Nope, these things happened...  just like they do on a daily basis in

almost any suburb.

LOL.  I dunno where RobH lives, but I've been living in the southern

end of Reynella for the last 30 years (In case you don't have a map,

the southern end of Reynella abuts the northern end of Morphett vale -

the suburb in question). I can assure you that the residents here are

not all cowering in their homes fearful of "roving teenage kids".

Sure we have small groups of kids roaming the streets getting up to

mischief, but again, it is no worse than any other suburb.  You make

it sound like its a war zone out here...  just like the media.



 DL> unleashed and fullof shit just like her ...you don't even know what

 DL> is going on in the southern suburbs....Today Tonite knows more than

 DL> you about white kids.



Hmm, maybe I should stop looking out my window, stop going shopping,

stop going out to the pubs and nightclubs in the area, and watch TT

instead. Maybe then I'll find out what is REALLY going on outside my

own frontdoor eh?



Tell me Dianne... do you have a life, or is your view of the world

totally blinkered by the media, 'cos it sure seems that way.



Cheers,

Rod
