It seems that every night people are shot to death by cops because they dare to raise a glass of beer to their lips or drink bottles of vodka in the streets. Sydney has become a hellish warzone populated by the corpses of those who just want to get a bit of a crunk on.
The reason that we’ve suddenly had such a massive crackdown on drinking, pubs and clubs? Turns out the police commissioner, Andrew Scipione, is teetotal:
Do you enjoy a glass of beer yourself, or are you a teetotaller?
Teetotal. I always have been. My parents were teetotallers; they just never drank, so I’ve never drunk. My children, they drink – that’s OK. My wife will have an occasional glass of wine.
Apart from the fact that the link is from the stomach churningly earnest “Catholic Weekly” the point still remains. This guy does not understand Australian drinking culture because he’s never been a part of it, and attacking it from the outside with draconian methods is an assault on freedom that completely undermines both the inherent right of people to do what they want with their bodies, and the freedom of enterprise (and property) of bar owners. The police can, for any reason and without any warning, enter the premises of a place serving alcohol and harass the patrons wantonly. The police can bring in specially trained dogs to sniff for drugs and harass people who are simply trying to have a good evening for no reason other than the government doesn’t like this particular sequence of chemicals.
The other night I went with two fellow patriots of this blog to a shitty dance party at Manning Bar called “Snowball”. There were, and I am not kidding, about 20 uniformed police officers at the event, along with drug dogs. On a thursday night a good percentage of the Sydney policing force was taken up trying to babysit a bunch of kids who were just going to party around. Oh no a few might have taken Ecstacy oh that’s terrible we should send WAVE AFTER WAVE OF MEN AT THEM TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.
95% of sexual assaults in NSW go unsolved/unpunished/unreported. Assaults are not dealt with in Sydney on a thursday, friday and saturday night. The police are nowhere to be seen in George st, and they’re less helpful if you’ve been mugged or robbed or just punched in the face because someone thought you were looking at them funny.
The reasoning? Lack of manpower.
Because EVERY FUCKING COP IS TOO BUSY WATCHING A BUNCH OF KIDS WHO WOULDN’T BE STUPID ENOUGH TO BRING DRUGS TO THE FUCKING PLACE BECAUSE THEY KNOW THE SNIFFER DOGS WILL BE THERE. THEY WILL JUST TAKE THEIR DRUGS OUTSIDE THEN GO IN.
Jesus fucking christ I hate this country.
