Crying at a daycare
"Workingmom" wrote in message ... And I don't even know what you are talking about. Street gangs here wear particular sets of colors to represent their affiliation. It becomes pretty obvious that someone is a member of a gang when they're wearing a plain red baseball cap, white tshirt, red pants and white shoes. Now imagine about twenty or thirty kids dressed like that, wandering around a shopping center. A lot of people recognize the colors from exposure, cops are actively trained to so that if say, two rival gangs run into each other at a shopping center, the cop can get some reinforcement out and possibly defuse some violence.

Crying at a daycare
Sorry to disappoint you, but in NSW we CAN be searched without a warrant on suspicion of carrying a weapon. Can't remember when this law was passed, but quite recently. There was an outcry from members of youth gangs that they were just hanging out and police came, searched them and told them to disperse "for no reason at all" - the fact was they were loitering and scaring passers by in a shopping centre. Whereas if I am to take the earlier post seriously, *you* can end up amid open warfare and blatant drug-selling simply by moving to a poorer part of town. We just don't have that. Our drug lords tend to shoot each other, not passers-by. We have had a spate of underworld killings in Melbourne -- 28 murders in seven years, in a city of 3.6 million. That's what we'd call rampant gangland violence. And while our drug problem is sizeable, you won't see deals going on in the street in daylight. Depends where you are. I used to work in Footscray and Sunshine and for the first couple of weeks I worked in each suburb, would often get asked if I was chasin' between the station and work, until the dealers got to know my face. Where I work now, we used to see deals going down in the car park next door daily (until we started calling the police all the time) Arte |
