Did you hear the story about the brothel worker who used pepper spray to protect herself from an unruly client? Well, it’s a great story.

Gets a little spicy, but it has a happy ending. No, you didn’t get it. Neither did he. All jokes aside, I absolutely love this story for so many reasons, but mostly because Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan and her Labour Party strategists will be absolutely tying themselves up in bondage gear trying to figure out whether they want this brothel worker to be charged or whether they don’t because at least as of the time of recording this video, she hasn’t yet been charged. But also, the police have not said that they won’t be laying charges either.

See, pepper spray is illegal in Victoria.

For decades now, law-abiding people have been disarmed by the government for the protection of violent thugs. But with the violent crime wave that’s swept Australia and especially Victoria in the last few years, there is a serious push on for law reform to ensure that no one is prosecuted for their own self-defense. And in the meantime, a lot of people are taking matters into their own hands with pepper spray being a tool of choice for many people, especially women, who refuse to be disarmed by law for the protection of predators.

Now, this is a phenomenon that is happening Australia-wide. Just a few months ago, a woman was charged with multiple offenses in West Australia for running an illegal brothel. One of the charges was unlawful possession of pepper spray, which she presumably kept handy for exactly this reason.

Now, you may be under the impression that pepper spray is legal in West Australia, but that’s only somewhat true. The courts in West Australia have made it clear that a general self-defense argument isn’t by itself good enough to carry capsicum spray in West Australia. You have to have a specific fear or a history of violence being used against you before you can legally justify having pepper spray in your possession. And if the police or courts aren’t satisfied with your lawful excuse, you can spend 12 months in prison just for carrying a simultaneously legal and yet still somehow not really legal can of pepper spray.

It’s Schrödinger’s self-defense. It’s both legal and illegal, and you don’t find out which one it is until you do it.

In Canberra, a woman was charged for using her capsicum spray inside a nightclub there. And believe it or not, they called firefighters for a hazmat response for pepper spray. Only the Northern Territory is trying the allowing of pepper spray for generic self-defense purposes, and just last month was the first known use of it to thwart a would-be attacker. And unlike in the rest of Australia, the law-abiding citizen who used pepper spray for their self-defense will most definitely not be facing any charges. Around Australia, there are petitions to not only allow pepper spray, but to allow castle law. And these petitions have gained a lot of traction. For example, the Queensland castle law petition is now the most signed parliamentary petition in Queensland history.

But Jacinta Allan has made it very clear that she won’t be allowing Victorians to arm themselves with pepper spray or with anything else for their own protection anytime soon, despite the sharp increase in crime rates in her state. And for that reason, you’d expect Jacinta Allan and her government to be pretty keen for the police to file charges against this brothel worker. She used an illegal weapon in self-defense. And if she’s not charged, then others will likely follow her lead because clearly what she did worked.

But then again, the optics of the Labor government laying charges against a female sex worker for the crime of defending herself and her co-workers against a man. Well, the optics of that are not going to play well at all with the Labor Party base. And this is happening in the context of a state where people are increasingly getting fed up with their streets being run by machete armed thugs who always seem to be immediately re-bailed. There is now a powder keg of frustration threatening to blow as the wave of machete fights, stabbings, and home invasions continues unabated despite Jacinta Allan’s frankly laughable claims that Melbourne is safe. And a wrong decision from Premier Allen right now in this moment could light that fuse with unpredictable results.

And if you agree that we should not be disarmed by law for the protection of criminals, then you probably need to read my first and bestselling book, Good People Break Bad Laws. It’s all about civil disobedience, law, government power, human rights, and how good people should go about standing up to the government when the government oversteps its lawful boundaries. There’s also my second best-selling book, Good Christians Break Bad Laws, which is for Christians and is about the theology of civil disobedience and why it is that I believe based on the Bible that Christians should be among the very first people to stand up against a government gone rogue. You’ll also find my DVD documentary, Battleground Melbourne, as well as my t-shirts and hoodies in a range of different designs. You’ll find all of that at goodpeoplebreakbadlaws.com. And everything you buy will help me to keep the Topher Project going so that we can keep having fun with absolutely legendary stories like this one.

Now, I firmly believe that everyone has the human right to defend themselves. And in my opinion, we have the human right to make preparations for our own self-defense, including owning and carrying things like pepper spray. It is my view that the Victorian government, as with every other state government and the federal government in Australia, are all violating human rights by outlawing safe and effective means of self-defense like pepper spray. So for me, it doesn’t matter where this happened or who was defending themselves, whether they were male or female, a brothel worker or a Buddhist monk, I don’t really care. I already love this story. But the fact that it was a brothel worker perfection.

