It is disappointing to hear of incidents that can throw a community into turmoil. The stupid actions of 'Minors' can disadvantage the lives of the elderly, disabled and honest young community members - to think that 5 people had been involved in smashing 3 windows of a Westbus 775 bus run.
Questions appear in my mind. Who and why - well the who is not necessarily important but why? Is it boredom? it is no thing better to do? Is it thrilling to cause potential hurt and harm to drivers and or passengers on bus buses?
What constitutes an single individual to do such things? Should the penalty fit the crime in these circumstances? Does the penalty fit the crime? When these people are caught are they provided with the bill to replace the windows or even the bill that may cause hurt, even death?
Answers: when in was young there was no such thing of rock throwing. I have suggested years ago to my local state member details of what should happen and the underlying thing that comes up is: that creates extra cost and who pays for it? More questions.
I thought someone could invent windows that bounce the rock back onto the offender casing little harm!
I thought that every bus should be fitted with hidden cameras on the outside that would catch these little offenders doing the crime - making it easier for police to charge offenders.
I thought that bus could have hidden water spouts and when these offenders seem to want to create hysteria and this crime a sudden powerful water jet of water is aimed and poured onto the offender - leaving the offender wet with something to think about!
I also thought that unmarked police cars should be positioned in various rock throwing areas ( unbeknown to the community) ready to catch the potential offender.
I personally feel sorry for the residents living in Swallow Drive , Erskine Park and offer our support to the community if they require it - at present we don't have a group members living in Erskine Park!
