Whilst we debate about asylum seekers, population growth, climate change, internet filters there’s a much bigger problem that’s been developing ever so slowly over the past few decades. For the most part it’s largely gone unaddressed and appears to have reached critical mass or very close to.

In all honesty I don’t really see how things could get much worse.

It started off with the gradual curtailing of parental responsibility via means of discipline. All of a sudden it became taboo to discipline your child beyond any passive means. And even then when doing so if you didn’t cave in and give them what they wanted anyway, you were still a bad parent.

In short, anything short of letting your kids run riot and turn into little nightmares was seen as child abuse.

Over the years this method of thinking has slowly filtered it’s way up into the legal system. With parents unable to discipline their kids, kids increasingly got caught up in crime and now the line of thinking is that rehabilitation and the softly softly approach is best.

After all, kids aren’t capable of murder, violence and serious crime… a few months of counselling and they’ll be model citizens right?

Wrong. It’s utter horse shit to believe so and not only are an increasing number of Australians finally asking what went wrong, but increasingly they’re starting to realise what kids worked out long ago.

There simply is no punishment for youth crime.

After being released on bail following charges on ‘a stabbing, a robbery and assault‘, a now eighteen year old youth held up a fifteen year old on a tram and then proceeded to slit his throat.

When caught by police the youth told them

I felt like stabbing someone in the throat. I wanted to … kill him.”He’s lucky I didn’t drag him off the tram and cut his throat and stab him in the eye 50 times.

“I wanted to be a murderer … and I wanted to eat his heart. I wanted to cut off his limbs and burn him alive.”


Mind you this is the police he was talking to, it’s not like it’s alleged gossip. This moron is actually on police record saying these things during an interview.

Why?

“My lawyer is gonna get me off all this s— anyway, so I’m gonna laugh at youse when youse are at my court case.”


Sadly he’s probably right.

I mean if a stabbing, robbery and assault isn’t enough to get you put away for a very long time… what’s a little slit of someones throat?

The real kick in the nuts for society is that complete playing of the legal system by criminals like this. Shortly after being granted bail, the youth published the following on Facebook;

(I) had a stabbing and a robbery and assault pending. And I still got bailed. The dumb slut of a judge ha ha ha.


Kids aren’t stupid and the ones getting caught up in crime have been taking all of us for a ride for far too long. And it’s not like this is an isolated case either.

If we weren’t catching the perpetrators then it’d be a different story,  but we’ve hit this era where criminals don’t really care if they’re caught or not.

If you catch someone accused of committing a serious crime and they admit to it there should be no excuse as to why they are granted bail. Telling police that you actually wanted to kill someone isn’t just a state of mind that develops overnight.

Had someone with the slightest clue sat down and talked to this guy before he was previously granted bail I find it hard to believe none of this would have come out.

Really this should be a lot more out in the open. Traditionally crime when it gets out of control does surface as a primary election issue so why hasn’t it burst through this time?

I find it hard to believe that any Australian can read about this particular crime and not feel a sense of Australia’s criminals being woefully reprimanded for their crimes.

I for one would love to see the political parties tackle crime instead of pretending it isn’t out of control. Hell I’d even consider voting Labor and their stupid internet filter in if they announced an accountability policy for the judges who make these bullshit decisions. I mean that might be a bit too much to ask but at this stage I’d be willing to take anything, even the slightest hint that the government was acknowledging people are sick of Australia’s criminals running around like they own the place.

To hell with rehabilitation, it was  a nice feelgood experiment while it lasted but it’s long overdue that we get back to actual justice.
