What the hell is going on?

By Chris | Permalink

People are attacking &/or killing each other in disturbingly high numbers and nasty ways in Australia recently. Maybe I just haven’t been keeping up with the news that much, but there’s been an alarming rise in the number of homicides.

Six killed on bloody Monday

On the same day two Asian blokes were found dead in their apartment in Sydney. A woman in Brisbane was stabbed 10 times by a random idiot yesterday and recently another bloke went nuts and killed his kids before stabbing himself to death.

Not that I know much about these things but it seems to be that it takes a certain amount of intent to stab someone with the object of killing them. You’re not likely to do it on the first try, it’s messy and you have to get very close. I’m sure it’s not like pulling the trigger from a distance. And these guys are killing small children.

It’s a very worrying sign and I hope it’s the last we hear of this type of thing.

I’d say its too much sun, but over here in the UK this week was the story of a guy whose wife left him and was having a kid by her new bloke.

Ex-hubby takes the four sons he had with his wife,ages between 3-7, out in his car and calls her saying she won’t see them again and fires up a lawnmower he has in the back killing himself and the kids.
Pointless.

I have no answers but a heck of a lot of questions. Why, why, why? >
