Migrant gangs are running amok and terrorising our citizens:
In times past Melbourne, Australia had been known as the ‘world’s most liveable city’. Anyone who thinks that today either does not live here or is woefully blinded by ideology and political myopia. The truth is, Melbourne is quickly becoming a real hell-hole, with a wrecked economy, a tsunami of radical woke agenda items destroying the place, and out-of-control crime with no end in sight.
It is that latter item that has so many people so very concerned. I, like so many others, actually fear going to bed each night, with youth crime – often at the hands of machete-wielding African gangs – terrorising innocent families in their own homes on a daily basis.
You cannot go through a 24-hour period without hearing about yet more terrifying home invasions by these punks – often just teenagers. The daily media reports are enough to make you want to pack your bags and get the heck out of here. I recall one recent story where a woman was awakened in the middle of the night to find five armed and dangerous miscreants surrounding her.
Imagine the terror that must be, especially if you live alone. I know I am extremely concerned every single night. When you live alone, that makes it even worse. If I were still married, perhaps my wife could quickly call the police while I try to deal with being broken into. So many folks are now buying and installing expensive home security systems and cameras in the hopes of fending off some of these diabolical gangs.
But it is not just the 3am car-jackings and breaking into houses. In broad daylight we are seeing gang warfare taking place. Yesterday we had a major shopping centre shut down as terrorised shoppers had to deal with two rival gangs fighting it out in the middle of the mall. One write-up says:
Two teenagers have been charged after a gang fight involving a machete sparked chaos at a popular shopping complex in Melbourne’s north. Emergency services were called to Northland Shopping Centre on Murray Road in Preston about 2.30pm on Sunday after reports of a brawl involving 10 people. The shopping centre was forced into lockdown, with shoppers hiding inside stores while others fled as the terrifying incident unfolded.
And this is NOT a one-off, but has been happening far too often now. Consider just one more recent case of this:
Calls grow for an immediate ban on machetes after a 24-year-old Clyde man has died after being stabbed at Marriott Waters shopping centre in Lyndhurst on Friday night (14 March). Homicide Squad detectives say there were reports of a group of up to 10 males who cornered the victim in the car park about 8.30pm. The man was taken to hospital with serious injuries where he later died.
There are at least four vital things that need to be said here.
The obvious failure of multiculturalism
As I and so many others have said so often now, immigration without assimilation is an invasion. That is exactly what we find happening here. When we allow masses of people into our country who do not respect our laws, do not share our values, and do not care about our culture, and often refuse to even learn our language, you are asking for – and getting – trouble.
We see this not only in Melbourne, but in other Australian cities, as well as in the US, in the UK, in Europe, and elsewhere. Allowing in floods of overseas’ migrants who refuse to embrace the host culture and what it stands for is simply an invitation to mayhem and destruction. That is just what is happening here in Melbourne. And most folks are getting really fed up with it all.
And the usual response by our brainless secular left governments is to ban things, be they guns or knives or machetes. As if criminal gangs are overly concerned about obeying such laws. The only ones who suffer then are law-abiding citizens who are increasingly being stripped of the means to defend themselves and their families. Huge win for the gangs, big loss for you and me.
Coddling criminals
Of course our weak as water criminal justice system has a lot to answer for. Decades of indoctrination into how there is no good and evil, and no crime and punishment, but just illness and therapy, now means far too many politicians, judges, courts and even some police think that going softly softly with criminals is the way to proceed. ‘They had a rough childhood so they need our compassion and care, not tough love and jail terms.’
Recall that both Dan Andrews and Jacinta Allan are members of the Labor Party’s socialist left faction. These are the folks who make excuses for criminals and crime while punishing the victims of crime. They are far more concerned about being “tolerant” and “understanding” toward migrant gangs – whether from Somalia, Sudan, or elsewhere – than they are about the welfare and protection of their own citizens.
Many have written about this inversion of priorities and values by so many Western governments. Long ago C. S. Lewis warned about the “humanitarian theory of punishment” wherein justice is destroyed because we treat criminals as those who need a ‘cure’ instead of those needing their just deserts: https://billmuehlenberg.com/2016/11/21/crime-no-punishment/
Our revolving-door “justice” system
The truth is, law without consequence is mere advice. When we time and time again let criminals escape most or all punishment, guess what? They will keep committing crimes. That is exactly what we find here and elsewhere. Here is the formula: a gang of thugs commit horrific crimes. They are arrested. They get bailed out of jail because of easy bail laws. They reoffend. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.
