Earlier this year, I was at a Hyde Park in northbridge with some chinese friends of mine during chinese new years'. Big event, heaps of families there sitting on the grass. Midway through the lion dance, A couple of viets sprint through the middle of the park, and hack another vietnamese guy to death with machetes- in front of several hundred onlookers. You try not be racist (hell, if I was that much of a Pauline Hansonite, I wouldn't have been hanging around with chinese friends, now, would I?) but things like that do color your feelings. As usual, its just a case of a few bad apples creating a negative stereotype for the rest.
There are some clubs in Northbridge where I would never go on certain nights, simply because they're frequented by crazy vietnamese gangsters, who pick a fight with anyone who looks at them, carry knives, and fight dirty. I'm guessing the situation in Melb is similar if not worse.

If there are revenge attacks, the situation will only escalate to a very bad state. There used to be a war between some Vietnamese or Asian gangs here where members of one gang got attacked, the other gang retaliated, and so on up to the point where it's bascially like running street battles in Northbridge all the time. It's going thru a quite period now, but it's kinda like an uneasy quite period where you know something will happen soon.
A lot of confrontations around the Eastern suburbs seem to involve Viets and Cambodians. VID (Viets In Disguise) is one main gang. I've heard some stories about attacks at parties from friends... A lot of the stuff is ***-for-tat..... Bloody scary stuff.....

Very horrific. Maybe it was just over one of the gang members hitting on some guys girlfriend. It doesnt always have something to do with drugs.

This is another reason why im glad i live in Adelaide. There arent many crazy psycho gangs in Adelaide.
I find gangs just to be a whole bunch of gutless wonders who cant fight properly. Only reason they carry around knives and axes and swords or whatever is because they know they would get their arses kicked in a real fight.

Anyone that needs a weapon to fight in my eyes are simply gutless

Exactly. Its got to be some social defect - anyone who feels the need to carry weapons obviously has some real issues.

I agree completely, and it's even more gutless and cowardly to use weapons of any kind on unarmed people.
