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

    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 馃檪
    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together 
    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
    • No worries at all 馃 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 馃槉, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive 鉂わ笍 . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts 鉁岋笍
