Happy families …adventures in the wild west
Neighbourhood disputes sure are exciting out in Bonnyrigg - part of Green Valley, near Liverpool and Fairfield, which is real “westie” territory, large tracts of public housing.
Police said a group of people were in the rear of a house in Stubbs Place, Bonnyrigg, about 8pm yesterday when a group of about 15 men approached the house and started throwing rocks and sticks at it, calling for the occupants to come to the front. A woman in the house said:
“I heard a commotion out in the alleyway and I saw three or four guys run down and then two seconds later I heard Asian swearing words and I was just locking the back door and a bullet went through,”
Police said the matter had escalated from a relatively minor incident. According to the (un-named) woman, the dispute had gone back at least three months, from when her youngest son was involved in a brawl with men from the house on Stubbs Place and was struck with a piece of wood.
Again, according to police:
“I’ve asked all the families involved to consider that this matter is now with the police. It is no longer some neighbourhood dispute.
“Friends of one or either of both camps have taken it on themselves to escalate this [but now] they have seen common sense and they have said they will now leave it police.”
Sure, everyone believes that, don’t they? I await the next round when the police lose interest over the current kerfuffle.
Due to the volatile nature of the dispute and the report of shots being fired, the riot squad was called as detectives began investigating the shooting.
Pretty impressive, hey! Having the riot squad turn out to a domestic squabble. Seems to be all the rage out in the choice bogan suburbs like Bonnyrigg, Macquarie Fields etc …no doubt also the likes of Airds, Claymore, Minto, Mt Druitt, and their equivalents in other cities.

Leave them be and let them deal with their problems in their own way…. eventually they’ll all kill each other. I’m fed up with seeing our resources wasted by these people.
I think the answer is to do away with all public housing estates. Putting all these type of people together is only asking for trouble.
