That elephant again:

Posted on December 31, 2011 by KG

‘SYDNEY is under siege from gangs of heavily armed robbers terrorising shopkeepers, pub staff and residents.
Meat cleavers, machetes, sawn-off shotguns and axes are among the weapons used in recent weeks as thugs smashed their way into so-called “soft targets” – mostly service stations, bottle shops and licensed premises – demanding cash, wallets, jewellery and mobile phones…’
Nowhere in the article does it mention the ethnicity of the majority of the gangs. And the police are at pains to play down the problem–just as they would be if it was gangs of Scottish Presbyterians, of course…

    On a more serious note and back to the lead article:

    “The surge in the number of hold-ups is a major concern for police because it bucks a downward trend that has seen the lowest rates for armed robbery in years.”

    Which leads one to ask what exactly has changed in the region to bring about this recent increase in this sort of crime? Have native-born Australians just suddenly lost the plot? Or is this more a case of foreign and anti-Western ‘interlopers’ who have imported their 7th century barbaric and backward culture with them – and now that they are becoming of significant numbers are dropping the veil and acting true to type?!

    Nah, couldn’t be – it’s obviously those damned “Scottish Presbyterians” just trying to get attention again …

    It may be the newspaper not publishing all the information rather than the police. Not volunteering or anything, but it might be worth tracking down the actual police report that has been released.
