Does anyone know of any statistics of gang related crime in QLD? I have had a brief look but could only find news articles on individual incidences.
Also, pretty much everyone agrees that outlaw gangs are bad, no one is defending them. What people are defending is the erosion of basic human rights in the new laws that have been put forward, and the folly of some of the deterrents.
that is correct of course if it doesnt affect us directly well it isnt doing any harm is it???..
its like giving pedestrians the right of way..everything no matter how big must grind to a halt for someone pushing a pram or whos on crutches..
likewise lets not deal with bikies because it could also infringe on a boy scout troupe..
if some things we try dont work... does that mean we give up trying?????..
what these gangs do or dont do.. is not published I wouldnt think..only if it becomes public by lets say another shooting.

.
I doubt very much that any STate govt would be concerned about these gangs.. without good reason..
Sydney right now is classic..a shooting almost daily..and its all gang related...middle eastern gangs have grown in the last 10 years...and they are BIG trouble.if you dont recognise the extent of guns in the country now..mostly related to bikie gangs..then you havent been watching the daily news..
