60 minutes riots story

[EB-maen]

I caught the story on 60 minutes about the suburb in which all that rioting took place (i cant remember the name of it so from now on i'll just refer to it as 'Hells Outhouse') and the mentality of the people that live there is downright appalling.

First of all, the whole 'cops kill kids' bullsh*t really ****es me off; I dont see how police doing their job by attempting to stop hooligans from braking the law and endangering other people is killing them, just because they are stupid enough to try and get away and end up crashing their stolen car. Mike munro was talking to a kid in one of the houses and he (the kid) said stuff like 'they needed a way to get home from their girlfriends place' and 'it beats walking' and the fact that they stole the car wasnt the point. And then, some other lebanese-looking individual saying crap like 'come and play coppa' is just stupid, not to mention the 'cops kill kids. we will kill you dogs' scrawled all over the fences.

I mean, sure, the problem here is definitely the scum that lives there, but also, you have to look at the way things are handled in Australia. I can honestly say that the way in which stuff like this is combatted is ****-weak. In places like germany france or the us, if a whole community started a riot and were injuring police and destroying property and writing threats on fences, the police wouldnt just stand around and take it, they would be authorised to use force, which is how it should be. Perhaps if the inhabitants of Hells Outhouse were taught a lesson that clearly tells them 'dont be d*ckheads because your moronic neighbours killed themselves while breaking the law, and vent your idiocy by attacking police officers', they may think twice before acting up in the future.

Thats what I believe anyway, Australia (the legal system) is too soft when it comes to cases like this, and I'm just wondering if anyone else feels the same? Once again, the mentality of these people is mind-boggling; I cant grasp how someone thinks that it is acceptable to steal cars, but when people who serve to uphold the law try and do their jobs, its 'murder'. Bloody infuriating.

Call me an evil dictator, but I'd say go 'escape from LA' style on the offenders and cordon them off away from the rest of society.
