It was a snap decision that anyone could have missed, leaving a seven-year-old dancing student in the clutches of a depraved rapist.
The split-second judgment call would put Sydney father Nick Gilio at risk of death as Anthony Sampieri lashed out and slashed him.
But Mr Gilio’s immediate grasp of the situation saved the little girl lying bound behind the toilet door.
....
With the scalpel-style knife in his hand, Sampieri lunged at Mr Gilio, slashing his stomach.
Sampieri brandished the knife at Mr Gilio, the mother and her daughter, indicating they couldn’t leave the toilets.
The mother tried to leave, carrying her daughter – still bound and tied – to the door, but Sampieri swung the knife, cutting the mother’s hand.
Mr Gilio wrapped one arm around Sampieri’s head and used his other arm to hold down the wrist of the hand in which the rapist held the knife.
Using pure body force, Mr Gilio spun Sampieri down to the floor, where they landed on their hands and knees.
Sampieri’s left shoulder was pressed into Mr Gilio’s right shoulder, the offender having a slight advantage with his head raised higher.
Sampieri managed to cut Mr Gilio’s wrist with the knife, then lifting his right arm across the back of Mr Gilio’s neck, he struck again.
Dragging the knife across the back of Mr Gilio’s neck, he slashed a 14cm wound.

Some people just deserve killin’. Sampieri is one of those.
God bless the little girl and her parents, and especially the hero of this horrible encounter, Mr. Gilio.
Hi, ZephyrTX-!
While I fully understand the anger you had/have about this cretin’s behavior, we must always strive to avoid being the same type of animal as this man.
I rage when I read about this type of crime.
The 2nd reaction is to *always* remind myself that if I do wanton violence upon another human being than I am no better than he or she and they have thus caused me to compromise myself.
Sigh.
I do strongly believe in the Death Penalty.
I also believe in people carrying arms for protection.
If Mr Gilio (sp?) were carrying and killed the rapist on the spot I would have held no grudge against Mr Gilio.
The prison inmates will not tolerate the rapist and he will find his time behind bars to be worse than his previous prison time.
I would have had zero problem if the mother had wasted the rapist if she could.
Easy, one of them was quoted as saying “This is MAGA country”
Worked for juicy smolay.
One should always be armed, regardless.

Any society that allows an animal like Sampieri to live past sunset deserves all the bad it gets.. and we do.
Kogarah is very very heavy with immigrants
Awaiting sentencing on December 9.
Feel very sorry for Mr. Gillo. He is going to live in fear for a very long time. He followed his natural inclination to protect and now he is fearful he will not be able to protect enough.
The initial crime is only the beginning of the offense to all of us because it makes us fearful and untrusting of one another. Criminals are a pox on all of us and deserve to be destroyed. Not jailed, destroyed.
It is a shame Mr. Gillo did not kill Sampieri when he had the opportunity. I would have taken the lid off a toilet and smashed his head to a bloody pulp with it. I would like to do it now.
My first thought, and as a CCW, my first reaction.
That poor mother and kid are going to have nightmares for years.
Are you for real?
Or is that intended as a Ned Flanders imitation?
“Are you for real?”
__________________________
Quite real, I assure you.
Not getting the Ned Flanders imitation, although I do believe you meant it possibly as an insult from your first question.
I understand the human getting in ‘the flesh anger’ as that’s part of our human condition.
If he gets a death penalty, I wouldn’t have a problem with that penalty. Unfortunately, our courts will not allow that penalty to be applied.
That said, lock him up, throw away the key and help the young girl overcome this event.
The punishment/justice and how it’s carried out is every bit an indication of the human’s soul applying it as it is to the soul of the depraved mind.
We are *better* than the deprave rapist.
No threat is neutralized until it’s stopped breathing.
Wise in combat is criminal in court.
Good luck proving it to a jury of my peers.
*shrug* I would be the holdout for acquittal. But you and I are not likely to be selected for an Australian jury.
And certainly never in a fight with someone who would kill you if he could. Or like in this case would kill you, a little girl, and her mother, after raping the child.
Which is why you post airy nonsense like "We are *better* than the deprave rapist."
I'd forgotten what the idiocy that dominated 1960s liberal thought on punishing criminals sounds like.
When a Mexican neighborhood captured the Night Stalker rapist/murderer here in SoCal he barely escaped with his life. They beat him relentlessly and only stopped because the cops arrived. Good for the vatos.
“I suspect from your posts that you’ve never in your life been in a fight. “

