Shannon Meilak - Advocate<p>This week I wrote to <a href="https://aus.social/tags/bencarroll" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bencarroll</span></a>, following up on my previous email, regrading the increasing violence in our neighbourhood. I hope this time he acknowledges the genuine fear of his constituents and isn't too busy now as Deputy Premier, to acknowledge us.</p><p>"Dear Mr Carroll,</p><p>I write to you today to follow up on my correspondence dated 30.09.23 and attached below. As of today, I have still not received a reply from you with regards to the traumatising incident, that occurred in Keilor. Many are still trying to cope with the events of that day, but worse still, since I wrote to you we have experienced a second shooting; which happened to occur just two streets away from where I live, and the fatal hit and run of a 16 year old boy in Taylors Lakes.<br>Residents are terrified! We rightfully want to know what our government is doing to protect us and our families and it is unfathomable to me, that you have remained silent on the issue and failed to reach out, or even acknowledge residents impacted by these violent attacks in our suburban streets. Are you now too busy to address your own constituents?</p><p>I sincerely hope that you consider meeting with these impacted communities as I originally invited you to do, but at the very least, I hope to receive a reply from you this time.</p><p>Regards,<br>Shannon Meilak"</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/community" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>community</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/stoptheviolence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>stoptheviolence</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/neighbourhoodviolence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>neighbourhoodviolence</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/communitywelfare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>communitywelfare</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/melbswest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>melbswest</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/vicpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vicpol</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/gangs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gangs</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/violence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>violence</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/streetviolence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>streetviolence</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/guns" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>guns</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/keilor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>keilor</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/brimbank" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>brimbank</span></a></p>
Cassana<p>"People always wanna know the reason for what they consider senseless violence in the hood. I'ma break it down for you."<br>Somebody brought up This Is Why We Ride by Body Count, and it's made me think about <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/StreetViolence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StreetViolence</span></a> and its surrounding discourse. “Senseless violence” is an outsider judgement that does not consider insider lived experiences, plus expresses the belief there is no solution nor responsibility on their part. I think the spoken section in the middle is particularly powerful. Stylistically it reminds me very much of RATM, but more <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/metal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>metal</span></a> (though not really that heavy as things go).
