Well I would not be surprised if drugs have an impact on a spate of crimes in ADL that I just read about.
The pub I used to go to in North Adelaide was held up at midnight by 2 men with a stolen car (that they eventually torched). And my post office was robbed by 2 men waiving machetes -- which sickens me as through the years, I have gotten to know the people who run that postal outlet. North Adelaide is a nice, upscale area.. crime like this was never a common occurrence; hopefully these will continue as rare occurrences.
Me too. Sweet lady.. hope she was not too devastated...
Well hopefully she has friends and family around her that can support her while she recovers AND hopefully the idiots that did it are caught and actually jailed.

Hate to say it moonshadow, but with this countries Justice System even if caught they probably won't even get any jail time

Yeah, I know. Even as I was typing I was thinking about how unlikely it is.
It's farce really.
Still...I do hope they catch the bastards and they end up in court right when some great sweeping change has been made to the Australian judiciary and are sentenced to spending 15 years cleaning out port-a-loos from Octoberfest or something equally heinous like that, 7 days a week.

I've seen that stats for incarceration rates per capita are similar between Canada and Australia...
I wonder if our country is either noticeably-safer, or Aussies are mostly just more aware of what's happening in their own country.
Makes me wonder,
especially since there was a famous case less than 10 years ago of a Jamaican man who killed someone and was deported back to Jamaica instead of being sentenced. He snuck back (fake I.D.?) into Canada and killed a second person and was yet again, deported... Then he returned and killed a third person, but this time they were considering prosecution instead. (News stories like that are exceedingly-rare here, however. )
