Don’t visit Australia, people are pathetic

So this happened in broad daylight, in a capital city, in a train station, a gang attack and nobody helped this 16yo girl. She couldn’t defend herself against a gang of 8
What is this country I live in coming to, people stand by, watch this and do nothing.

Outside of that media ignore this
This is great footage for the media, great drama, great appeal for news networks to rake in views and nothing.
Sensationalistic journalism is the catch cry from msm, it’s all they have left to sell advertising and nothing.
No media outrage, why, colour?
Police can’t touch it because the girl is afraid of more attacks, does that make the police in Victoria insipid and useless, legal system impotent, useless
If our police force went on strike then nobody would notice if that’s the case

Heart breaking

Melbourne's a hellhole, but it's still better than everything the USA has to offer.

No, I doubt most people in the US would just stand by and watch that. Half a dozen guns would have been drawn to defend that girl I would hope

It would be.

But there are kangaroos there.

Phage, it's good to hear from you mate!

The kangaroos are a problem, but they taste nice. So all's good.

“The bystander effect”, very interesting psychology
www.verywellmind.com...

The term bystander effect refers to the phenomenon in which the greater the number of people present, the less likely people are to help a person in distress.

Sad reflection on our culture, but

Why hasn’t the media in Australia touched this story is part of my question, black on white?

Americans stand by and watch things like this happen all the time. It's just a human thing.

Don't confuse Democrat-run cities in America with the majority of America.

I have a lot more freedoms than any normal citizen in Australia, for instance.

But keep your ignorance on!

It seems oddly fitting on you.

Not everything comes down to blue or red, lol. Something tell's me your're ignorant of the freedoms possessed by Australians.

Savages

Australia has imported refugees from all over the world for decades, none of them have created the same problems that these Africans have.

No More Savages from Savage Lands.

National pride.
They're more than willing to show & exaggerate any/every-thing wrong with the USofA.
Who hates the Dallas Cowboys?

Careful, you're libel to get some 'mericans all riled up.

Melbourne is the bowels of Australia....it's where all the crap accumulates.

Standard defensive tactics
Ignore the issue at hand and hilite someone else’s problems to deflect

Any ‘mericans would be foolish to play that deflection game

Hey, i agreed that Melbourne is a hellhole, but i don't get your fawning over Americans. I doubt most people in the US would have jumped in with guns in a similar situation. People get gang bashed by people of all ethnicities in the US every day.

I'm not blue or red... I'm an Independent that is currently thinking that Trump would be a good choice for this year because blue currently sucks.

As for the freedoms currently possessed by Australians...

This weekend I'm hosting a party. Not a big party... it's going to be about 80 people.

The local Sheriff and some deputies are coming out too because they really like my shooting range... 700 yard targets, a separate (to the right!) 25 yard and 50 yard target set for pistols.

My 50 cal I've cleaned up for the year and we will be having some fun with it...

The law is bringing automatic weapons so that should be fun too...

I will be serving my personal wine for the year...

Somewhere in the middle of that some of us are going to go to my sweat lodge, do a bunch of peyote (legal for me) and we will see what the Gods talk about...

The next day I will make a big breakfast, then I will ask for volunteers to help me run an electrical line to my pond (which I did not need a permit to build) so that I can put another aerator in the pond so that my trout (that I did not need a permit to bring on my property) will have a little more bubbles.

I also do not need a permit to extend the electricity on my property, because my property has no Covenants.

SoOo... how free are Australians again?

a reply to: Raggedyman

It's a terrible thing that happened.
I'm outraged by it. My daughter is about her age.

I will never go to Australia because of this.

Happy now? All better?

a reply to: Lumenari

You gotta let me visit sometime!

One person I know really well , would have absolutely put and end to it.
Along with any of my friends that may have been present.
I tried Australia once.
Still reminds me how it started out.
