how do we change it ----------- if incidents like this don't change it?

Now the person who I spoke of is a very smart person - but, where has their research gone? pffffffffffft what do we need to 'get it'? ----------- an incident like this every week? An incident where Dutto comes face to face with some homeless person having a psychotic episode and has a big knife? would that nail it home through the thick heads who are responsible for the society? buggered if I know look at these boards in the last day ----------- 'thick' --------- way way underestimates it look at trashcansinatra's post ''This is a State issue'' but -------------- the moron mob on here blame Labor -------------yet ---------- there was just 12 years of Liberal state government in NSW - until only last month to me - I believe it's a national responsibility ------------- ALL levels of government - ALL citizens responsibilitywho else is there? ---------- who is to wake up and understand that people need housing, feeding, health and education? and if one doesn't have that - then, one doesn't have a nation and one sure doesn't have a secure nation, and can never have a developing nationif posters on political forums can't grasp that - and politicians can't grasp that then - we're going nowhere - maybe backwards we wait - for some politicians daughter or grandchild to be knifed to death in a shopping mall - or their wife ------------- or they come face to face with someone with a knife in a supermarket when they are on holidays only then - might it dawn on the ignorant and 'I'm alright jack' people

The government (on both sides probably) mistakenly see these killings as one off, rare events and either can't equate the causes or they deem it too costly to rectify - coz they need that money for useless subs and to placate the dumb Bogan masses with football ovals. Problem is that psychotic episode events where people kill and police shootings of people experiencing these events (before or after the act) are becoming all too common. But I would venture to say that government thinks of it as: the cost of doing business, so I doubt we will see any solid solutions coming out of Canberra, Pinto.
