Should Rudd enforce 'No Tolerance Cities?'
January 7th 2008 03:28
I say yes..This morning I caught up with my friend for a coffee and enquired on how her New Year turned out. 'Well great' she said, 'that is until we headed back to get the car'.
She continued, "Hubby, I and my sister inlaw and her hubby were strolling down George St, Sydney when Hubby and I realised we'd lost them , we heard screaming and knew immediately it was my sister inlaw. So we raced down to where we could hear her and found her husband being belted by 3 youths (around 20) saying they were going to take the baseball bat out of their backpack and give him a serve. It was chaotic, people were scared and moving aside. One guy was trying to talk them down .... " The upshot of this sordid little tale is that my friends' husband tried to take one of the guys of his brother inlaw's back only to be taken down by all 3 and kicked repeatedly in the head, losing 5 teeth, gaining a very black eye and suffering a fractured rib. The police did turn up and captured 2 of them but not before the 3rd got away with the backpack that contained the baseball. bat.
WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON....these guys are clearly looking to get a piece of action and possibly cause some very serious damage..this is inciting and riotous behaviour...scary stuff.
This is more common than we know. What do we do??? The previous mayor of NYC (julianni) enforced a no tolerance state and cleaned a shady city. It that what's needed ?
