and he is across the road.
it wasn`t there on ytube.

My family have our personal failings and problems, but that is our business and in our home. We don't go to other people's homes or property at all .... let alone to start a slinging match with them. I've admitted we are not perfect. You want me to say we over-reacted? We were pretty tired and stressed by then, and dude had just hit our kid. How many times do these people need to be told to leave us alone?

Please get your moral compass centered.

I`m not the one aiming or swinging weapons at people even from across the street, that don`t show why you are.

There would be hell to pay if someone hit my sons for no good reason or they were in the right, but they`re adults now and not too many guys would be silly enough to and can defend themselves very well, did your son do anything to provoke it? he just came up and thumped your son? I`m not looking for an answer I'm saying there is more to it than that.

There are no videos where I have the camera behind me with the bow. My son is stuck outside with cam 2 with that dude approaching up the driveway with a baseball bat between us. I cant give you anything from behind me when the roving camera was outside.

Your getting mixed up with two sieges. One on the 24th when I faced a guy with a bat with no weapons, and the camera is behind me as I face the guy, and the 25th where I pull a bow out.

You don't realize this went on for 3 days. We had 3 events. Once with Alex kicking my bins over. Two when Alexs' friend turns up with a baseball bat and calls me out, and 3 when he assaults my son and I use the pogo stick to hit back. I felt if I didn't strike back he could just continue as the boy was not being protected.

This is the footage where the camera follows me from behind. Otherwise there is nothing else to offer.

I have no Bow or no weapons, I walk out to meet a guy with a bat.

My bad, here is where he pulls the bat out, and the camera follows me from behind, the audio edited for mainstream play on 7 news site.

As you can see there is no bow, pogo stick, or anything of the sort being carried about by myself.

How many thugs need to turn up at my home with weapons to terrorize us before we can start telluing them to funk off ultra rude style? 1.

But 4 is overkill.

If we had done something so bad, why didnt they call the cops on us then? We have an interesting balance here, if were doing something so bad it requires a drugo with a bat to come and scare us, why didnt they call the police seeing we were up to such bad things

I missed seeing this post. Apologies and thanks!

We have dogs. The neighbours kids stir 'em up kicking and poking things at them through the fence in the back yard. They've even filmed themselves on their mobiles, stirring my dogs up. It doesnt usually bother me, I just bring the dogs inside. But I'm beginning to wonder if they were trying to get my Labrador and Kelpie classed as a dangerous dogs.

Both times my son has been assaulted we called the police ASAP. The first time they did zero, the second time I made sure the police didnt matter. My apologies.

The reports are all on record and two reports are about an adult assaulting my son, a minor.

OK they never told you to get a restraining order, how many times in the past 7 years have you called the police on these people?

Ok his name isn`t Alex in that vid, what did this guy do that was so threatening Les aimed his bow at him from across the road? or was this guy the one that hit your son? pretty sure you said Alex but could kinda understand if that was the reason to overreact.

They were all on my property or blocking the driveway at one stage with weapons. I pulled a cupids bow, I didnt aim it properly, and if I had let go by accident I would of missed by a significant distance with almost no power.

The CCTV camera is set on DET and it turns off when there is no movement, its both annoying and good to have on but it splits everything up into tiny files.

We dont know all the names. The other guy across the road is ??? But he really has zero to do with anything.

We have footage of Alex begging us to swing at him, he was the first ass running around a few months ago with a baseball bat yelling he was going to put my dogs in a bucket because they got out and ran down the park for a swim in the swamp,

I called the police then too. There is a police report of Alex running around with the bat from months ago.

Ive been told he runs around with axes, he head butted a woman's nose and broke it and lied to the police. He has been pretty crafty at doing his # on people and getting away with it.

The worst they got on me here is possession weed. This violence public nuisance thing is new to me First time eva! Im 47yo.
