As DyslexicRAF said, we all seem to be in agreement. Unfortunately we seem to be concentrating on treating the symptons and not curing the disease. We've allowed a mindset (or "culture as the Media and politicos would have it) to flourish inside our society.
I gave a hint yesterday to what I believe the root cause is. Regrettably, if developed as an argument, some would view it as "racist". Well it's that shyness that's probably got us to where we are. Granted not all these events seem to have that link; the biker slotted on the motorway, for example. There were undertones of extreme violence in macho gangs even when I were a lad. As undesirable as it is, I think that's a sideshow.
We could flood the streets with policemen and fill the prisons pursuing the symptoms of the youth gang crime problem and it would still fester underground. What I do agree with is the claim that our Border is too leaky; both human material. I could take you to a sports shop in Brno, CZ, where you can buy almost any firearm, long and short, over the counter with nothing more than cash and a passport. Another question; did the PIRA destroy all their weapons or were some sold on?
