And we think SA has problems

I particularly like the "Police Commandos". RWC is so getting some of those.
On a more serious note this is scary. I mean they have strict content control laws so they can't even blame violent games. To all the Game haters out there now you see, games dont kill people, the lack there off does.
 
I think it's ridiculous that they blame games for these sorts of violent antics. Kids around the world play violent games. They don't all go out and murder random people.
 
Yes, this is pretty bad, but it hardly compares to SA's level of senseless murders.

At least SA's senseless murders don't often involve school shoot outs/stabbings.

Anything like this in Australlia coz they are just paranoid about their content control.

I think it's worse. These are children walking in and killing fellow children. There is something highly disturbing about that.

Yes, because only over 18s break into homes, rape old ladies and butcher innocent people. SA's criminals are animals, the papers just don't bother reporting about it anymore. Even the kids.

Ya but it's an entirely different scenario in this country. Poor people looking to make a quick buck are commiting crimes and yes it turns brutal but it's a different pscyhology at play.

In Germany it's not about making money. There is something else at work! What is it?
 
Blame the tree-hugging hippies.

+1 Damn the bloody tree-huggers. Make war not love...

Like Serqet said there is a psychology at play. Alot of the time these kids dont have violent histories. SA's criminals are a whole different of monster, personally i find these violent events in Europe a little more scary than our own crims. When you walk down the street you can spot, what the brits are calling yobs, and avoid them, but those like the one in this article come out of nowhere, that unpredictability is scary.
 
Did you all forget about satanic slipknot samurai? Outcome was worse than this, although situation/method was comparable.

I'd rather have someone shoot or knife me to death over being burned alive, or tortured to death, which seem quite popular in Africa, but thats just me.

How many of these instances (Samurai kid) have we had in comparison to America and Europe? I always say they should go look into that kids school life, he was prob bullied by classmates and had a mental break. Must admit at times during my school years i felt like doing something like this...

Are you referring to the xenophobic attacks?

Well said. I also find it a little more scarier than the run of the mil crime here. I am by no means disputing the brutality South Africans face in our day to day lives but it is something we are aware of and can watch out for. Europeans are blindsided by these random attacks of violence.
