Sucked in, Jonathan!
We've driven past these posters any number of
times in the last week or so, and found them increasingly disturbing as their
message has sunk in.
Sorry it's not exactly legible. I couldn't do any better with the software on this computer. The yellow poster says, 'Drug dealers hassling your kids?' and the purple one says, 'Cops can't help with your problems?' They both have a fairly crude graphic of a fist smashing towards the viewer, then a mobile number, which I won't reproduce here, and a web site -- joehunter(dot)com(dot)au.
Could this be what it seems to be? IS someone really advertising vigilante services? As the GFC worsens, will we see more of this kind of thing? I was concerned enough to go to the web site, thinking I might actually stir myself far enough to draw this fairly worrying development to someone's attention.
I got to the website and felt just a bit silly.
