Preamble:
Recently, an attack in Melbourne's city centre attracted widespread attention, when two Chinese schoolgirls were racially abusively abused and assaulted by a Westerner man while performing on the streets of Melbourne's CBD. Shockingly, not long ago, another similar attack occurred in the heart of Melbourne, where a Chinese woman was pushed down by a Westerner man for no apparent reason. The occurrence of these bad incidents is not only outrageous, but also arouses public concern and concern about urban law and order.
Melbourne's CBD has a long-standing problem with policing
As one of Australia's most vibrant and liveable cities, Melbourne has always attracted visitors and international students from all over the world with its multicultural and relaxed atmosphere. However, in recent years, the law and order problem in Melbourne's city centre has been criticized.
According to Australian crime data, Melbourne's central city is the area with the highest number of crimes, with the highest number of property and fraud crimes. The emergence of this phenomenon may mean that the security problem in Melbourne's CBD has existed for a long time, and it also highlights that the security situation in the area is still serious.
In this context, the occurrence of bad incidents has undoubtedly sounded the alarm bell for people, and also caused more worries and doubts about the law and order situation in Melbourne's city center.
In addition, the issue of racial discrimination in Melbourne's city centre has also been a matter of concern, and there have been a number of violent incidents caused by racial discrimination, which has brought great panic and distress to the local Chinese and international student groups. The recurrence of such a vicious incident will undoubtedly further exacerbate the unrest of the local Chinese community and pose a serious challenge to the promotion and development of Australia's multiculturalism.
The impact of online swearing on the victim
In response to the attack, many people expressed their indignation and solidarity on social platforms, calling on the police to solve the case as soon as possible and severely punish the perpetrators. However, what makes people feel chilling and helpless is that some netizens have made groundless accusations and attacks on the victims in the comment area, and even spread all kinds of false information to smear the victims, which is sad and has a negative impact on the rescue and support in reality.
Nowadays, under the influence of online violence and speech bombardment, the pressure and harm suffered by victims may be several times higher than that of the original attack, which also sounds the alarm bell for people, makes people deeply reflect on the impact of online scolding on victims, and also reminds us to keep our eyes open, not to easily believe and spread the words on the Internet, but also to give victims enough understanding and support, and jointly maintain social fairness and justice.
Safety in the busiest parts of the city
It is worth noting that both the first and second attacks took place in a bustling part of the city such as Melbourne's city centre.
As the "golden mile" of the city, the city center is not only a popular place for tourists and citizens to go for leisure and shopping, but also brings together various cultures and people, carrying the diverse charm and vitality of the city. However, the frequent occurrence of bad incidents has cast a shadow over such places, and has also raised concerns about the safety of so-called "busy areas".
On the one hand, it is necessary to strengthen police and security measures to stop all kinds of illegal and criminal acts in a timely manner, and on the other hand, it is also necessary for citizens and tourists to participate together to protect the safety of the city and make it a paradise that everyone yearns for.
Therefore, in the face of the long-term existence of the security problem in Melbourne's CBD, we cannot sit idly by, but devote ourselves to the construction of public security in the city with a positive attitude, play our own role, and hope that through such efforts, we can stimulate more people's attention to public security issues, become participants and guardians of urban security construction, and jointly create a harmonious and livable urban environment.
Epilogue:
In the face of the occurrence of bad events, we must not choose to escape and remain silent, but dare to face and think, learn from experience and lessons, and use this as a driving force to work together to contribute to the construction of a safe city and the construction of a diverse and inclusive society. At the same time, it is also hoped that the police can crack such cases as soon as possible, give justice to the victims, and also give the general public a peaceful social environment, so that everyone can fully feel the warmth and care of the society in such an environment.
