    Once upon a time it was safe to walk or take the tram around the city. Not any more. It’s so sad.

      This feels like a little bit of a leap.

            I don’t think so. I remember people nodding off on trams and trains. I remember the hari kristners begging, the odd dero who’s pissed himself, the drunks. I don’t ever remember the violence that commuters are experiencing today.

              I remember people getting glasses smashed on them outside y&j. I remember drunk cunts getting very fucking rapey around flinders. I remember a lot of queer bashings.

                I get that and things weren’t reported like they are now but I don’t remember cunts wanted to start fights because they’ve been up for 4 days straight.

                the issues are more frequent and moving out further into the suburbs
