Has anyone handed their maybe/perhaps broad cutting utensil into those new shiny machete bins?

Nope. Cut mine up at work with the guillotine.

Several Africans arrested today in St Kilda with the point man carrying a handgun.

At least he didn't have a machete. You could lose an eye with those things.

Well now it’s tomorrow, so they’re back on the streets having got bail.
Stop of at a convenient machete bin on the way back to Westfield shopping centre.
No one actually shops there anymore btw. It’s just some sort of modern day arena with gladiators.
Usually it’s a contest between an Indian security guard armed only with a high viz safety vest, vs a tribe Africans armed with machetes.
It’s not really a fair contest but the crowd loves it, and it’s nice that the emperor puts these events on for us sometimes after a long week in the fields.

And yet another Vic stabbing, now 2....do I hear 3?
Looks like the crims are having one last fling before handing in their machetes?

Another stabbing by a homeless person on a woman going to work. Complete nut job. I came out of a bar this year and a guy was murdered on 50m away. The filth on Elizabeth Street should have been cleaned up. But with Nic Reece as major don't expect to see that Andrews sock puppet anywhere near there after dark.

2 teens attacked by machete wielding gang outside Luna Park last night say the media. Must be fake news because Jacinta has banned machetes and even put out bins to put your garden tools into, and we all know the criminal element wouldn't dare ignore a Law don't we?

You live in a fantasy world if you think that by making laws that frighten good folk into turning in things so they aren't arrested or jailed will make the public think you are actually doing anything to curb crime. Oh hang on... my bad.
They think we all are idiots.
But most good folk are idiots, they fall for the lies every time and vote for the narcissists laughing at them.

All the good gun laws do, EVERY f'wit on R&R driving the newest unregistered Razor buggies up and down the rural roads packed with LEGAL guns and eskies full of diabetes, shooting over someone else's fences ARE legal gun owners.

Lol like that's a rural thing? My street had some African druggers letting off a 22. Down the road Chris Hudson was letting off a hand gun before a murder the next day. Same street Africa rapper was slain over payback on his brother in Sydney and on the next street some Turks shot and killed an islander outside Gattos boxing ring.

When I hear country folk complaining about poachers then they haven't seen how the other half lives.

doesn't mean it's acceptable does it ? i've found people out bush to be decent and respectful in general . having FIFO w@nkers driving around on public roads , drunk at times probably, shooting up the place is not on in my book. and it's illegal .

your living in melbourne i presume , judging by the description of the behaviour you described in your local area . if this is what's "normal" for you, and you think people like wapati are just having a whinge , i think you need to move out mate . :unknown:

Thanks for the support, Bigrich.

My comment was supposed to show how pointless knee-jerk laws against bad people only restrict and instantly make all the good people into crims if they aren't further restricted. I wasn't trying to elicit a "that's nothing, my local slum has criminals so your experiences are irrelevant".
Not trying to be a smart @rse, but if someone has some comprehension skills, they might see how laws against d1ckheads are pointless without punishment and that was my point.

Just over a month ago at 10.30PM my dogs awoke me to something amiss, turned out someone was sneaking around in my sheds whilst a big American Ram micro-penis truck waited out on the road. My house is up a track from the gate but you encounter the sheds first. I went after this knob and he beat me to the truck and they roared off.
I know who they are, they belong to the mob previously described.
Whilst in town grocery shopping I had a stupid thought it would be best to report it to the town cops. All i got was a "well what do you expect us to do?" I should've just let it go.

It's obvious from watching tge news every evening that the cities are not just full of leftists that are scaring our politicians, but also that that's where all the criminal organisers are based. People are flocking out here thinking that if you are 50+km from town, all is suddenly utopia. Problem is that they are bringing their disrespect and city selfishness with them.
The coppers here, if they weren't doing OT in speed camera vans, are an hour away, not in every suburb. If they bothered to take on the difficult stuff that is.

