ARCHDIOCESE OF SYDNEY REPORT: Catholic Communications, Sydney Archdiocese, 20 Jul 2012 Thomas Kelly’s funeral today Violence at Kings Cross is not only fuelled by alcohol but has become vicious, mindless and random, says Dr Gordian Fulde, Director of the Emergency Department (ED) at St Vincent’s Hospital, Darlinghurst.”Where conflicts used to break out between two people, now we have groups attacking a single person for no reason at all and when that person goes down and is unconscious, they continue attacking him with multiple punches and kicks,” he says and believes one of the most dangerous places for a young man and his girlfriend to be is at one of a fast food take-aways at the Cross at 2.am on a Friday or Saturday night.”That’s when groups of young louts are out on the streets bored, full of testosterone and alcohol, and looking for trouble,” he says. Thomas Kelly – dead at 18 For 18-year-old Thomas Kelly whose funeral was held today at King’s School, Parramatta, it was just 10 pm on Saturday, 7 July when out on a date with his girlfriend and on his first-ever visit to Kings Cross, he was king hit in an unprovoked, random and senseless attack.
