Can't tell if you're being sarcastic but there are some serious assholes in the stands when the Williams sisters play in Europe.

Was it one of Melbourne’s ‘African gangs’ that has been in the news so much lately? The article didn’t say
Is that a thing? I mean, I know a ton of people from here go to Australia/New Zealand so that wouldn't surprise me.
drunkill
No, if it was it would say so because that is what the media wants to play up.
The muggers are minors so I suspect they aren’t allowed to publish any identifying information at all
microman55
Once Australasia took everyone's guns away they left the gangs in control.
jaysfootballfriend
You're wrong on so many levels
Yes give the gangs guns. That will make things better.
As someone from Melbourne tourists be warned it’s just the same as any other major city, don’t walk through parks at night and also near -
- the yarra river. The side with the restaurants is ok. Also stay away from the corner of Elizabeth and flinders streets at night.

Young and Jacksons I think is the pub on the corner. When I used to go out that was the place to avoid. Maybe now it's Fed Sq.

It’s not just the “gangs” lots of drug addicts as well.
Yeah. I used to go to flinders st everyday and they would be there. One with a dog trying to bite people.
That corner near Elizabeth street is bad too.

Is this related in any way to the crazy bitches in Victoria that beat the pulp out of a disabled girl for two hours?
Almost certainly not as those offenders were 15, 15, and 12.
I really don't believe in second chances for people that do this kind of thing. I hope they go away for a long, long time.

Lock 'em in a cage full of Cassowaries.

If they don't serve time then they should add a felony on their records. So shit like this will always haunt them.
Also when they turn adults and they look for jobs they can struggle to be employed. Let them feel regret and shame.
Not going to happen. Here in Aus sentencing, particularly for youth, is very lenient. At most 1 or 2 will end up serving a year or 2.
Thats sad. In some areas of the US, that kind of crime would damn near automatically get them tried as an adult. I hope they at least learn.
Ideally, I hope they serve their time and became valuable members of society....granted, that's statistically unlikely with such a crime.