Let’s have a quick look at some of the other violent crime related stories from just the last week or so in Victoria. Never forgetting that this has been going on for literally years now, but with a marked escalation recently leading to the Allan government rolling out their genius plan of machete disposal bins in front of cop shops. A plan which clearly is working brilliantly, as we can see from the fact that there’s been a spate of brazen machete fights, including this one in a Westfield shopping center.

Not to mention the stabbing of a father and son next to the Yarra River in front of Crown, where four of the five youths involved in that stabbing were immediately bailed.

And three of them then went back to the scene of their own crime, not to express remorse, but rather to brag that once you stab someone, you get addicted. Speaking of bail, the thug responsible for almost severing a man’s hand in an unprovoked sneak attack to steal his mobile phone well, that kid was also bailed recently. Yeah. And did I mention that the courts recently saw fit to let a violent teen out on bail so that he could go on holidays with his family to Europe? Yeah, that must be those toughest bail laws in Australia that Jacinta Allan boasts about.

Oh, I nearly forgot this meathead with a gun actually a fake gun in the end who ran rampage in the suburbs before being arrested in the city. Now, credit to the cops involved in this one. No one knew that the gun was fake until he was arrested. And that, well, that’s what real police work actually looks like. I tip my hat to those officers. But the fact is the police are rarely in the right place at the right time. Let’s be honest. Most of the time our personal safety and self-defense is entirely up to us.

Earlier this week, an absolute legend in his undies bailed up a home invader, head locked him, and forced the little prick to call the cops on his own phone. Check this bloke out. He is straight out of central casting. He looks like he’s ready to go to Hollywood and play the lead role in a movie about himself. A movie about an absolute unit crimefighting vigilante in underwear. Damn, I’d love a body like that. But I’d also like to eat these chips. Do I need to mention the home invasions, the carjackings, the high-speed crashes, and senseless killing that’s become so normal in the streets of the once most livable city in the world over the last months and years?

All of this is happening in a state where law-abiding people are disarmed on purpose by law for fear that somebody might get hurt. Let me ask you a question. If a private security company said, “Hey, if you disarm yourself and pay your taxes, oh, sorry, pay our invoices, we’ll keep you safe.” And let’s say you foolishly trusted that group. You disarmed yourself. You paid those invoices, the taxes, and then when you needed protecting, they weren’t there. All they did was show up after the criminal had already fled, after you were lucky to be alive. And then you found out that the person who attacked you, well, they’re on a first-name basis with the management of the security company. They know each other. And in fact, they already had that prick in custody last week, but they let him out because they didn’t want to cause him any distress.

Would you continue to do business with a security company that failed that badly and on purpose, too? Of course not. In fact, that company would be liable to be sued for failing to perform on their contract. And under Victorian law, the directors of that company would also be liable for criminal prosecutions if their negligence caused injury or death to the public or their staff or their clients, including, by the way, you.

But what’s the difference if that company happens to be your government? At what point do we call this what it is and say that the Victorian government is running a protection racket for young violent criminals? They are protecting these thugs from their victims by requiring that the victims be disarmed. They’re playing catch and releaseleas games in the courts, giving all of the priority to the well-being of the thugs and no concern for the well-being of the victims.

And no police officer, no police commissioner, no police minister, and no state premier will ever be held criminally liable

for the people that they have actively helped to kill and maim by actively facilitating this crime wave and protecting these repeat violent criminals. These thugs need to be held accountable for sure, but the people who have facilitated this crime wave need to be prosecuted. They are at a minimum guilty, in my opinion, of negligent manslaughter because Victorians have now been murdered by violent thugs who were repeatedly released on bail despite their constant violent reoffending. And this is happening on their watch.

And part of me has to wonder, is that why they’re still so desperate to keep us disarmed? Because they know that the anger is rising. They know that a day of reckoning will come and the last thing they want is for ordinary Victorians to be able to stand up for ourselves. But we can stand up for ourselves. This brothel worker proved it. And she proved more than that. She proved that you are better off and safer taking matters into your own hands than you would be depending on and waiting for police who simply will not be there when you need them. or for that matter depending on a premier who based on the evidence of her actions simply doesn’t care.

This brothel worker didn’t just protect herself. She protected and helped us all by bringing the absolute madness of the current laws into sharp focus. Now, I don’t know if she’ll be prosecuted for weapons offenses at the time of this recording. There’s been no word either way, but I can say with confidence that there’s a lot of people and especially a lot of women who will be looking at that footage and asking themselves how they can get their hands on a can. Victoria is a powder keg of righteous anger against these thugs. Yes, but also against the government who protects these thugs. And whilst I don’t think that this particular story will be the one that lights the fuse on this powder keg, I also don’t think we’re very far away from a story that does.
