An honourable death, a true story from just last week.

Featured Replies

 

 

Last week 34 year old kickboxing champion Ross Kimble was stabbed to death on the main street of Albury NSW Australia. Dean Street, which has now been dubbed 'Mean Street' (since a woman was also bashed there a couple of days after) has been the scene of some ugly times in the last few years, but Ross's death is the worst to date.

 

Ross, a father of two, was defending the honour of his gorgeous wife when a knife was pulled on him and he was stabbed in front of a night club in the early hours of the morning. Obviously his wife witnessed the entire event as Ross burst into a fury against multiple attackers and was murdered on the street by a cowardly ****ing piece of ****. :evil:

 

Although tragic and unjustified, Ross's death was honourable and i thought it only right to dedicate a thread to his memory. I had never met the bloke but as a martial artist and a moral being i feel deeply for his family. They have lost a husband and a father.

 

Rest in peace buddy.

A sad aspect of human nature seems to be that no matter what you do, how you act, how you prepare yourself, there always seems to be some loathesome piece of filth willing to snuff out a life in the most cowardly way.

 

And of course, there's never a thought for the consequences and the ruined lives.

 

But at least his mates probably think he's tough.

always sorry to hear of another's loss of life over something like that...... :down:

 

the taking of a life does no one honor......a waste of a precious life.......... :nod:

Well, thats too bad. I am sympathetic for his wife and children.

 

You could please elaborate on "defending his wife's honor"? Does that mean he fought instead of kept walking?

 

 

:evil:

 

Thats pretty unfortunate. I sincerly hope that they prosecute all that are responsible. What a truley wasteful loss of life. :bawling:

 

I to this day fail to understand how people could be so cruel and evil knowing that this man had a wife, and most likely a family that

Apparently his wife was being groped and things like "how about a real root" were being said to her. Perhaps he could have walked away, but that's not how we're brought up down here. Wussing out of things isn't in our decree.

Well, if the option to walk away without having to fight was present..ALWAYS take it no matter what. You may feel like "Wussing out" sucks...but then again, being DEAD sux too. Just a thought.

 

Hasta!!

There is just too much evil in the world. It is allways so sad when death robs life prematurely.

I don't expect people outside of my circles to understand - it's just a culture clash. But wussing out is as good as being dead.

No offense was intended, but thats just commen sense...no matter where you are from. Your life should be WAY more important then what some freaks think of you. Doesnt make any sense to me.
