Hooksy "David Hooks" Life Support to be switched off.


Recommended Posts

Dunno if this is th right place so dont bagg me.. but I take my hat off in saddnes when i write this. Just heard on 3AW that family off hooksy is right now contemplating switching off his life support.

I like many, don't know the full details of what happened & think if anyone is shameless enough to say hooksy deserved it, or the bouncer should rott in hell, perhaps hold these thoughts close to your chest until the trial is finished.

It was just announced the bouncer can only be charged with assault as his blow did not kill hooksy, the fall is what killed him. Laws like that are rediculous if this turns out to be the case.

I feel sad, for the families of all.. & just thought I'd let you all know.

that was the most up to date story i could find, couldnt see anything about them turning off life support, but if he has a massive brain injury, it might be the only thing left to do.

Best wishes to his family.

A ridiculous situation and a very sad one.

I met David Hooks at Richmond football club functions a couple of times and he is simply a genuinelyy great bloke.

The bouncer who hit him and the other three of them involved should be brought up on manslaughter charges to pay for the assault.

Hooksy went out of his was to break up the fight and the bouncer king hit him. As he has a family and many many friends its a very sad day. :)

It was over 100 metres from the premises the bouncer's were working at, so they were just being THUGS!!!

Tragic! well i just hope justice is done and the person responsible truly pays for his crimes. No bouncer has the right to hit somebody in subduing them, no matter what the circumstances. So whether he was mostly injured in the punch, or the fall matters little.

Bouncers are the worst shit on the face of this earth (well them and lawyers), so it doesn't really surprise me, but so fugged up!

I didnt hear anything either hope he comes out of it ok , ive been listening for most of the day .

There was an eye witness on the news tonite that said they chased him up the road and king hit him, left hook (no pun intended at all) in the side of his head after which he dropped to the ground and smashed his head.

Farking scum-sucking P.O.S. bouncer deserves manslaughter. Not because it's David Hookes, because he SENSLESSLEY bashed someone that was trying to help him do his job.

Incidentally, Hookesey once scored a first class hundred in 43 mins, off of 31 balls. Legend.

i've seen first hand of boucers treatment to people ... brainless thugs who never finished high school ...

So true, couple of idiots i used to go to high school with are now bounces.

They are like cops, think they are something special, but they are really brainless ****s!

actually they're a step below cops, as they're the ones that can't even get into the police force or any other meaningful security job. So most of the time its the only way they can feel they are anything important in the world other than some knob who looks at your licence and decides whether you get into some shitty club that u prolly don't wanna go in anyhow!

I don't usually support vigilantism, but if the law doesn't do something about this thug, god help him coz I know somebody else will

it's a sad world, David Hookes or not, this was an attack against an innocent man, justice needs to prevail

This bouncer deserves everything he gets... there a bunch of tools who like to think they have power. I had some freinds who went to a strip club when they were 18 and got busted taking photos. 1 mate was pushed backwards down a flight of stairs while the other 2 had their heads smashed into the pavement repeatedly.

Yes they did break the "club" rules, but they were trying to run when the bouncers beat the shit out of them and were of no real danger.... 2 of 3 ended up with stitches...

oookkkkkkk been living under a rock. This is the first i've heard about any of this. I was wondering why on Triple M they were talking about bouncers? Guess i know why now...

wonder what the 'hairy backed sheila' has got to say about this one? she did threaten him and all...

sad day indeed.... :D

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
