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

    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
