        cops cant protect people because they are only trained in revenue raising. They don't protect and serve they are just an armed debt collection agency for govt

        Unfortunately, it's likely such situations will lead to an increase in gated and policed communities. It's a woeful situation. People need to be integrated & number of immigrants, incl refugees, needs to be reduced significantly.

        Stand your grounds laws would not only reduce reliance on the police but also put fear to thugs who think they can do this with no punishment this will get alot worse yet believe me and soon when the dollar collapses the citys will be engulfed

        An increase in violence from potential victims will increase violence of potential abusers. Guns beget guns, etc... New phenomenon in Aust, large groups of thugs who don't see their victims as same people & only fear death. If they encounter death, they'll likely also kill.

        Australia isnt australia anymore so that agrument is invalid, and as job automation takes 80% of jobs over the next ten yrs the crime will becso great that they will have no choice but to implement SYG laws and hopefully a purge to reduce number of these bums

        New VicPol leadership required here- and a new state government who will tackle the issue proactively instead of reactively pussyfooting around it!
