Sorry to hear this Julie. You must have been brave when they put your shoulder back in. I've seen this done with 2 nurses and a tea towel and it looked a bit brutal. The world is changing as we all know. Crime will increase so we have to expect this kind of crap.If nothing else it will make you more aware. Not a bad thing in itself.
Get well soon

Can't the government see this?

I'm inclined to agree with you there JBR.
Those than are able bodied enough, will sort it out themselves.

I know that funding for the police has been heavily reduced (another short-sighted political decision, of course), but this lack of support cannot continue. If it does, I can foresee public opinion resulting in the government of the day losing its seats in parliament.

I don't think that is the case in Australia.
Is it crime in general, crime involving violence, corporate crime, property crime .... ?
I'm always intrigued by tales of the 'good old days'.
Much that never then saw the light of day now is splashed across newspapers, TV screens and the internet.
And if JBR is right and vigilante gangs takeover, how many innocents might suffer and how much 'overkill' might occur ?
Pure anarchy, mate.
