Unsafe Streets of Australia-

The violence is an attempt at control, none of the people going around bashing people are in control of their lives. The only way they exercise any authority and feel they are in control is by incapacitating someone. Take a short look back to the over-prescription of anti-depresants and A.D.D. medication and you have a bunch of morons walking around, these morons grow up and after spending the past 5 years practically brain dead they can't function in society! Enter the ecstasy, ice and alcohol to loosen them up for their weekly public outing and abra-ca-dabra, hello hospital emergency room for some poor person that got in this toxic timebomb's way! If I was the police commissioner I would arm every cop with tasers and electrocute these bastards until their eyes fried in their heads! No tough stance, no results! - web comment

The new age of viciousness

STREET violence has become Victoria's Monday morning cliche to the point that it is barely news when some sad soul is bashed into a nursing home or a coffin by kicking, snarling and mindlessly aggressive idiots.

It's tough to admit, but we've grown accustomed to the blood and the death and the brain damage.

We care, but we don't react.

We accept the streets are dangerous and expect it will be somebody else suffering.

That is why there's hope the shock of what happened last Saturday night in Williamstown will cut through the public acceptance and inspire a search for solutions.

On Saturday a gentle and caring man who has probably been in your lounge room was bashed within inches of death.

You know his face well, and his voice.

He is Dr Makesh Haikerwal and he was once president of the Australian Medical Association.

It is certain over the past six years he has appeared on every television set in Victoria, which means he was there in your house, talking to you.

What is important is that Dr Haikerwal was attacked with a baseball bat.

He was using an ATM, but he wasn't simply mugged or robbed. That would have been bad enough.

He was smashed in the head and nearly died. Why?

Robbery is one thing, but why the extreme violence?

The same gang attacked five victims in the western suburbs, injuring others less severely. Think about it.

When news such as this is reported the immediate assumption is the thugs were young.

The assumption was correct. Police are looking for a gang of six or more believed to be behind these attacks, all aged from their late teens to early twenties.

Of course any victim is equally important, but this attack on a well-known man underlines that lunatic violence now seems the way of the world.
