scary

I hear the screeches and wheelies and drag races going on at the road down from us every night ..... the hoon laws don't seem to stop it. I often feel like going down and very obviously write down rego numbers. But with the above examples of violence and short fuses displayed by the younger motoring fraternity, plus the knife issues going on, i would seriously fear for my safety. The cops just cannot respond fast enough to the SMS organised illegal drag races, this riot above was also organised by SMS.

Organised is the word how many people do you know of that have Flares in cars, with the exeption of bono-fide boaties, and I can't help noticing the many European/Middleastern types and sooo many wearing hoodies

Teargas and rubber bullets will sort them out quick-smart, the police force is too soft and politically correct these days, and before everybody gets upset about this, i know they are bound by lawyers and a sympathetic public (to those that need to express themselves etc) etc etc etc.......
There is an old saying - "those that won't listen must feel"

When are cops going to HTFU. I saw some of our hoodie wearing middle-eastern fratenity on a CCTV tape from the commuter wharves in Sydney harrassing female passengers getting off the late night ferries. In another tape we were shown they set fire to a bike which some poor bugger had left chained to the railing by putting newspaper in and under the back and front wheels and then stood and laughed while it burnt to the ground.

The cops where at this forum and said,"We can't respond as we get calls to more serious crimes. Tey also said that a lot of them like to fish as it gives them legal status to carry a knife - interesting

These rock apes know that even if someone does call the cops that they won't respond. They are not afraid of the law, the cops that are supposed to enforce it, let alone some poor member of the public that happens to give a hoot and says something to them.

I saw a group of them acting like proper ars**oles at the local KFC a while ago swearing and throwing stuff at each other inside while the rest of the little lovelies in the carpark had the doof doof on the fully sick sub-woofers blasting the eardrums of others waiting for the next batch of chook to be ready.

When some guy with two small kids asked them to please stop swearing. They descended on him from all angles and pushed and shoved him saying "What's your problem, you want to say something now"?

To quote the guy in the jail in the movie the Life of Brian "Nail em up I say. Nail a bit of sense into them".

Just dreaming. Those days are over. As soon as the cops go hard, the snivel libertarians and the local Mufti come out of the woodwork and say that this is wrong. No wonder the cops don't want to get involved. All they get is grief no matter what they do.

I am a firm believer in "discrete retaliation".

Strategically "dropped" bag of nails or screws for their ultra low profile tyres will bring a smile back on your dial.

Maybe even a zinger burger up the exhaust pipe if you can get away with it.

Same as down the road from my place. A big factory area, every Saturday and Friday nights they're there. Every week at about 12 at night for hours. Cops could very easily go bust them, there's only one road entrance/exit. Not to mention just last night there was two cops at Safeway a few seconds down the road. ****es me off.
