And that is all that can be done. We were horrified and our reaction was we don't get this in Australia. Well, now we do. We were horrified this was planned. We were alarmed at the arrogance that you would just go to the airport and use whatever was there to pummel someone to death. Have a brawl. It shows a complete disrespect for who we are and what we want. it was premeditated. It was carried out without considering what others might need or want. Brutal. Cold and brutal. If the response was slow then we are not geared up for this kind of violence and we do not expect it. Onlookers would have been traumatised. It is so against our belief that we can have a country where you don't have to keep looking over your shoulder and feeling unsafe. It is the few again determining how the majority of us should be treated and we shall get what we are prepared to accept.It is part of how we are being increasingly forced to accept whatever a particular group of people wants to foist upon us. We aren't all like that and the sorts of people who behave like that are few. Sydney airport is well run and well organised. I should hate to see us have to tie everything and everyone down...but I guess we'll have to unless we can get onto these things in the planning stage, which is highly unlikely.Sad to say it makes us feel irresponsible and guilty and it makes us feel like we are to blame. Not so.
