As we’ve just seen in the UK, a black man has gone on a stabbing rampage on a train, just days after an Afghan migrant stabbed an English man to death while walking his dog.
The UK’s Online Safety Act, of which Australia is soon to get a version of, was preventing the public mentioning that it was a black male, and the UK’s self-defence laws banned anyone on the train from doing anything about tangible about it.
Australia is on the same trajectory as the UK, although they’re arguably closer to civil conflict than their southern hemisphere cousins. Halloween saw Africans in Melbourne trying to stab people out trick or treating while two teens allegedly tried to knife a man and his girlfriend out in Belgrave. But don’t worry, Victoria has people singing at Oasis concerts and some nice banh mi (which were never possible without French colonisation in Vietnam) in Footscray.
We also currently have an escalating organised crime war across Sydney, which involves Lebanese, Vietnamese and Islander gangs and their associates. Meanwhile, boomer civic nationalist Malcolm Roberts is praising this kind of behaviour with a recent speech at the March For Australia rally in Brisbane saying that all of these wonderful cultural groups get to stay forever and have contributed to Australia’s cultural mosaic.
But yeh, vote One Nation guys, they’re heckin’ serious about *checks notes* slightly reducing migration and running Indian candidates.
In the context of the above, the topic of self-defence and the lack of options for the average Australian to deal with violent crime, has again been pushed to the forefront of the national consciousness.
Australians are perhaps the most propagandised nation when it comes to the realities of self-defence, particularly on firearms and “America”. There’s still a segment of the populace that thanks John Howard for leaving them defenceless in the wake of escalating crime, and at the same time decries the importation of Africans that he also was responsible for.
John’s on the way out and like so many of the boomers and Generation X he doesn’t care about Australia’s descent into anarcho-tyranny. He enjoyed the golden era of Australia and it’s someone else’s problem to deal with i.e. the young that still have to live here.
The current state of affairs for the casual observer in Australia is basically everything is banned for self-defence and defending yourself in any situation will get you dragged before the courts – ask Ben Batterham. It’s not much better for the police, particularly if you end up like Zac Rolfe and happen to justifiably shoot a protected species trying to kill you.
On top of that, you have a hostile media class demonising the thought of taking matters into your own hands, rather than the regime-approved method of outsourcing everything to a public servant who won’t arrive in time. Throw in a court system that is actively releasing violent criminals onto the streets, from the High Court with NZYQ down to the local magistrate’s court, and you have a catastrophe.
The current day to day for every police officer is arresting the same people for the same offences, only for the judges to let them out to do it all again – hence why recruiting numbers are way down. Defund the Police has become Demoralise the Police.
The Noticer has further reported on the role of Ari Frieberg and the Sentencing Advisory Council in Victoria’s justice system (there’s been nil mention of this from Tom Elliott/Ben Fordham and the Gen X whingers at Nine), and I suspect Australia is experiencing a similar debacle that the USA has with the George Soros sponsored District Attorney scandal.
When they aren’t concocting reasons to put Australians in jail for protesting the front door invasion of the country, the AFP is currently telling Australians to “Escape, Hide, Tell” when they’re on the wrong end of some crazed knifeman.
In response, petitions for Castle Law have been introduced in several Australian states. While Castle Law is a good start, the reality is you don’t get to choose where you’ll be attacked. I hope these are successful, but realistically we need more than Castle Law. Castle Law isn’t enough – defending your castle is useless if you don’t have an armoury you can draw on to defend it with.
First of all, the usual suite of self-defence tools needs to be available. Pepper spray is legal in WA and being trialled in the NT which are positive, but there’s no good reason this should be restricted at all. The argument that criminals might get them is just absolutely facile, you only have to look at the current state of the machete ban in Victoria to know that criminals have whatever they want.
I am supportive of firearms for self-defence, the main issue affecting that is the imported demographics that are untrustworthy with them. I have personally witnessed the situation in two Australian states, where Chinese who do not speak a word of English are somehow getting firearm licences and apparently also understanding SSAA range rules and laws pertaining to guns. This is a huge national security issue if migrants are getting guns, particularly from one country we’re going to try and start a war with.
Apart from that, if someone can meet the same standard as the police (ie. a week on the range and a couple of background checks) then that should be acceptable as a reason to carry concealed – that’s the absolute minimum standard where I personally draw the line in 2025.
The death penalty also needs a comeback for serious crimes. The death penalty to me is about justice, not so much deterrence. Its opponents generally cherry-pick some outlier cases where a potential innocent person has been executed, which are usually based off of a handful of studies in the 70s and earlier when DNA matching was in its infancy and digital surveillance was not as good as it is now.
No one across the political spectrum is offering this, just platitudes about tougher sentencing and more police. Neither are any of the minor parties. The Libertarian Party certainly don’t support the death penalty, which is why they aren’t worth the time of day on this issue. (they’re quite okay with you killing someone in self-defence though, but state executions for serious criminal convictions bad because reasons).
However, all of the above is for naught when the current problem is largely imported. The best solution available is remigration, otherwise we’ll just go around in a circle towards the drain of South Africa 2.0.
Deporting entire diasporas will solve many problems, least of all crime and foreign interference. The endless, needless cycle of the police having to waste time and money and form specialised crime units to deal with imported colonies will also be broken.
Some of the migrant offenders require deportation from the planet, but most of the low hanging fruit can be solved with a plane ticket – they’re another country’s issue to deal with, definitely not ours despite the wailings of refugee NGOs who believe Sudanese rapists should be free to roam the streets.
Currently, the African crime problem is the lowest hanging fruit of all, but instead of deporting the diaspora, we have weak men like Brad Battin saying we need to turn the state into some kind of airport security hub and give metal detectors to police.
For the cost of a few plane tickets, we can solve a lot of the violent crime mess or live with the forever burden.
Managed decline is purely a choice, and with every foreigner swinging a machete without consequence when there are several easy options to deal with it, you’re seeing what is being deliberately decided for you.
