      wolf cafe firebombed this week in Millers Junction Altona.

      I remember that cafe was a Covid hot spot, back when contact tracing was a thing.

          Yeah they all seem to have no idea why they were targeted and say it’s a case of mistaken identity. Oh sure. Well, at least you know which coffee shops to avoid so you don’t accidentally get molotoved while getting a latte.

      its trash taking out trash right? So long as no ones getting caught in the crossfire. Which they are smart enough not to do since they know thats gonna trigger a presser from the premier and vicpol announcing a new taskforce.

        Aren’t they burning the places that refuse to peddle their dodgy cigarettes though? Which means every one of these fires has hurt a business that wants nothing to do with them.

          I dont know enough about the story TBH, I thought it was gang on gang so if so I take back my cavalier attitude towards it.

            I could be completely wrong too. My knowledge of gangs and related criminal activity is extremely limited. In any case fire is a very bad way of dealing with it.

            Maybe we should campaign for the reintroduction of formal duels, so that criminals can kill each other in a calm and controlled environment that does not put the general public at risk. Although that could encourage betting on the results, and gambling tends to lead to more organized crime involvement, so maybe that would just make the problem worse.

      There’s been heaps more than that. Some kind of turf war between illegal tobacco crooks. If it wasn’t for the risk to public, I really wouldn’t care if they burned each other out of existence.
