"The do-gooders have lost control and we let them!"

Who is 'we' Raw mustard?
Is that you and all the do-badders?

Maybe it was the do-badders who live in America who insist on their 'right to bear arms', where almost every second citizen has a firearm of some sort, and yet it is one of the most violent countries on earth?

I suppose if we all had guns there would be no need for king hits at all, as the good 'ol bad boys would just shoot them dead instead. Yes, that's much better.

Yes indeed, let's all sling on a '44 and shoot 'em all up... Yee hah!

Suse how would you suggest I should defend myself.

I'm over 70, have trouble walking a hundred meters, & probably couldn't fight my way out of a wet paper bag today. I have given up flying when I go interstate, because of the dangers of riding a train home from the airport, & at $140 each way, taxis are too expensive. It is cheaper & safer for me to drive.

My home is out of town, but past some of the worst ethnic suburbs in Brisbane, suburbs where ethnic gang warfare is not uncommon. I have had a couple of trips home where I was the only non ethnic in a carriage, & a gang of half a dozen or more were eying my suitcase quite obviously. If not for a couple of extra passengers boarding, I was in trouble.

There is absolutely no protection for the public on these trains, or at most of the stations. We have let this garbage into our country with no apparent thought of how to deal with them.

Meanwhile we have these fool planners & academics, wanting to force everyone into public transport. It is patently obvious that these fools have never ridden a train at night, alone. If they had, even an academic would see it is not something advisable for anyone.

What would you advise me, & others to do, when we can no longer hold a drivers licence.

The states in America that have the most guns have the least crime. An inconvenient truth for you I'm sure, little Susie. Look up the facts they're there for you to cry over! Best you go back to wiping bed pans like the good little girl that you are and let the big boys take care of your community. You failed!

What would you advise me, & others to do,
Hasbeen,
Now you're getting silly on us what with asking Suseonline for a solution ? You have a better chance of getting one of those king-hitting ethinc thugs do help you across the street before Suseonline will ever come up with something in defence of decency.

o sung wo and others have noted the fact these thugs see the act as making them look tough.
I too share the view they have a wrong self image.
Hasbeen points to a truth, he, me and most victims would have little chance of defending our selves against any attack, let alone a sudden unseen one.
Today we see yet another victim fighting for his life.
DAMN me if you must but yesterday we saw in cc footage an African GANG bash an Indian Student then kick him in the head.
I know so too surely does raw mustard we are not going to hand out twice the sentence we do for murder to these offenders.
But warn until the PC monster leaves us alone,until the costs of confinement are not measured when sentence are handed down.
We will be victims of criminals.
I propose we nominate and vote for Magistrates and as many levels of judges as we can to forever get rid of the wrong people on the bench giving the wrong verdicts at our expense.
Our justice system is as old and shaggy as the wigs on the heads of its far from average law givers.

Oh for goodness sakes, you lot are paranoid about everything!
Are we seeing the elderly being king hit left right and centre?
No, it's predominantly young men, and not always 'ethnic' people either.

Hasbeen, I do feel worried about our safety on the the street, and even in our homes, but I just don't see gun-toting vigilantes as the answer.

And no, just like everyone else, I don't have the answers to the violence in our society.
Raw Mustard, I don't believe you about less violence where most guns are owned in America. You need to provide the proof for your claims, not me.

The only thing I can think of is shutting all pubs, clubs and bottle shops by midnight every night of the year.

The police are constantly saying that the violence on the streets IS caused by excess alcohol consumption, and illicit drug taking.

Having worked in hospital emergency departments over the years, I can certainly say that Friday and Saturday nights were filled with alcohol related violent injuries.
And no, the bulk of the perpetrators and victims were not 'ethnic'.