And if a discussion about a topic is tiring some, well time out for you. There's a solution.

Last time I checked this post was about machete bins in Melbourne. It is normal. 36 firebombings of tobacco wars in the last 18 months makes complaining that somebody spotlighted down their street. The main people doing spotlighting these days are the cops looking for crims.

there wouldn't be a need for machete bins if the courts locked up criminals for their crimes for a meaningful time instead of banning the machete. whether it's firebombings or illegal spotlighting and trespassing with intent out at wapati's property it's all unacceptable to me . if you think the crime and firebombings are now normal where you live in melbourne i feel sorry for you . we don't tolerate that up in QLD .
demeaning a bloke for some of the crap going on around his area that is obviously criminal behaviour is not a just argument . it should be condemned just as the criminals in your neck of the woods should be condemned. wouldn't be the first time a conversation on this forum has gone of topic either . it is sort of relevant as to criminal behaviour/ punishment vs bins and bans :thumbsup:

That's one thing I notice with Australia is property crime is higher than the USA, I think because there isn't much of a deterrent for it. Here those guys would succumb to lead poisoning in short order. Where I live we really don't have much crime, violent crime rate is 0.0%. There might be the odd crime of opportunity by someone on drugs but they either get shot quickly or end up in prison. The local judges will put people in prison for up to 2 years for small thefts even, so that tends to solve any problems, along with the fact just about everyone here has a gun.

sadly , facts like what you posted are ignored . consequences for criminal behaviour are minimal by comparison in australia .
hmmm , i wonder why crime is up :sarcasm:
guns are bad , and criminals have more rights than victims . my government tells me , so it must be true :sarcasm: :roll:
i've heard crime is very low in traditional , and more rural parts of america . stark contrast to victoria

Statistically speaking most of rural America is the safest in the world.

In my county police mostly deal with traffic enforcement and there are a few domestic or such situations that go on, usually drugs or alcohol related. And then there might be the odd shoplifting thing that happens, typically drugs are involved. Any major crime outside of that is rare. Around here you would have to be suicidal to try to burglarize anyone's house, everybody on my rural road has an AR 15 or AK 47, you'll just be obliterated. My sheriff told me years ago if such a thing did happen, shoot them enough times to make sure 100% they are dead, as it's less hassle for them when all the police turn up.

or a bow for a cross bow . anyone with half a brain and a grinder could make a large knife or sword . the lefty vic guv'ment have made the issue about possession of inanimate tools instead of having consequences for criminal behaviour. and the idiots who brought in these laws are part of the system running this country . what a joke :thumbsdown:

Talking about crossbows...
I was in a large Toowoomba gunshop looking for a present for the missus and all of the pocket/folding knives with blade studs or extensions (that allow them to be opened with one hand) there have been quarantined by the government until they finally determine whether they are going to be deemed restricted items and placed under the Category M - where crossbows currently are.

Pathetic and retarded as that is, I'm not surprised.
Until the whinging and whining voters, that continue to vote for human trash that have
Never worked a day in their lives except for working at backstabbing and butt-f*cking their fellow colleagues in the union or political dungeons,
That have never left the comfort of the city except on holidays,
That were indoctrinated in a university or are union official softc*ck bludgers,
Have never run a business and had to consider their employees ability to feed their kids or keep a roof over their heads as well as their own,
Have hired and had to fire employees and worry about looking after them,
Treat fellow human being with respect until they prove unworthy of that,

You all get what you deserve.
Thing that p*sses me off the most is that I don't fit into any of the above categories and have to be called guilty and never proven worthy of being equal or superior to the political slime above.

about 8 years ago i went with my sister and her kids to a soccer match in vic . and yeah , what a vicious , backstabbing , lying pack soccer mums can be . the politics in the management of the clubs is as ruthless as the mafia . real shame for the kids, they hear and see what's going on , such a p!ss poor example of adult behaviour that sets poor standards for the kids to follow . no wonder this country is up sh!t creek :cry:
