Very upsetting what just happened on Bourke Street
I'm shook. Hope the injured recover and the lost soul's close ones find peace.
The culprit can fucking rot
Once upon a time it was safe to walk or take the tram around the city. Not any more. It's so sad.
This feels like a little bit of a leap.
Nah Pilko I can tell you now as a a 46 year old who has frequented the city their whole life it is getting worse.
Yeah nah, 90's were worse
I don't think so. I remember people nodding off on trams and trains. I remember the hari kristners begging, the odd dero who's pissed himself, the drunks. I don't ever remember the violence that commuters are experiencing today.
I remember people getting glasses smashed on them outside y&j. I remember drunk cunts getting very fucking rapey around flinders. I remember a lot of queer bashings.
I get that and things weren't reported like they are now but I don't remember cunts wanted to start fights because they've been up for 4 days straight.
the issues are more frequent and moving out further into the suburbs
Ehhh i grew up in a bad neighborhood so ymmv
it's getting more and more dodgy inside the trams too
Exactly.
people need to understand that they own public property, and so they should treat it with respect
I saw the report on the Guardian. Awful.
