Watch the vid !! This bloke should of been in the Australian movie "The Castle"...........

[prydey]

the cops will be stumped on this one. who should they arrest. is shooting a firearm worse than doing a burnout??

the shooter will no doubt get a talking to, but doing a burnout? that kids going straight to jail!!

would be a bit of a harrowing experience but something tells me there is more to the story. not a real bright young lad by the looks either.

The neighbor is definitely wrong using firearm but the young lad should realize his actions are no better as an out of control car doing burn outs could have dire consequences.

Lock both of them up....

So you're saying that doing a burnout in the countryside is no better than firing a gun at someone and their family with lethal intent? What if he had actually killed the young lad? Or his child in the house? Burnouts, particularly out in the bush, are harmless. Trying to murder someone, that's quite different!

Around 10:30pm on Tuesday night, Mr Tenhaigus, 23 was walking back into his house after a series of burnouts on his suburban street, only to face the wrath of his gun-wielding neighbour.

The article does not say the burnout was performed in the bush, read the article properly.
Both acts were stupid and before you have a go at me on my stance on burnouts I had an incident where my grandson came inches in being struck by some brainless idiot who loss control of his car performing a burnout in the street where I live.

Plenty of other places to do burn outs but not in residential streets.

You should take your own advice and read the article- "Meet Shane Tenhagius a resident of Marrakai, a rural town of Darwin".

Now look up Marrakai on Google Maps.

Shane isn't the greatest ambassador for Ford. Then again neither is that young woman on the Focus ad that Ford made. I guess Ford has decided to be the brand for the western suburbs aspirational buyer.

Reminds me when I was about 16 of an old dude who threw a mattock through the screen of a local bloke who did burnouts in his street. Word got around, did anyone lay a patch in that street, no way.
Good on the old bloke, he has probably been putting up with these clowns for years.

things don't always work out,
three coppers were incinerated in the station when they killed a young bloke for riding a trail bike to the shops.

be very careful of mob rule.

Good DNA there!!! Could of had a qualifier for the Darwin award

[Buntz]

Bogan's trying to kill other Bogans. I think it's win win.

[Lotte]

Cage match time....

[CoupeKing]

It probably took him 7 hours to realise that he`d been shot at.

[BHDOGS]

shame he missed

Seriously, has anyone got injured during a burnout, ever.... Apart from that 4 million horsepower top fuel doing a skid down a person lined street, obvious an accident waiting to happen there, but seriously, normal kids, normal cars, big effin deal, it is pathetic. We used to push each others cars around and from side to side while smoking up, blow diffs outside our houses, get a new diff from wreckers for $50 and bring it there to where diff went banf and install it in the rain on suburban street..... Nobody ever got hurt or remotely ever looked to have half a chance of getting hurt.... I am amazed at the nanny crap people swallow... Go in the street brandishing a firearm, or do a skid..... Seriously, there are no parallels there......

Nothing wrong with doing a burnout in the right places. But if someone was doing burnouts out the front of my house regularly I would be ****ed off as well.
Not so much the safety side, but just how annoying it would be.

But shooting at someone over a burnout is just stupid

This is the crux of the matter, its not that doing burnouts in front of peoples houses is dangerous, it frekin disrespectful. We have thousands of kilometres of road in OZ, there is no need to be a pea head and do them around houses.
I would condone the same action if it was an idiot on a dirt bike blasting up and down the street, constant doof doof, or some one smashing my letterbox.

To answer your question, yes quite a few people have been killed or injured doing burnouts.
Sometimes its the driver sometimes its innocent parties like two parents and two kids run over in a park by an idiot doing a burnout in the car park and losing control.

There's a time and a place for everything but sadly the idiots that do it in the suburbs don't have enough brains to realise this so we get the inevitable harsh laws.

well, actually, quite a few that I personally know about and others that I have personally attended,

just in the area of pushing a car around whilst doing a burnout I've attended two degloving of legs and or arms (limbs pulled into mudguard and grabbed by the tyre.

many admissions where exploding tyres with steel belts sections embedding into face, arms, neck.

there has a few where the vehicle ran into trees killing the passenger, one recently that ran into a house.

not mainstream news as the injuries are mainly not life threatening but they do happen.

in this case both of these folks are in the wrong.....but hopefully the law will deal with them appropriately.

interesting to note the responses on youtube.

[TC200six]

What a wild hillbilly story... In modern day NT.

[Streets]

Pair of ******* idiots, they deserve each other

[Chopped]

I wouldn't be surprised if Shane was a member of this forum

:P

[EASYBOSS]

He looks like a young Russell Crow

In before the overdue lock

[peteypete]

There is definitely no Holden badge on that Fairmont. The Ford badge is damaged by the shotgun pellets.
