  1. What an amazing human the person that intervened is. This person was very clearly intent on killing the woman and his intervention stopped that.

    Not too sure on how well the operator handled that 000 call though.

  2. Man, I dunno what the procedure is for the operator but telling a victim to ‘stop screaming’ is fucking wild.

    Hey, the bystander is definitely an MMA/BJJ guy. I see butterfly guard, ground and pound, back take with hooks, an arm triangle at the end maybe.

    I don’t understand how operators lose patience for people who are scared for their lives

  5. “[The Lawyer said] his client’s actions were “inexcusable.”

    “But he said the question was about intent, saying: “Did he intend to murder or kill, or was it a serious assault?”

    “The court heard he had said ‘I want to kill her” and “I want to finish the job’.

    Ummm is it just me or did his client fucking confess to wanting to murder her? His lawyer needs to go back to school if this is the best argument hes got

  6. > The court heard he had said “I want to kill her” and “I want to finish the job”.

    Making it extremely easy to convince the jury on the question of intent.

    If stomping on someone’s head doesn’t at least divert their attention away from their target, I think you have reasonable argument to escalate to delivering “corrective tactical eye gouges”.

    Horrible story (and horrible 000 operator), *but* the actions of those helping the victim is truly uplifting.

    Absolutely fuck this guy but the triple zero operator sounds like a moron:

    >At one point during the call, which lasts for more than eight minutes, the operator asks if the man has any weapons.

    >”Does he need to have weapons to be f***ing threatening?” the woman replied.

    >”The longer you take to answer my questions, the longer it’s going to take for me to put the job on,” the operator said as the woman continues to tell the man to get away from her.

    >”He’s here … send the goddamn police right now!” the woman pleads.

    >”Stop screaming,” the operator said before confirming police were on their way.

  10. “Oh wait he could be rehabilitated ..” … we should just exile all hardcore criminals to Xmas island or sth.. set them loose there and they can rehab or do whatever they want among themselves …

    I know there’s protocols and such but emergency call operators sound infuriating to deal with, particularly in the context of dangerous, high risk situations. How do they expect someone to be calm and answer coherently when they’re being attacked?!

  12. But he said the question was about intent, saying: “Did he intend to murder or kill or was it a serious assault?”

    Well…he was quoted as by the man who intervened as saying “I want to kill her” and “let me finish the job”. Does that give you an indication of his intentions, sir?
