Melbourne CBD Incident

[LP]

Some might say it satisfies society's need for justice....Benjamin Franklin wrote:

I think the problem is EB1 the minute you have a death penalty the money people think they will save from not having long term imprisoned is actually consumed many times over by legal appeals.

Also, the death penalty promotes violent confrontations between police and desperate criminals, which is why many police are against it.

I think the solution is to bring back the asylums, seriously kit out the police force to deal with these sorts of situations, and setup some sensible preventative measures. But the politicians won't because it costs money. In the meantime, the Lord Major will keep complaining about the lack of police and security in the CBD while he blows up another few $million in fireworks. The money spent on those fireworks could fit vehicle, pedestrian barriers or bollards at most critical CBD or Suburban locations in the state.
