Gold Coast - WTF!
Seriously, what the **** is going on at the Gold Coast? There's an armed hold up ever other night and now a poor copper has paid for it with his life.
I've always thought it was a shit hole, but it's getting pretty ordinary.
It's giving the Great South East a bad name.

I believe it's due to the drainage issues at Helensvale.

Just a guess, with no data to support it, the only two industries that provided gainful employment, building units and tourism have probably nose dived, but Helensvale's drainage issues sound good also. Maybe everyone's moved there from Ipswich.

Come on bro. You live in the big smoke these days. Ipswich jibes are no where near as much fun any more. Quite selfish on your behalf.

I actually is quite widely regarded as a crime hotspot. But this has never changed... Always been a shithole really, they added lights and people came to party-holiday. At some point people got confused and started thinking it was a nice family holiday spot. In reality the streets have always been laden with criminals, drugs and violence. Crooked cops and the state Blind eye treatment helped also. It's been on the gradual improve over the last 15years. Seems of late it has return to its former self.

Poidda,
Not sure if you are on Facebook, but the QPS feed is just depressing of late, and it's certainly not restricted to the GC.
Fatal accidents, stabbings, robberies. Really opens your eyes to what a shitful society we're turning into.

3 armed robberies a week, which has ultimately led to a police officer being shot in the head with a shotgun, doesn't exactly make a place Fraggle Rock either!
And why Afghanistan? Surely a few terrorists doesn't make a place WWII.
You really do say some moronic things sometimes. Have some respect for a killed policeman. Next you'll be saying he was asking for it as much as the women gangbanged by NRL players ask for it. Idiot.

I did see it Henny Penny, however saying that the world is a far better place than it was does not equate to "bad things don't happen". I can't be bothered anymore, feel free to depress yourselves.

we need Sgt Donger back. If the crooks paid their fees like they used to there would be no issues.
I blame Fitzgerald.

You're a precious little man aren't you ?
Please keep your personal insults to yourself. If you choose to post on a public forum, your precious little being should possibly learn how to deal with opinions different to ones precious selfs own.
2 guys got killed yesterday, did you raise a thread about that ?
And your football analogy highlights how ridiculous your behaviour can be. I assume you also don't accept when people hint that you could be wrong, do you cry ?

My opinion
It's shocking that a police officer was killed in duty on the Gold Coast. Crime seems out of control.
Your opinion
Warzone in Afghanistan is the same as a pub in Gold Coast.
Meh, so what if a copper got killed. Two soldiers got killed at war yesterday.
can I quote myself?

Actually, can you explain this? The "One death" being a police officer in our backyard. I'm at a loss as to what this can mean without it being so disrespectful.

I blame soccer fans (i.e. violent soccer hooligans) for the problems on the GC.
I can't believe I'm defending 3, but why the big sook poidda? Stating that 1 death doesn't make a place a warzone is hardly offensive.

Sorry my bad. Maybe the death is just another number.

From all accounts armed robberies aren't that much more than previous years, just seem to be in the media more often.

Or maybe it was a genuine question - 1 death, however tragic, doesn't turn a place into a shithole. As you correctly pointed out, it's that plus all the other crap happening there that adds up to the place being a shithole.
No need to imply that the guy is disrespecting a dead policeman.
