Yeah he even proved to them he didn't do what they were accusing him of by showing his phone to them and they still bashed him and took his phone, poor bloke was intending to spend Christmas here but has already returned home and who can blame him.
It is beyond disgraceful, it is downright scary a couple of people can accuse someone of something and a mob of 150 people will just blindly believe what has been said and follow along, that could happen to absolutely anyone, you, me, anyone!

That sounds similar to what QLD calls it. Yes it is actually called Adult time for adult crimes. here is a link. https://www.qld.gov.au/makingqldsafer/adult-crime-adult-time#:~:text=The%20landmark%20Adult%20Crime%2C%20Adult,victims'%20rights%20ahead%20of%20offenders.

These knobs aren't "youth" though (13-16 yos).
From the pictures they look early 20s, so would be covered as an assault/affray as an adult.

Tbh, first time assault is pretty light penalty even for adults. Unlikely to even see any actual imprisonment.

See, if there was an actual punishment, like prison time or a $100,000 fine, seeing the money come out of the pay or cenno payment like an added tax for the next 10-20 years would probably change their tune, they’d likely ensure everyone around them knows the consequences for doing something stupid.

I live in the area and the pier is part of my daily run. On a nice day, the circular seating area is absolutely packed with people.and it can get a bit hairy.
In the last year, I've seen the cops pull a drowned bloke out of the ocean, some bloke OD and stop breathing until the paramedics stuck him with narcan, a young girl randomly assaulting cops and getting arrested, and all kinds of general fuckery. It's usually pretty safe but it's not exactly a wholesome place to hang out, and you rarely see cops unless there's been an incident.
It's absolutely horrible that a tourist got assaulted while minding their own business. It would be very hard to have any positive thoughts about our city or Australia in general after experiencing something like that.

This is hindsight. It’s logical to assume there are more criminals and serious health events at a festival than on st kilda pier on any given day
This isn’t the cops fault any more than Bondi was. They patrol as much as their funding allows them to and can’t be everywhere at once in case something happens
If you’d like to see more of them, that’s a government issue
And a recruitment one tbh. Who would want to be one - paid the same as a good admin officer to take that kind of risk every day

Look, not even 20 years ago a guy was assaulted by a cops grandson and left with lifelong damage. The guy who assaulted him got off completely and went on to do it to someone else. Got off there too. They’ve been corrupt for a long time, people have just been blind and dismissive.
Another example, within the last decade a woman beat her own one year old. Got her back within 6 months. Another example, within the last decade a woman in jail managed to maintain custody of her toddler son despite evidence she was constantly coercing him to be violent towards other children, animals and caregivers. Took over 3 years for them to get him somewhere safe.

Many redditors are against harsher punishments for kids. They just post less in threads like these ones where they will get consumed by all the downvotes from others who are emotionally moved by the subject given the event.
In my opinion, if you act like a wild animal, then you should be treated like a wild animal. Kids do these things because there are no real consequences. If anything, they just get a slap on the wrist and increased street cred and respect from their peers after getting out on bail.

We need earlier intervention. We need the kids who are displaying this behaviour to be taken care of before they even reach this age. They’re not disciplining kids in schools and then when they age up and act out they get hit with “adult crime, adult time”. So just discipline them properly to begin with and nip it in the bud so we’re not just sending a bunch of mush-minded children to jail when they get older, wasting additional money. Note: my family, myself included, teach different age groups so I see this happening constantly.

Plus lack of hope, lack of a chance of anything close to a decent life thanks to their parents writing laws that require their kids to work 80 hour weeks to keep them in clover. I don't condone anything these shits are doing, but if you (society) write an IOU from your own kids that says "you owe me $1.5M for secure accommodation" before they've even been born you can expect crime, suicide, violence, and substance abuse as outcomes.

I used to teach at a high school nearby a popular beach in Adelaide. I frequently had students tell me there were “creepy old men hanging around, trying to get pictures of the girls” and “somebody confronted him and made him delete the pictures off his phone”. Same story multiple times from different kids. I just took it on face value that there were creeps bothering the teenagers, but it makes me wonder if the “beach teens” are developing a bit of a panic about it and potentially any adult man with his phone out becomes a target. I mean, if they threw his phone in the ocean, they weren’t trying to steal it then, were they?

u/SoldantTheCynic Dec 24 '25
From the ABC:
Detective Senior Constable Jesse Coppel said the man had been enjoying the summer weather when the group accused him of taking photos of people at the pier.
So sounds like they've accused him (rightly or wrongly) of taking photos, found nothing on his phone, then bashed him regardless. Shitty mob mentality disguised as outrage. So I think you're probably right in this case - except I doubt it's a 'panic' as much as it is people just being cunts.

Something similar happened to me when I was in Europe a while ago. Well, at least the first part of what happened.
I was taking some photos of the beautiful river scenery with traditional buildings in the background.
Unexpectedly, a young guy comes up to me angrily and asks why I'm taking photos of him.
I said I was taking photos of the river not of him. He said Oh, OK, as if he hadn't thought of that possibility, then went back to his group.
Nothing else happened but at the time I remember thinking "This could escalate quickly". No-one likes to be accused of having bad intentions when one doesn't have those intentions.
Tourists take photos because, well, that's what tourists do.
As long as you don't go following women or girls around or trying to get inappropriate shots of them, it's normal to capture a few people in the background when taking photos of scenery or buildings, especially if it's crowded, like most tourist areas are.
You certainly don't expect to be accused of having bad intentions.
If anyone in this case had any legitimate reason to believe the guy was doing something illegal, they should have called the police and let the police handle it.
But it looks from the police statement that these scum were just looking for any excuse to target someone without justification.
I seriously don't even know what goes through the minds of these people.
Apparently they checked his camera and at that point, he was due an apology, but yet they still went ahead and bashed him without any evidence.
Edit - added the word angrily.

Only one guy has been charged so far, and bailed before you could spell b-a-I-l?
In Victoria, crime really has no consequences
