Melbourne's No Go Zones Soon!
Riots in a major underground railway station in Paris, not by youths but adults. France has 750+ No Go Zones where the police won't go; the land is ruled by muslim law (unoffically). Now the same is being warned of Melbourne having it's own No Go Zones.(January 2007, The Australian)
VICTORIAN police are being urged to set up a special taskforce to tackle gang violence and lawlessness among young African migrants living in Melbourne's inner-city housing commission estates.
The push - led by rank-and-file police and terrified neighbours - is backed by the state's powerful police union, which claims sections of the African community need to be "properly educated" in Australian values.
"The Sudanese are very difficult to deal with - they come from a lawlessbackground and they really have to be properly educated about Australian society's standards," the Police Association secretary, Senior Sergeant PaulMullett, told The Australian.
Police in Melbourne's inner north and social workers are demanding resources to help deal with the problem.
"What's actually emerging in Victoria is the establishment of in particularyouth gangs and ethnic gangs, and our members just don't have the resourcing support to proactively police these gangs," Sergeant Mullett said
Police union members who worked around the high-rise public housing blocks in areas such as Flemington and Fitzroy were worried about their safety and becoming more reluctant to work there, he said. He called for a special taskforce or for departments to "establish taskforces of their own" to tackle gang activity.
Sergeant Mullett warned that more proactive police programs were needed to build better communication with African communities and prevent group violence from escalating to the levels seen in Sydney's Cronulla riots ...
Youth worker Les Twentyman said while there were African gangs involved in crime and violence, there were also gangs from other ethnic origins such as Pacific Islanders and Lebanese.
He said gangs were an escalating problem that would eventually lead to "no-go zones" in Melbourne if they were not properly addressed by police.

The "no go zone" is such a load of bullshit. Why on Earth do we cower in the face of petty thugery?
I think it's because the law favors the thug and thugs have illegal guns. Good honest people have no protection today.
In most of America we are still allowed to own guns without registration. An armed citizery is the best deterrent to thugery.
