taken from news.com.au, so much ridiculopus things going on...

A QUIET high school pupil donned a macabre ninja-like outfit before slaying a fellow student with a sword in South Africa.

His face painted black, wearing a home-made mask and wielding a sword resembling a samurai, the teenager went on a violent spree killing a 16-year-old boy and injuring two school gardeners.

Police spokesman Captain Jacob Raboroko said the killing took place early yesterday before the Nic Diederichs Technical High School in Krugersdorp on the western outskirts of Johannesburg held its daily assembly.

Experts agree the latest tragedy is one of many showing an increase in violent incidents in the country's schools.

"It is horrifying. The incident further shows that violence in South African schools is a real problem and people, especially parents, are worried about it," the director of South Africa's Centre for Justice and Crime Prevention (CJCP), Eric Pelser said.

Education expert Graeme Bloch of the Development Bank of South Africa said it showed South Africans were living in a "very violent society".

"It is an extreme situation, also underlying the general problems facing our youth: problems of identity, confidence in the future, abuse of drugs and breakdown of family's moral system."

A recent study by the CJCP, released in April, said violence in the country's schools was "embedded in the broader violent South African environment".

Official statistics indicate that at least 50 murders are committed in South Africa every day, while child murders increased 22.4 per cent between March 2007 and April 2008.

The CJCP research, carried out between 2006 and 2007 in conjunction with the department of education, showed that 15.3 per cent of students in primary and secondary schools, or 1.8 million pupils, had been victims at some point of violence such as assault, sexual harassment or assault, rape or robberies.

More than 88,000 pupils in high schools across the Gauteng province, which includes Johannesburg and Pretoria, had experienced violence in schools, adds the report titled Merchants, Skollies and Stones, the first such study in the country.

According to the study, children engaged in violence due to drug or alcohol use, exposure to violence, easy access to weapons and criminal role models, including parents and environment.

In schools, up to 64 per cent of pupils had easy access to alcohol, 25.3 per cent drugs and 62 per cent to guns, the report said.

The head of Gauteng education, Angie Motshekga, who is also the leader of the ruling African National Congress (ANC) women's league, said she was "taken aback" at the killing of the year nine pupil.

"This is traumatic. Parents leave their children with us in schools and expect to find them in one piece," she told teachers and pupils during a visit to the school, according to SAPA news agency.

Uh-oh, you got me started... lol

Well, I believe the way you are as a person defines what you choose as entertainment, not the other way around. I have yet to see anyone, who wasnt already messed up in the first place, listen to a certain genre of music or play a violent game and then studdenly go crazy because of it. There are millions of people who listen to this music and play these types of games everyday, yet they dont go around shooting up schools or killing people because they feel like it. Why? Is it because these forms of media are telling them that its ok to kill people but they just resist the urge? No, of course not. Is simply becuase they arent psychologically unwell to begin with.

If anything, Id think the games would be more influential than the music since its of a simulation of real events, with no real consequenses. However, millions of people are still perfectly able to differentiate what is alright in a game from what is alright in the real world.

If its not the music, or the games, or the movies that make these people think its alright to go kill another human being, then it will just be something else. Maybe a book, maybe something on the news, or something a friend tells them. The fact remains that these people arent mentally sane. Everyone needs to stop blaming these forms of media which are entertainment to millions and supposed kill encouragement to one or two. There always will be crazy people out there, but we should not try to punish everyone just because of a few. Also, its not as though these shootings and stuff are all that new, like I said, theres always going to be a few crazy people out there. Its just that we now hear about every single one of these incidents because communication is so easy and widespread today.

Anyway, in short... Blame the people, not the media. [:-}

yes i agree with that but people choose music they feel... go with their mental state (so to speak) and metal seems to be the music they love, now im not saying that the music makes them do it but im pretty sure the music plays a part even if its a very small one. I mean you never see a west life fan going on a klling spree. They always listen to death metal and stuff... But w/e i may be wrong.

music has a much bigger effect on people than most people realize, thats a fact. Artists themselfs have admitted that they have much more power than what they should have, some of these bands have fans so dedicated that they would kill in the name of the band if they were told to do so by them. These metal shows always turn out to be one big pit fight with people getting badly injured, thats proof that metal brings out a bad and destructive side from people.

i dont think games really playes such a big part, Flight simulator caused more deaths than all other FPS games together since the people who did 9/11 trained on that game...

but thats my opinion, and obviously not everyone listening to metal will become blood thirsty animals and start killing random people...

Or that bad and destructive people are all just attracted to that type of music.

I guess its kinda a paradox... where it just depends on how you look at it.

What it basically comes down to for me is... "Never condemn the masses for the faults of a few." Which luckily, though games and movies and music all have their ratings and PA stickers, and cranky people fight to have things banned and whatnot, they have yet to really pull anything off the shelves.

It's all in the head, I can see a back street boy fan go on a killing spree.

But yeah music could play a part.

As Unginged said, its kinda a pardox....

Research has shown that EVERYONE has a potential "murderer" inside them

ive seen a documentary about it.. i was amazed.

IMO, its metal and has nothing to do with being smart and decisions.