So many of these teenage crims have committed many dozens of crimes. Our non-existent justice system and our bleeding-heart leftist judges let them go with a slap on the wrist, and they return immediately to their criminal activities. There is NO deterrence. There is NO reason for them to stop.
Just one case in point, out of so many: “A machete wielding man who triggered a police shooting in South Melbourne, is tonight back on the streets after being given bail. 7NEWS has obtained pictures of the moment a getaway driver struck an officer, prompting him to open fire.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_O5k-TYgDc
But I keep hearing these folks – be they judges or politicians or media sycophants – telling us we cannot be harsh on them and lock them away, because they are just teenagers, and we ‘don’t want to turn them into career criminals.’ Listen Jack, when these guys do the same things 50, 70, or 100 times, they ALREADY ARE career criminals. Lock ‘em up, or send them back to where they came from.
The urgent need for deportations
Trump certainly has it right to seek to get violent gang members, criminals, child and drug traffickers out of the country pronto, and deported back to their own countries. Let them run amok there, and not in America. That is just what we need to do here.
These repeat offenders who have zero respect for our citizens, our laws, and our way of life should be put on the first available plane and sent home. Let them terrorise and kill their fellow citizens, and not ours. ‘Oh, but that is just heartless Trumpism,’ woke critics will whine.
Sorry, but there are plenty of other leaders besides Trump who are now doing – or trying to do – this very thing. Consider what so many European nations are now doing, having finally woken up to the massive immigration mess they have created for themselves:
Denmark and eight other countries blasted the European Court of Human Rights for imposing limits on deporting criminal migrants on Sunday. Denmark, which is set to take over the presidency of the European Union in July, published a letter demanding more leeway to expel immigrants who commit crimes. Leaders of Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Italy, and Poland signed the letter with Denmark.
“Many have come here via legal pathways. They have learned our languages, believe in democracy, contribute to our societies and have decided to integrate themselves into our culture. Others have come and chosen not to integrate, isolating themselves in parallel societies and distancing themselves from our fundamental values of equality, democracy and freedom,” the letter read.
“In particular, some have not contributed positively to the societies welcoming them and have chosen to commit crimes. It is beyond our comprehension how some people can come to our countries and get a share in our freedom and our vast range of opportunities, and, indeed, decide to commit crimes,” the letter continues.
The Danes have a well-deserved reputation as one of the most liberal nations in Europe. Yet today Denmark is rightly regarded as the toughest country on migration, with a zero tolerance policy towards illegal asylum seekers and equally strict laws on integration….
The Danish migration model is the toughest in Europe. Residence permits are seldom granted for more than one or two years. Language and dress are strictly controlled: applicants must promise to learn Danish and pass a test within six months – or face expulsion.
The “ghetto law” allows the authorities to forcibly move migrants living in “parallel societies” and even to demolish social housing in these areas. Convicted criminals are automatically excluded from citizenship. The nightmare of an “island of strangers” has been lifted by a Prime Minister who does not talk but acts. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/05/24/denmark-act-against-migration-and-preserve-its-culture/
Those are fully sensible first steps to reclaiming their countries. But they will need to deal with the other issues I raised here. Runaway immigration needs to be curtailed big time, and the multicultural cult needs to be radically rethought. And the criminal justice system needs a massive overhaul.
When you have so many European cities now containing ethnic ghettos and no-go zones, where even police and fire fighting services are terrified to enter, then you know we have a massive problem on our hands. Countless examples of this can be discussed here.
As just one case in point, have a look at this short video where migrants in France were attacking police and driving them out of their area. It is shocking to watch, but it is happening far too often in so many European cities: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/H4SGsGMQ1jM
Just yesterday I spoke to a group of people who wanted me to share on the issue of cultural Marxism. So I discussed things like the Frankfurt School. Decades ago members had recommended, among other things, the following:
-The creation of racism offences
-Huge immigration to destroy identity
-An unreliable legal system with bias against victims of crime
-Dependency on the state or state benefits
-Control and dumbing down of media
-Emptying of churches
-Encouraging the breakdown of the family
Melbourne, like most of the West, is in a really bad way. If things do not turn around soon, I greatly fear for the future. And yes, I will keep locking and double locking my doors and windows when I go to bed each night.
Update
“Accused ringleaders of Northland machete brawl were on bail. Two boys who allegedly started the terrifying fight that placed Northland shopping centre into lockdown were on bail at the time of the attack.” (Herald Sun)
Oh really? Such a surprise!
Excellent piece Bill. A copy needs to go to every politician in the land.
Thanks Alec.
Well said.
9/10 incidents are by…. moslems.
