Glassing attacks in Australia

Still on the subject of anti-social behaviour, the phenomenon of glassing is really disturbing. Here's the latest example: Some poor bloke had his face slashed in the Ambar nightclub in Perth.

Of course this is not an isolated incident. It's happening alarmingly often all over Australia. I heard of many such incidents when I was in Sydney, too. It's almost as if the phenomenon is contagious!

Events like this were rare as hens' teeth when I was growing up. It's a completely different social environment out there now. There are heaps more angry young blokes with no capacity for restraint, and a nightclub culture that celebrates binge drinking.

It's a real worry.
