1. The entertainment media today now produces products which routinely encourages criminal behaviour. There are even books being sold glorifying graffiti and teaching young people how to do it. "Rap" music on any "youth" radio program routinely glorifies, drug abuse, misogyny, and the solving problems with weapons. Other "songs" glorify killing police officers and white people, and the joys of raping your mother. And these products are aimed at the youngest and the dumbest members of our society. Any fool who thinks that the media has no effect on human behaviour, should agree that advertisements for cigarettes and alcohol should be allowed in their kid's books and magazines, and on their kid's TV shows.
We can watch Charles Bronson shoot down 35 bad guys in one movie (Death Wish 4) and think it is very entertaining, and hail Charles Bronson as a hero. Then we wonder why a socially isolated and very lonely dumbass like Martin Bryant picks up a gun and shoots 35 people dead. What we see as entertainment, Bryant sees as a script for upward social mobility.
2. This is occurring at a time when one child in three is living in a single parent household. The entertainment media executives are just as aware of what they are doing to societies most vulnerable, as the cigarette executives where when they targeted children for cigarette addiction.
3. Race and crime are linked. We keep importing into our country the very races and ethnicities who are always dysfunctional because they have a much lower collective IQ than we do, and because they are genetically more prone to violent behaviour than we are. These races are a serious and never ending social problem wherever they go. But the official religion today is "everybody is equal", so we ignore the self evident.
4. We are importing into Australia people from very violent religions and cultures where the normal response to any perceived slight is violence. This is because in these cultures, the male sense of personal honour is still medieval
