Spirit of Lawlessness at Work

Andrew Bolt asks:


What on earth is going on?


Sydney:


POLICE were forced to shut down a rowdy carol service in Sydney last night after an officer Tasered an 18-year-old who punched him in the face.


Patrolling officers were required to assist when a number of altercations broke out at a Carols by Candlelight function at Five Dock, attended by about 4,000 people on Monday evening.


Melbourne:


VANDALS have attacked one of Melbourne’s most-loved Christmas icons, smashing part of Myer’s traditional window display…


The incident is just the latest in a string of vandal attacks on Christmas displays, with some councils and companies spending thousands to employ security guards to protect decorations… (T)he Christmas tree in the City Square on Swanston St and the two giant baubles in Docklands are protected day and night by security guards.


Bendigo:


On Sunday, despite a security guard being on duty, vandals in Ballarat managed to burn down the city’s big Christmas tree, causing an estimated $60,000 damage.
