Australia: ‘Irate’ mob of 80 men stops paramedics giving lifesaving treatment
News.com.au ^ | 09/03/18 | Ben Graham

Posted on 09/02/2018 6:54:04 PM PDT by Simon Green

A 25-YEAR-OLD man has died after a mob of “angry males” swarmed paramedics and stopped them from treating him in Sydney’s south.

According to the Australian Paramedics Association (APA), emergency services were called to Iris Avenue in Riverwood yesterday morning where the male was suspected of having suffered a drug overdose.

However, family members of the dying man became “irate” and tried to intervene, the APA alleges.

Up to 80 “angry males” quickly gathered at the unit and allegedly threatened the health workers and charged at a female paramedic, injuring her shoulder. The four others were “shaken up” by the attack.

The paramedics union has lashed out at the behaviour of the mob, saying it was an act of “stupidity” which ultimately cost the man’s life.

“Paramedics were forced to fend off angry males who eventually forced them to stop treating the patient who was in cardiac arrest and subsequently died,” APA secretary Steve Pearce said.

“We had the outrageous situation where a violent mob demanded paramedics hand over a defibrillator and drugs, saying they would treat the patient.”

The paramedics barricaded themselves inside the unit as the violent mob demanded a defibrillator and drugs believing they could treat the young man, Mr Pearce added.

About 20 police officers arrived at the scene, including the Public Order Riot Squad, to rescue the paramedics at about 7.45am.

However, the male patient died at the scene.

“On this occasion the stupidity of these people have taken the life of their family member,” Mr Pearce said.

“We don’t want any more people to face the horrifying situation of their loved ones dying because paramedics are unable to treat patients after threats of violence.

Any time you have 80 angry males and not a single woman, you have muslims, who are meeting out a family honor problem.

Maybe the drug addicts just wanted the drugs. And figured they could sell the defib to get more drugs.

At least there was probably no great loss to society.

“... demanded a defibrillator and drugs...”

Okay - you need to give the guy some of your life energy. Connect one of those paddles to your groin - the creation of life. Now the other paddle goes on your heart - the sustainer of life. Now the big box goes on the guy that is dying. Press the big red button.

Everyone else needs to take 1,000 cc’s of the drug labelled morphine. That will allow a part of everyone else’s life energy to morph into the victim as you press the button. You will be allowing Allah to work through all of you as you heal your brother, Allah Akbar.

Another prior incident:

Sydney bar ambo attack ‘absolute disgrace’
Julian Drape
26 Aug 2018, 4:44 p.m.

The boss of NSW paramedics has slammed as an “absolute disgrace” an attack on ambulance officers who were treating an unconscious woman at a Sydney bar.

One paramedic was allegedly pushed and others threatened in the early hours of Sunday morning before police were called in to escort the crew and patient from the King Street Wharf bar to a waiting ambulance.

Riot squad officers assisted at the scene and St Vincent’s Hospital after a group of people with the 22-year-old woman became “agitated and aggressive”, police said in a statement.

NSW Ambulance Commissioner Dominic Morgan said the attack on the officers “performing life-saving treatment” was the 139th on paramedics this year.
