Van der Poel arrested in Oz

[DieselnDust]

the good old snake/spider in the flip up lid desk trick or spider in the school shower.... Ithink if ou haven't pulled off some prank you probably haven't lived.

The main trick we learned back then was that if you did get caught, don't try the same trick on the same victim. They will know its you and it's not going to be funny when you're caught, neither is the paksla waiting at home.

and thats what different about these two daddies little angels. They got caught, were asked several times to stop but repeatedly antogonised their victim. They got a reaction, which they clearly wanted and now the media paints them out to be the victims.

Nope, they're NOT the victims.. They are the aggressors. That's going to be unpopular but it is what it is.

Tok-Tokkie was always fun until the Rottweiler got released, then it was a game of survival.

These Aussies are definitely amateurs. They didn't even string some toilet paper between the different doors going down the corridor. 

That would've been a sight to see, MvdP swatting toilet paper down the corridor shouting profanities in his boxers. Maybe even tie a snake to the boxer for good measure.

their daddy says they're traumatised and very scared. They were just playing.

From my recollection of Tok Tokkie, you got a proper donnering when you got caught, not sympathy

everything from this trashrag is with a pinch of salt. but it seems like only the moms were actually there.

I fully expect the dutch fans to find the dads' full identities now and give them the treatment they deserve (and a bit they don't). they don't look very belgian so there goes that thin theory.

We used to go play tok tokkie in blocks of flats with no lifts starting on the top floor and working our way down, never got caught but my parents did get accused of raising a devil....

Beginning to sound like a "When we thread"

level 2 is when you use clear tape across the door at head height to catch your pursuer and make them even more the moer in

Especially if they just came back from the hairdresser and had their Perm done….

Even though the news paper tried to keep the narrative going that Van der Poel was entirely at fault here, and probably deleted any comments that would suggest differently, one can see by the ratings on the individual “comments” that less than 10% of the readers agrees with the comments made.

Nothing to see here …

After seeing that video and those photos, vast overreaction by those comment voters and also by MvdP.  Mates and I got away with similar and other mischiefs as teens in the 1970’s, as did many more “laaities” on bikehub.  MvdP reacted way OTT, as he has admitted and for which he has apologised.  Imagine a stranger oom being that enraged, and coming at you so menacingly that he shoves you into the carpet/wall, in his onderbroek nogal.  For a prank…  Can’t be right, I can’t imagine that many hubbers would approve that reaction to their children.

so what you're saying is that when someone asks you to stop and you don't, you continue to antagonize, you're saying that they have no right to get angry and fight back ever.....?

once is a prank,

twice is annoying

three times its antagonism

seriously.....?

No wonder people as so inconsiderate, if you can do as you please and not have any consequences... Sleep deprivation, stress and the most he did was grab one by the arm? They got off lucky.

Vicious circle ...

 

NO consequences for the kids actions ... so they keep pushing further and further ....

 

 

So what effective recource is left for the adults ??

 

 

An adult male chasing after young girls in his undies .... not his brightest moment !  At the very least ... put on some clothes.

 

 

 

We live in a cul.de.sac.  Few years back an 8 year old from a side road decided this was a nice spot to kick his soccer ball.  No issues.  He then started kicking it against my one week old garage doors !!!  I walked out and asked him not to kick it against the garage door .... twit kept on doing it while I was talking to him ....  I properly hosed him down !!!  He ran home dripping wet .... yes, his parents walked over immediately .... had I touched the brat it could have escalated.

You think sleep deprivation and stress qualifies you to "grab one by the arm” or angrily shove any child?  Come on mate, we'd want to do better.   

MvdP shouldn’t have been...

People tend to get very irrational when sleep deprived or stressed. Hell being tired and driving is about the same as driving while drunk.

Should he have done better? Yeah. Should the parents have let their kids run feral? Should 12 year old's know better? Yeah. Shitty people all round

Did he ever push her? From the video it seems like she fell running away from him, he then grabbed her

Yeah, no excuse for an angry physical response with someone’s kid bruh.  As for sleep deprived and pressured situations, we’ve been through several with former colleagues and I working up to 68 hours non-stop (edit: full steam, not relay, no breaks for anyone) on extreme medical rescues (including a loaded bus in a river at the bottom of a mountain gorge) on coffee and energy drinks.  And long hours on this:  https://www.bowmanslaw.com/insights/shipping-aviation-and-logistics/greatest-maritime-rescue-ever/

No-one in our teams ever thought that stress or sleep deprivation was an excuse for being unprofessional.  Just saying.  I’m not surprised that MvdP was apologetic for being the angry oom in an onderbroek.
