But...

Is it just me, or has violent crime escalated scarily over the past year or so in Perth?

It seems that every morning there are reports of armed break-ins, hold-ups etc etc.

Just this week off the top of my head I can recall an 84 year old woman in a nursing home being stabbed in the chest, the manager of a caravan park being beaten and robbed, several armed home invasions, shop owners being threatened with syringes/knives/guns and robbed.

I'm not sure if they're being reported more, or that violence is on the increase. But it's bloody worrying.

Try living in Tottenham London as last night they had a large riot, police cars and buses set a blaze and lots of looting.!! For some reason they did not loot the pound shop ??

They're not her kids, she just looted them from the local nursery!

More likely that she is out looking for their fathers.

Why's that? :confused:

I imagine you're trying to be funny, but I really don't see the joke.

Oh dear. Try getting a sense of humor then you will.

Let me ask you this. If it was a picture of a middle-aged white woman walking down a street with two kids of a more 'well to do' area - would the joke still be relevant?

Would it be late at night and would there be a riot going on?

Well enlighten me Einstein.

Young black mother with two kids walking down the street....'she's probably out looking for their fathers'......nope - I really can't see the joke there.