Let me be clear:
It’s not to be your concern who I have or have not killed or paid someone to kill.
It’s only by the Grace of the Salvation that I am at this time in my life, alive.
Jesus Christ is the reason I can live with what I’ve done in my past shallow, wasteful life.
Not you. So exactly what you’re trying to preach here will fall on my deaf ears.
Self defense is perfectly fine with me. In times of extreme rage in the protection phase of protecting those we love and those we hold to be precious is understandable.
Rage for rage’s sake, though?
No. That is in ‘the flesh’ and part of sinning.
You want to eliminate a rapist caught in the act, and you are the person who caught him/her/them and you can save someone’s life or physical being by taking the life of the offender/s?
Fine by me. I truly have no issue with that.
Violence done to someone after that phase out of a sheer anger to cause them harm before death?
You’re now on the slippery slope of being an animal, yourself.
If you wish to devalue yourself to that level, then there are very few that can reason with you or keep you from doing that, short of force.
As for myself, having walked through a few things I do not intend to repeat I’d rather die and face my Lord than do some things, again.
Acting in sheer rage is one of them.
By the way, we *ARE BETTER* than them if we keep from being them.
By the Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Well aren’t you the important one.
Well “Let me be clear”, to quote a pompous ass:
In this discussion your experience is an issue, seeing as you have set yourself up as the high pope of how others should behave.
“Well “Let me be clear”, to quote a pompous ass”
_____________________________________________
Pelham,
You shouldn’t get triggered so easily.
You are perfectly free and welcome to consider me a pompous ass.
You are correct in that my experiences are an issue. They are between myself and my Lord God. There is no personal debt I owe you.
You’ve judged me on my belief system as if yours is the only correct view. It’s all a matter of personal beliefs: I understand that people react differently.
The wonderful thing about Free Republic is the ability of one to express our thoughts and opinions.
If you wish to be violent upon a person when not needed then you will simply need to live with that particular feeling or urge. The consequences that follow would be upon you.
I elect not to do so.
I suspect notthereyet may be a splittail
Hence recoils at brutal justice
This was a very bad man....which is why hero kicked him a good one in the head when he was done
And while I am on record on this very forum lecturing that kicking someone in the head when down is risky however in in this case it was warranted warranted
A neck stomp woulda been too
Advice I regularly warn my boys against not wanting them to pick up a manslaughter charge getting carried away in a simple dust up
“I suspect notthereyet may be a splittail”
_____________________________
Last I looked at myself in the mirror I was a fully (over fully, actually) formed human being, not a fish.
Mr Gilio was still in the phase of recusing and his emotions were still quite raw.
That said, neither of you apparently *missed* the fact that I said nothing against his actions. Nothing at all.
Those who are apparently interested in this discussion need to go back to the original ping that I was addressing.
That particular violence is not needed. It only reduces the person doing it to the level of the rapist.
Satan enjoys and encourages the actions coming out of the emotion of rage for the wrong reason, let alone out of the rage humans feel when it’s for the correct reasons.
Mix it up, call me a fish (?), I’m okay with it.
Get between me and mine and it’s over.
After the fact, though, I must rely on the Lord God to get me through it and that does include if justice does not seem to be getting served.
When we resort to behaving like those violent men and women when there is no need, what we’re actually saying is “I don’t quite trust that the Lord God will avenge me.”
It matters. It really does.
I find it odd because of my belief system that it’s assumed what I can and cannot do, or what I’ve done or not done.
Enough has been done by me in this life to be utterly grateful for Salvation.
There’s a chance of reverting to my Old Self as I’m only human. I am determined not to cross that line.
Not a Pacifist. Not a Liberal.
Just NotThereYet...
