WTF - Sydney a war zone lately

Just seems to me the cities on the brink of something.

Drive by shootings. Sydney drive-by shooting rampage - National - smh.com.au

600 in a pub brawl. Hotel brawl justifies new pub laws: Rees : thewest.com.au

14 year olds with guns shooting accidentally their mate. Rosemary Cruickshank: 'Don't touch my son Josef's alleged killer' | The Australian

They say 2am lock out for pubs and drinks only served in plastic cups after 12midnight, are you bastids like barbarians or something!

No wonder people are leaving to go to Adelaide.

It started a long time ago, now it's because they've cut the trading hours back. Just a little blue: Police break up 600 in Sydney brawl - Yahoo!7 News

I dunno, when I was a young fella most clubs shut at 1.30am ... then they got extended to like 3am ... then in came 6am and 24 hour licences (Adelaide I'm talking).

Now we're going backwards, closing and having lockouts, plastic cups etc. Maybe the Y generation is overly frustrated and on edge.

Too much time & too much money most of them.

10pm closing was enough for me, [too much really] but I had to be up at 5.30 to cut & load timber all day. Now I think I was lucky, didn't do me any harm that's for sure.
