Not wanting to go to night games

[Pies2016]

To be honest Dave, you're lucky you don't drive these days, the road rage would probably get you first.

and African Gangs.

I just thinking I might not go to Night Games as you are Not That Safe at night going from MCG to Richmond Station.

I am really Considering this is what I will do this Season

FFS Dave, this media fixation with 'African gangs' is creating unnecessary hysteria. I can tell you for a fact that there was a lot more violence going to and from games back in the 60s and 70s. In general, there were sharpie gangs in many suburbs and alcohol fueled violence was common place at pubs and other entertainment venues.

Okay Then but Then are you okay with these African Gangs going around do what they are doing then?

I don't like violence from anyone.

Think about this Dave.

My mum's house was burgled two weeks ago by a couple of 'white Anglo' junkies. It didn't make the news.

I'll bet if the perpetrators had been found to be African youths, it would have been plastered all over the front page of the Hun.

[WhyPhilWhy?]

Yes - the hysteria being whipped up by what you are watching and reading about "African gangs" is all fake.

The vision they repeat on the news is like 3 years old now. Besides that one night, there's clearly been no "gang" activity to find.

(Yes, some kids of African extraction have clearly gone off the rails, and yes, they appear to be over represented in the crime statistics but the fear of groups of wild eyed youth roaming the suburbs is ridiculous.)

Better not watch the News then as they are Just Telling Us False Stories as it never happened

Fair statement, you got something to back that up?

Across various forms of media, it's pretty clear that there is currently a concerning issue with some Sudanese youths, to say it's all a fake is a pretty strong stance.

Thanks TP. Yeah, she is 86 yrs old, so it's shaken her up quite a bit, but luckily she was out of the house visiting her doctor when they broke in and ransacked the place. She was depressed afterwards, but I reminded her that her beloved Magpies would be playing again soon, and that cheered her up. She reckons Buckley will have us in Premiership contention this year!

I am not saying 100% of Crimes are done by African's as it's Obvious it's not.

But still does not mean there is a Problem with African/Sudanes Youths Gangs are NO True.

The Big Reason for Crime these days is Drugs

[Dave The Man]

Now a Cop is Attacked at Carrum on Saturday Night

More and More Reason not bother go to Night Games and Just Stay Home

[MagpieBat]

Mate you're more likely to get shafted by guys in suits your whole life, than a 0.1% chance of attracting someone in a hoody. Besides, I've seen you kick a rubbish bin at the top of the stairs in Level 4 in the Ponsford after a game... they are in trouble if they pick you dude.

You, uh, wouldn't happen to have footage of this particular incident, would you...?

And, more importantly, was the bin okay afterwards...?
