I remember working at the old Sun Micro building next to the govvie flats and seeing a junkie try to rob a young man, who proceeded to beat the snot out of him. I don’t have much sympathy for those who hold up people in the street.

Daylight robbery – the junkie killing zone strikes again! What is an electric pulse device? A taser?
