*******************************

Yeah - Call Crimestoppers that'll make everything alright. Calling Emergency Services didn't do fuck all to stop the second attack and the two witnesses did fuck all to stop the first.


Honestly - I reckon only about 5 people in Australia would think that law abiding private citizens should be allowed to carry a concealed weapon for the defence of self and others. If this kid dies it's on gun control australia's head - and the moral cowards that would have someone else do the heavy lifting. Guess what? You're a someone. Maybe you think only Police should have guns?

Cops have guns. Politicians have armed Police as body guards.
