I find this story even more shocking, are we really that dangerous a people?

Isn't everyone missing one important point - is it not the case that most citites in the UK if not the world suffer a concentration of crime (including violent crime) in and around the central station area ?? It's hardly surprising given the amount of human traffic passing through such a place each day.
On one hand you have travellers and tourists getting their bags or wallets stolen, on the other you have pissed up folk fighting as they make their way home when last orders are called. And all this is before you add into the equation the groups of neds or junkies who use the area as a meeting point.
An ugly concentration of crime ? yes - Unique to Glasgow or worse than any other big city ?....no.
