Is this "Really the way it is in the US?"
Does anyone here or in Australia believe this? One thing about the news media down under, they never ever let the truth get in the way of a headline.
Whenever there is an increase in all types of criminal activity the news media down under immediatly for some unlnown reason pin it all on the USA and or the American way.
News Headlines this morning Down Under;
"Lawless Australian thugs copy mayhem of US organised crime groups."
Its akin to believing that the dramatic increase in cigaret smoking by Australian women is because smoking is a very popular pastime in China and Vietnam!
First it was that we needed to get rid of guns and not follow the American way and make Australia a safer place to live in. Now that guns have been banned for many years, violence and street gangs have increased dramaticly and we are now being told we are again following the American way???
I do not believe this for one minute. The dramatic increase in street violence, rape, home invasion, car-napping, violent street bashings and the increase in gangs of all types has risen since the firearms ban introduced by the Howard Government. Criminals know they are free to attack, rape, rob and cause mayhem at will because not only are firearms banned, armed self defence of any kind is also illegal in Australia. Our problems have nothing al all to do with America!
