Thread: Alcohol fuelled violence

I don't know I would blame alcohol,its the ice that makes toe-rags super aggressive.

I saw a Psychologist giving a talk on Millennials. He was basically saying that they have been brought up with a sense of entitlement that is not consistent with their place in Society or the Word at large. As a consequence they are bewildered, frustrated and angered by there experiences outside of home. Any wonder they become violent under the influence of Chemical stimulants.
'Alchohol fuelled', I think, is the wrong expression. 'Alcohol enabled' would be more appropriate.
We live in a world which puts us under stresses to which we haven't had time adjust. Alcohol, IMHO, is a useful tool for helping us cope. Removing it would lead to us seeking other avenues for numbing our senses, probably with more dire consequences.
Remember regulation and prohibition have been tried, tested and failed.

Great post. Prob too late to change the title of the thread. I wrote it in the early hours of the morning while my heart was still pounding from what had happened.

Thanks but the title is a good one because the terminology is the current accepted terminology.
