Scullin Stabbing

Sheetstirer is right. We should keep using the shops if we want to improve the vibe. Avoiding the place would only make things worse. And thank God the supermarket was open when the injured guy needed help!

Ok, so here it is all you heartless, snob and misinformed.
How would you feel if you were at the bedside of a loved one who had been stabbed like this?
Please if you will just take a moment to fathom the feeling…
I just have a few things to say about this issue;
It doesn’t matter where you live! These things could happen just about anywhere, whether you live in Scullin, Red Hill, Belconnen or Tuggeranong you never know what is around the corner.
To start, ‘Chop71’ do you have a mental disability that prohibits you from writing a comment that is actually constructive? That is one of the most heartless, unnecessary comments i have ever seen. Do yourself a favour and stop posting.
Secondly “housos” that is a phrase that is so archaic. There are plenty of hard working people in this world that just cannot seem to make ends meet whatever they do which means they need to live in a government funded house. What is wrong with that? God forbid you judgemental people ever need help. GROW UP!
Lets hope this young man makes it through, after all he is MY FAMILY!

Maybe this FAMILY member of yours needs to take a good hard look at the people he is associating with? This bloke has already STABBED a person….did you hear me, STABBED a person!!!

You don’t associate with people like that unless you accept that getting stabby is ok, and if that’s the case then your family member must accept responsibility for being STUPID!

Ellipsis (plural ellipses; from the Ancient Greek: ????????, élleipsis, “omission” or “falling short”) is a mark or series of marks that usually indicate an intentional omission of a word in the original text. An ellipsis can also be used to indicate a pause in speech, an unfinished thought, or, at the end of a sentence, a trailing off into silence (aposiopesis). When placed at the end of a sentence, the ellipsis can also inspire a feeling of melancholy longing. The ellipsis calls for a slight pause in speech.

The most common form of an ellipsis is a row of three periods or full stops (…) or a pre-composed triple-dot glyph (…). The usage of the em dash (—) can overlap the usage of the ellipsis. (Source: Wikipedia)

You got that Frots? Let’s get our shit squared away here before the excessive use of dots causes someone to start getting stabby………………..

People avoiding Scullin shops plays a large part in any perceived danger(if there are people around thuggies tend to stay away, I live within 100 metres of the supermarket and have done so for the past 5 years, This is the 1st really serious incident we have seen since moving here. The guy who runs the shop is a young,hard working gentleman who is just trying to provide for himself and his family, I like being able to cut across to the shop for milk or whatever at my convenience. I live here, I feel safe, Shirty Bear- This incident occured at the units adjacent to the shops. The victim attended the store for help.(What if it hadn’t been there?) Save your rash generalisations for something that does not potentially effect other peoples livelihoods.

It’s pretty sad. Especially considering this is the offender’s second stab happy episode in a short period of time.

<==== Same guy.

I am intrigues of the alleged offender is ‘african in appearance’ as to whether he is one of the many we have welcomed to the ACT with open arms in recent years? Sad but the actions of a few can tarnish so many…

You’re intrigued? Why? Did you personally have your arms open in welcome? What a ridiculous comment to make, really. Would it have been less intriguing if the offender was an 8th generation bogan whitey?

People are people. You some who are amazing, some who are scum, and everything in between. You also get examples of each type from different races, genders, religions, ages and sexes.

I’ve lived in and around Scullin for years and have just moved to QBN (Phew?) – all’s I can say is Mr Stab Happy is lucky Denis the Shopguy isn’t still running the 5Star – That man could sort some bogans OUT!

Sadly, I’m quite sure that the reason he sold in the end was that his wee shop was the target of an absurd amount of shoplifters, break-ins and other damage 🙁

Scullin shops is a strange place.

The op shop is good, as is the hair salon. And I don’t mind the old servo lawnmower/French car repair business. But the little supermarket is pretty depressing. I only go in there in an emergency – it always feels as if a robbery is about to happen. There is a strange bakery that seems to have been closed down for ages. Every now and then there is a bit of activity in there, as if it’s about to reopen for business – then nothing. Also there is a weird coffee bean roaster/(?)/wholesaler(?) that has a sort of front counter, but there is never anybody there.

The pizza cafe has recently closed down… I guess they tried, but overcoming the bad location must have been a tough battle. Their pizzas were OK. On the couple of times I went there the wait was way too long. Soon after they opened, the sign in their window said they were going to bake bread, but it never seemed to happen.

All a bit sad really.

The pizza place seems okay, but even they’ve had their windows smashed in several times. Don’t move to Scullin.

theres nothing wrong with scullin apart from the housos. move the housos on, and youve got one of the best suburbs in the city. plenty of nice open space, close to the mall without being too close, and good roads around, not thru it.

and the pizza place is rubbish, “Organic Wholemeal bases” which is code for flavourless tough to chew cardboard.

It’s pretty sad. Especially considering this is the offender’s second stab happy episode in a short period of time.

Can’t wait for the posts on how the stabber:
Is a good bloke
It was an accident
It was self defence as the victim was a hassling him
Is a great Dad/brother/mate
Has mental issues that in no way relate to drug taking

What is happening to Canberra?? Why are there so many bogans lately who act like butthurt brain sucks? I was in the food court at Woden the other day and two guys started having a fight at the table next to me. A full on stand up yell at each other and hit each other fight. WTF? Woden foodcourt?

Where I come from that was just the normal way of saying hello.

And compared to there, Canberra is the garden of Eden. Maybe you are following the local news more than you used to (and probably should)? In a town with 300,000+ people, there’s got to be some nutters lashing out occasionally.

Exactly what I mean. This is crap what’s going on and it’s just escalating…………………………and I don’t understand why.

Anyways………………………………

I too, live a stone’s throw away from the Scullin shops. At 7:15 I decided at the last minute to go Kippax rather than Scullin shops. Pretty sure I catch the bus from the stop across from those apartments. I’m a young person myself, and absolutely sick of some of the people who reside here. I live across the road from two houses that keep me up at night with their antics, loud cars and fighting. I’ve lived here 3 years and am soon to move because nothing is ever done.

All you have is a pub and a Vietnaese eatery in page, and then a crappy Chinese place in Scullin. That ‘5Star’ market isn’t even worth mentioning. The pizza place seems okay, but even they’ve had their windows smashed in several times. Don’t move to Scullin.

its the flats behind the shop. all housos, and junkies

i also live very close to the scullin shops, but like other posters, i dont go there, florey or hawker much better options.

the best way to fix the problem is have the whole complex carpet bombed, around about 10 or 11am, when the residents are most likely to be in bed. hopefully also take out the eyesore that is the old servo and his collection of wrecked citroens

then rebuild the area with a nice park, some new apartments and a new shops complex.

a small statue of a rotting magna and a stolen commodore to remind society of the areas clean up and all will be well.

… having said all that, it turns out the stabbing itself occurred in a unit nearby, and the stabbee made his way to the shops for help. Maybe just as well someone is still trading there :-\

That’s been a dire area for some years now. We live spitting distance (with a firm/gale-force tailwind) away, and *never* go there. Drove past them about an hour before this event, and commented to SWMBO that I can’t understand any shop still trading there, nor any punter going there.

There seemed to be plans for an overhaul some time ago. And they seem to have evaporated. Not certain it would make enough difference anyway.

I just got onto Google Maps and was very surprised to see that Scullin is in fact in Canberra apparently, not New York as I first thought.

I mean………………WTF???

Stay Stabby @ Scullin Shops
