I do like that we don't has as many guns as the US but you're not wrong here and I've noticed Facebook comments over the last 2-3 years turn increasingly nasty regarding youth crime. Going from blaming the cops, to the government, to the judges and law, to outright stating they should catch a bullet.
The problem in my area is cultural. There was a recent case where a young indigenous man broke into a families house with a machete. The husband/father confronted him and killed him with the machete, suffering serious injuries himself in the process.
The indigenous community is up in arms about it, asking for justice for their son, complaining that they weren't told why he died etc. Because of their culture their family (any blood relative so a large amount of people) now have a blood feud with the home owner AND any of his blood relatives and he will have to sell his house and leave town or be subjected to repeated violence, or his home being burnt down. It is perfectly acceptable in the indigenous culture for the dead man's family to bash and kill his wife or child in exchange for what happened to their family member because it is blood relative. Very eye for an eye approach.
WA Police Commissioner Col Blanch says a man will not be charged over a fatal confrontation during a home invasion in Kalgoorlie last year.
