Violence in Melbourne - going down? my arse

[purples]

Fuck...things like that make my blood boil! Since it was reported they might be eligible for Victims of Crime assistance?

That's disgusting. *sighs* Melbroune is starting to sound like London where people are just allowed to do whatever they want because nobody stops them.

The cops probably did care, it is just that they're totally understaffed and most likely had all their people out. I saw a cop (clearly on her day off!) kick a guy off a bus here a few months ago and Wow, he hardly knew what hit him. There just aren't enough of them around.

Fucking Football Yobs.

And it's terrible that everyone stood by and watched. I feel very sorry for them.

Can you contact the media? Or write a letter of complaint to the station? Really, after a football game they should have police presence there anyway.

And people wonder why I don't like humanity mostly and why i don't travel or go out often.

I hope you loved ones are doing better.

Christ, that's awful. I'm so very sorry. I hope your Dad and brother are both okay. What a horrible thing to happen. This city is getting scarier..
My very best wishes to your family.

I just don't understand why people are like this! God people make me mad.!!!

I'm not sure what to suggest for your brother - that's just awful :( How DARE those morons ruin it for him and make him feel that way - it's just not fair.

You should be really proud of your father too! As for those people who did nothing. It's such a shame that people are just so scared to get involved nowadays because they're afraid of what might happen to them.

I hope they're both ok or will be eventually. Lots of reassurance, time and hugs should make things a little better.

love to your family, hon xo
