Streets of fear shame
THIS current Queensland Labor so-called government must be the most arrogant dysfunctional mob ever to be out of control in our state.
They are completely out of touch and oblivious to what is going on in Townsville as far as crime is concerned, even allowing that we have three representatives living here that witness the everyday goings on but prefer to keep quiet and not upset the boss, no one can blame them as all of them are on a very nice wicket and looking after number one is paramount.
We are told that there are about 60 reoffenders in Townsville … that number should be zero but with this awful mob of leaders around 180,000 residents are in fear every day and night.
Shame on this hopeless, uncaring Palaszczuk Government, including the Police Minister Mark Ryan, all high-flying police, and the courts.
Every one of you are responsible for the fear that we all have about going out at night. Even driving a car is scary for a lot of people, especially the women.
To the average citizen the authorities are far too weak, lazy, or let someone else do it attitude at putting in measures to stop the crime; for a start a 9pm curfew every night.
If anyone does not have a valid reason to be roaming the streets after that time straight to the watch-house.
If the 180,000 people trying to live a peaceful fear-free life in Townsville were asked what should be done about the 60plus criminals the vast majority would vote for a long time jail term for all of them.
That would serve two purposes, reduce crime by a massive amount plus it would allow the authorities inside to have ago at putting the culprits in the right direction.
Lets be absolutely honest, living in s---sville, which used to be called Townsville, can be very scary thanks to the most pathetic, diabolic, useless uncaring government of all time and making life so miserable for so many decent hard working people.
Shame on you.
MICHAEL WARREN, Townsville.
