Crime

By now most Melbournians would have heard about the shootings that took place a couple of days ago.
It is just somewhat shocking for an incident like this to happen in goold ol Melb, especially on the streets I know so well, featuring locations that are so familiar. Spearmint Rhino. Williams Street. Flinders Lane. Doubly sad is that the fatally wounded victim was the good Samaritan who went to help. A nice lawyer, from my alma mater. Father of 3. The other injured victim was a Dutch backpacker.

But what is really ticking me off are the spates of violent crimes closer to home, inflicted upon mostly members of 1 race. Rape and robbery is out of control, mostly inflicted by members of 1 race. Here is an exception to the case. But others who were not so lucky found themselves raped, and the boyfriend had his tendons cut.

Too much crime, too close to home, and not enough being done.
