Autumn Daly-Holt was bashed by the alleged
gunman; shooting victim Kara Douglas.

QUOTE: Ms Douglas said she had never
believed in capital punishment, but her attitude had changed.
"Bring back the death penalty as a
punishment for this cowardly breed and hopefully deter any future monsters
acting out their sick and twisted depraved fantasy on any more unsuspecting
innocent victims," she
said. "Those who have shown no mercy shall be
granted none."
AUTHOR: Kara Douglas was almost killed when Hell's Angel Christopher Wayne
Hudson shot her during a 2007 rampage that claimed the life of lawyer Brendan
Keilar and critically injured Dutch backpacker Paul de Waard. Shen has since
founded the Beautiful Kaos Foundation, a group aimed at helping the victims of
domestic and dating violence. The 2007 Melbourne CBD shooting was an incident
that occurred in the Central Business District of Melbourne, Victoria on 18
June 2007. Three people were shot, one fatally, by Christopher Wayne Hudson,
31, a member of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club, who opened fire on two men
and a woman during an argument on the corner of William Street and Flinders
Lane at about 8:20 am. Hudson fled from the scene and went into hiding for two
days, before turning himself in to police on 20 June 2007 in Wallan, north of
Melbourne. In May 2008, Hudson pleaded guilty to the murder of Brendan Keilar
and was sentenced that September to life imprisonment with a minimum of 35
years before becoming eligible for parole.
COMMENTS AND CONDOLENCES:
We, the
VFFDP, care for all victims and their families, and include Homicide Survivors,
regardless of race and country.
Kara, we understand that there is no
death penalty in Australia, but we wish you all the best in the Beautiful Kaos
Foundation. Coming this November 2013, we will blog about Marsy’s Law. We
recommend Marsy’s Law for you, it is a law where victims’ family or homicide
survivors, whose killers are still alive in prison, have victims’ rights. It is
better than having no protection at all.
