Constable Abbott made a "Scapegoat"

(24th November 2002)

Constable Abbot is being made a scapegoat of, and taking the rap for years of failed Political and Social Polices, said National Spokesperson for the Sensible Sentencing Trust.

The fact that Stephen Wallace while armed with a weapon didn't even stop to consider the consequences as he advanced without hesitation on a fully uniformed Constable Abbot, shows he had no respect for the Law. This is a sad indictment on Society as a whole and something we must all bear some responsibility for, said Mr. McVicar.

The liability for Stephens death lies within this Country's failed 30 year politically correct social experiment, said Mr. McVicar.

Stephen Wallace was a product of a Society that has stopped encouraging our young people to accept any responsibility or accountability for their actions, evidence of this is seen daily in the ever increasing Violent Crime.

Constable Abbot is simply the "fall guy" for past and present politicians who have failed to heed the warning signs and ignored the voice of the People.

Sensible Sentencing Trust fully supports Constable Abbot, without community support for our police there is no hope, without hope we have anarchy.

Garth McVicar
