FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Minimum mandatory sentences for gun crime will not stop innocent bystanders being caught in the crossfire of a bikie war, Australia’s top criminologist says.
Police concede a bikie turf war is the reason for a recent outbreak of shootings in southeast Queensland, including one that left an innocent woman wounded at a busy Gold Coast shopping centre on Saturday.
But Bond University’s Paul Williams says the real danger is overestimating the amount of crime caused by outlaw motorcycle gangs.
“Generally speaking most bikie violence is between gangs or within gangs,” Professor Wilson told AAP on Monday.
The government has announced extra police resources to fight the gangs and Gold Coast’s new mayor, Tom Tate, wants to use every council building and safety code against them.
Prof Wilson argues minimum mandatory sentences promised by the Liberal National Party (LNP) government will not do anything to reduce gun crime.
“Mandatory sentencing hasn’t reduced crime anywhere that I’m aware of in the country,” he said.
“Any individual who is so motivated to commit a public shooting, as happened at Robina, is hardly going to be deterred or think about what the sentence might be.”
Mr Tate says businesses associated with the gangs will be named and council officers sent to enforce every building and safety regulation.
“It’s our right to feel safe from these outlaw motorcycle gangs in our city, in our homes and in our shopping centres,” he told AAP on Monday.
“I’m not going to put up with these dudes. They’ve crossed the line and we’re going to stitch them up.”
In Saturday’s shooting a 42-year-old man, linked to a bikie gang, was shot in the arm and a 53-year-old woman was caught in the crossfire and shot in the pelvis.
The man – believed to be senior Bandidos member Jacques Teamo – has refused to speak to police since being released from hospital on Sunday.
The gunman managed to elude police as thousands of shoppers ran screaming from the centre or hid.
