One more Indian student attacked in Australia

The Australian law enforcement agency is sending out a clear and
consistent message: are you one of those thugs that waylay people
coming back from a day's hardwork; and you do not want to be kicked in
the wrong place while you are busy with your act?, then choose your
victims carefully, foreign students! If you can recognize Indian
students, all the more good. We are officially declaring that they are
'week' targets; they will be at the wrong places at wrong times, that
is, we, the police, wont be around to help them! And they are very
likely to carry mobile phones and iPods. Have a field day!

Oz – Indian students are targeted!

There was a perception that Indian people were "weak prey" for criminals, Deputy Commissioner Kieran Walshe was quoted as saying by the media here."I don't think they are (racist crimes) in general ...more opportunistic activity. We think they (Indians) are vulnerable, we don't think it's racial, we think they are a weak target."

Police have repeatedly denied that race was a factor in the attacks, arguing that Indian students were often simply in the wrong place at the wrong time as they travelled home late at night with items such as mobile phones and iPods.

What a lame response from an establishment, which is meant to protect the "week" and have extra vigilance at the "wrong" places!
