Yea, I agree people should focus on solutions instead of ratting people out. This entire ordeal has produced an insane amount of 'snitching' .. three Australian boys face a $1,000+ fine for having beer together on a roof.

Say you loose your job, your unemployment is stuck in bureaucratic hell, and you just want to have a beer with your two best friends to forgot about how fucked things are. Then you get helicopters and megaphones and a $1k fine. That's insane.

This entire ordeal has been a tragic example of people turning other people in and judging them for all their decisions, without offering people any real help or relief:

This time has really brought out the worst in society and government and we should never look back upon this time with any sense of honor.
