Read the two attached articles...from the same news service yet they depict totally differing scenarios.

Thats interesting. Which one is right? Still a cowardly thing to do.
What happened to the old one/ on one, if it has to come to that.

yeah, there was a third version on the news that gave the impression it was two groups of fishermen involved, about the only consistent facts seem to be the weapons and ages, is the grand hotel anywhere near the water?

Grand is on the waterfront. Few jetties/fishing platforms in front of it

And plenty of waterfront apartment style high rise living behind it.
One building is holiday / student lease only so you can imagine the hijinks that occur.

There must be more to this story - reading between the lines - two fishos Full of P155 and getting loud and two w&nkers with violence n their hearts and drugs on them seeing two easy targets. Fault on boths sides - possibly.

It is getting to the point where before you buy a baseball bat, you should be a licensed member of a basball club - and by that I don't mean a bikie gang

Definitely safer out on the water!

I've been living in the Gold Coast and I believe that there are 3 versions of the GC.
a) The bright Tourist/ Holiday GC (potentially dangerous at night)
b) The family communities in the Nth suburbs & hinterland (peaceful & predictable)
c) The natural GC: Broadwater, ocean. and many island hideways (Beautiful and safe)

Where do you want to go today?

Amazing how brave folk are when they're team-handed. How often do you hear on the news of an individual being assaulted by an individual with no other parties involved? Any bust-ups between just two guys with a hand-shake after and an agreement to disagree? Nope!

It seems that nowadays folk only operate mob-handed, and invariably with grog or some other "medicine" involved. Just what is it in out society that many can only prove their prowess by forcing their attitudes on others armed with weapon of choice, which may be something as small as a Stanley knife blade or as big as a semi-trailer, with the matching accessory of mates as back-up?

To my way of thinking it does nothing to prove their 'manliness" but only goes to illustrate their total insecurity at being unable to confront another belligerent armed with nothing other than your wits, a few choice words, and only, as a final resort, a swift kick to your opponents gonads..........

They're simply cowards, wankers, and scum, and unfortunately, it's us, the silent majority, that have allowed our politically correct establishment to spawn 'em..........but let's not lose sight of the main conundrum..........at one time they were someone's little darling who more than likely were prowling the streets at 14 yrs of age when their parents were glued to the box.........."WHAT! not my little Jimmy" they would say when someone would blow down their ear about Jimmy graffitiing the local school or pinching the bike off the kid down the street.

This quote could well apply to our justice system

If things get any worse, I'll have to ask you to stop helping me.

I was always told that labradore was a fairly safe kinda neighbour hood. I regularly head down there and fish from the board walk with a mate.
