SOoooooooooooooooooooooo I'm going to be the guys that starts the heated topic about the Bourke street incident yesterday.
I'm connected to the event on two angles:
1. Had two colleagues narrowly missed. We work on Lt Bourke and they returned obviously shaken
2. I have a 3 month old daughter. So every thing I think about it I cannot help thinking about my Ava being taken away like that.
My blood then reaches boiling point when I read things like "There is an extensive family violence history involved" and "He has been coming to our attention more recently over recent days in relation to assaults, family violence-related assaults."
This point towards a failing justice and rehabilitation system. But then, I read about the fact he was on bail, for a violent and psychotic attack on an older bloke over the weekend.
And how if he going to be made accountant for the death and injuries of everyone yesterday?
How broken is our system, when a judge lets someone out after an assault like that, and with a strong history of re-offending and violent unstable behaviour?

What moronic judge, based on that violent assault, made the call that "Jimmy" was safe to release into the community?He said he came into his flat with a Bible, sat down and started burning it before throwing the burning book into his face.
"I flicked it onto the floor then he stood up and punched me," Mr Wilson said.
He said Mr Gargasoulas then attacked him. "Give me your keys or I'll gouge your eyes out," Mr Gargasoulas allegedly demanded.
