No one is going to make an excuse for gang violence. There's no feasible way to excuse such a thing. It not just results in death and injury, but it also terrorizes ordinary citizens in ways that should never happen.

In Australia, they recently had an incident where two gangs battled with machetes in a shopping mall. First, I was surprised to see there were enough people at a mall to have a gang battle, but then there was the nature of the fighting.

If the circumstances call for it, I am prepared to beat someone to death with a live wombat.

Well, wombat is the only word that rhymes with combat!

What if someone comes at me with a pointed stick?

We could take over with a spoon

So many good lines over the years.

Stupid is as stupid does and this is just plain stupid. Cutting through the jungle will be interesting with a butter knife. At least until they are outlawed too.

Like the UK, they will eventually move on to rock and sharp stick control without ever figuring out why its not working.

Of all the places in the world to ban the machete, seems like Australia would be the lowest on the list.

One of my favorite lines from the tv show My Name is Earl. Someone is holding a rock and Earl asks what’s up with the rock. The person answers. If I mug someone with a rock, it’s a mister meaner, if I use a knife or gun, it’s a felony.

If somebody gets kicked/stomped to death will they ban footwear?

Australia thought it was a good thing to import third world African tribal trash. Melbkurne has fallen. The natives have always been violent but kept to their own. The Africans are horrible.
