Someone at work said the killers parents were British immigrants so he's the first generation born out there if true.


There's a sub culture of hatred and racism in NZ, there's been a few murders out there based on this.

Is there a culture in the world which doesn’t have a race/ hatred sub culture?

Some people are more susceptible to the worse elements of the tribal part of our brains.

Then you'd be wrong. You probably grew up on a diet of 2nd World war films, did this make you want to go out and murder loads of Germans and Japanese?

Not murder them but there was definitely a mistrust / dislike of Germans drip fed over decades which I would say certainly affected how I thought of them.

I have worked with many Germans and travelled there extensively over the last 20 years or so which has changed those perceptions, but it was definitely there in my deep psyche.

Unbelievable. But the likes of Anning and Hanson who are the One Nation party get a lot of air time in Australia. The right wing movement is pretty vocal there.

Of course it is, it’s Australia.

It’s ok in the big cities but traveling through the country areas there, fuck me, such backward views

I was surprised mind. I've known a few Kiwis in the past and walking the half mile distance from Tooting Bec tube to her flat she said that it wasn't one she'd make back home - she'd definitely have gotten a taxi. And I'm talking about 25yrs ago.

Why has this thread suddenly turned to blaming violence in games and movies? That was thoroughly debunked in the 90s.

Have you not read some of the comments? Kids have watched this video and they don’t know if it’s real or not, they have seen innocent people gunned down and they don’t even lift an eyebrow.

I’m not saying ban all computers, but the hyper realistic, first person murder games have to go. Games can be a wonderful tool to socialise, escape, learn and be more accepting of different people, there is no need for them to be about rewarding death and punishing weakness.
