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

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
