Federal Election May 3rd

The police are frustrated.

There is also an untold story here.
Every shopping center has security guards but they are unarmed.
Where did they go during all of this?

So - they like machetes?
How many how hanging out with hidden machetes inside their jackets
and perhaps walk right past you and you don't notice?

[Jasin]

Don't worry Bobby. You're a brave Sir Knight.
I'm sure you'll be carrying a longsword to show them who is Boss.

I have only my bare hands.

I certainly wouldn't want to be fighting someone with a machete using my bare hands.
The cops wouldn't do so either -
they would just shoot them as happened in Sydney at Bondi Junction:

Maybe we need more security at shopping centers?

How about those metal detector arches that would pick
up anyone carrying a knife or gun into the place?
When I was in LA – the nightclubs had those at the door -
it was like airport security to get inside.
However they did have armed guards – with pistols in holsters -
around the arches in case someone did produce a knife or gun -
but we don't have any armed guards at our shopping centers at all.
I can sort of understand why -
apart from being expensive you wouldn't want a shootout
in such a densely packed place and that is plausible
when trying to stop someone who is armed from entering.

A female Armaguard security guard got attacked and bludgeoned with a crowbar. Her reflex, while under the influence of a blow to her head, produced her act of shooting the assailant dead. She was charged.
What's that tell you Bobby?
The Courts protect the Criminals here because they stole a loaf of bread apparently.

It was some years ago and if I remember right she was acquitted but even some fact of her going threw the proceeding as a suspect and having psychological problems including her not able to work in security again after, makes your point about our Courts valid though I believe that problems are not so much Courts but laws Courts have to follow.

Yes, here it is

More than two years after shooting dead a man who had beaten and robbed her, Sydney security guard Karen Brown today walked away from court a free woman.

We discussed it on original "Political Animal" on ABC and, BTW, Aussie was on that forum too, he claimed to be a retired lawyer back then.

[Jasin]

Well that's good news. I'm glad she did her job and snuffed out a baddie. Things were not kind to her at first.

In general they're not well trained enough for these situations and most of them are immigrants.

Yes - security guards - and where were they during this latest attack ? -
hiding underneath a shop counter?

I suppose you can't blame them -
who wants to take on an assailant with a machete using you bare hands?
