- | Yeah, look, when we first saw him, | 0:00 |
I think it was the shock numbed you, | 0:04 | |
you didn't really | 0:07 | |
really know what to think | 0:11 | |
when there's a... | 0:12 | |
You know, I don't care who it is, | 0:14 | |
whether it was David or whoever, | 0:15 | |
to have someone shackled like that, right? | 0:16 | |
But also the fact that he was taken | 0:20 | |
through a corridor that was... | 0:23 | |
I mean if you had tried to escape from that place | 0:24 | |
you wouldn't get out the door anyway. | 0:27 | |
So you had all that lead up. | 0:30 | |
And then all of a sudden, | 0:32 | |
the shock of seeing a person like David shackled. | 0:33 | |
Then yeah it's, Jesus, my bloody son, | 0:39 | |
why are they bloody... | 0:41 | |
He's not hurting anybody. | 0:45 | |
So what the hell was he doing shackled? | 0:46 | |
Particularly in that | 0:48 | |
I mean, when I say shackled, it was in that position. | 0:50 | |
So you can't sit up, he was completely restrained. | 0:54 | |
Two leg irons through the loop, | 0:59 | |
hand shackles down between the leg shackles | 1:03 | |
to the loop again. | 1:09 | |
And I mean, the ring that went through was huge. | 1:10 | |
So he had no hope of getting away from anything. | 1:12 | |
And I thought, well, this is absolutely stupid. | 1:15 | |
So we spoke with, we said to Steve and Kenny | 1:19 | |
is there any way these blokes are gonna unshackle him? | 1:22 | |
So Steven spoke with them and they did allow that | 1:26 | |
but they wouldn't undo the leg shackles. | 1:31 | |
So at least he could stand, they allowed him to do that. | 1:34 | |
They allowed him to hug, and shake hands, | 1:37 | |
and that sort of thing. | 1:39 | |
But the initial shock was, it was a shock. | 1:43 | |
It was just, he was just numbed. | 1:46 |
