Yeah Goldfish has been kicking mega bum down here in CT, its a shame we will be losing them to Ibiza pretty soon.
You should come down for the jol dude :D

there has been so much said about Goldfish and rightly so,those boys know how to get evryone on the dance floor!
but…the dirty skirts are probably the most underrated band in SA. Jeremy and his crew always put on a rocking show and their unique blend of disco beats mixed in with some electro samples is something that will make any music fan smile!

should be a cracking day out

Me’s broke. It’s the 18th not the 25th i tell you.

Thats the one Goggl3boy…sorry everybody forgot that this cursed box can be funny with links :P
Which one of the bands is your fav??

Nice one HappyDesign, I think this one is gonna be awesome, back to the roots with bit of moshmosh…oooooh yeah :D

i’m there like a bear

I found this… is this the link?

Sounds great! I dig the South African Rock & Alternative scene. Do you have a link for the website where you get to vote?

Ah you misunderstand my point :)

I am not saying that the child bears any less responsibility. I am saying that this Is something premeditated, and therefore observable.

Parents are not as involved as they should be in their childs lives. They give too much control over.

What was that boy doing with four swords dangerous enough to kill with? Apparently he also dabbled in drugs?
How did his folks miss this? Did they ignore it?

There had to be behavioral cues that would have pointed towards his upcoming outburst, and these would have escalated gradually over time. Surely the parents noticed?!

I think they did, and did not do anything about it.

Which is why I say (and this might just be me being misguided) that the parents are equally to blame. If there was a law that weighed the parents negligence (for want of a better word) and then punished them for it in cases like this, I think we would have far less of these incidents.

Having said that, I do believe that the boy (and the girls in the article i posted) must be tried as adults. And that their sentences must be harsh.

I disagree with you Sabre:
“Cogito, ergo sum” (I think therefore I am).
Murder in whatever form and for whatever reason is generally meditated.
Anyone who have actively decided and committed to do something (ie=murder) should be held responsible for their actions.

Charging parents to pay for the crimes of their children will only open the doors to more potential mass murdering kiddies who might 1: have a grudge against their parents 2: hate everyone and would LOVE the opportunity to cause chaos and destroy a few lives 3: Simply want to see how far they can get.

Teenage disputes like the girls who attacked and killed in your link, and the ninja are generally pre-meditated.
“|like omg I so don’t liker her cause she’s not wearing the right shoes… Like we should just like go away”.

There needs to be a more harsh form of punishment for teenagers, there need to be harsher punishments for crime in this country in general.

I blame the folks.

I think there should be a law that forces parents to be tried with their kids when the charge against the child is murder / rape / something similar.

it really pisses me off when music or video games get blamed for something like this.
what would they have said if he had Gareth Gates or Bokjol treffers 21 on his computer? nothing…you cant blame music for this
this kid obviously has some serious issues and i know we are not supposed to judge but in this case I will.I ope this boy suffers and pays a huge price for what he did.

also makes you think about these outrageous statements being made by Julius Malema of the ANC Youth League…“we will kill for Zuma!”, what next? a political killing spree for our mashimi wami singing JZ?

very sad

The world’s crazy..

I totally agree AntiNexus, I forgot who said it but we wouldnt watch the news if nothing crazy or wild happening..

We are starting getting used to school killings or events to that nature on the news, now kids have to go to extremes to get famous, look at the Virginia Tech shootings, that young Asian kid killed 32 people before killing himself, 1 week later, no one cared until the yr anniversery..

The question is, who and whats next?

Our justice system is so bad that he probably will get out free.

Dunno man, think he could get away with it if he pleads any form of insanity.
Stress / peer pressure / religion, all mind “altering” and useful for getting out of mass murder charges.

However, on the whole “my kids in schools until it was sorted out”... SA schools are not nice places any more. Kids are stabbing each other with pens (Not surprised this has already been forgotten), gangs, drug dealing. I understand that frikking teachers are afraid of going to their jobs. I went to Fairmont High and hated it; all these so call “rich and privileged” kids (girls especially) bashing each other’s faces into brick work over who F£(*&£$ed who’s boyfriend…
This is one strange and dramatic case, but teenagers like to be dramatic.
Point is: this kind of thing happens everywhere, the only difference is, we don’t care unless its weird enough to get into the news.

Hi there all.
Just a follow up on the story:
The case regarding the sword wielding school boy Morne Harmse has been postponed until the 27th of August, in the mean time he has to find himself a lawyer.
Which makes you wonder what dumb ass lawyer would want to be saddled with such a horrific case…but hey there are
probably plenty, all publicity is good publicity right?!
Morne Harmse’s friend Max Brechlin was also being held on charges of conspiracy to commit murder and possession of a deadly weapon.
The talk of the town is that there may have been a group of students involved in this tragedy, makes you think of the “Trench coat killers” all those years ago in Columbine.
Could there be more of these little psychos wandering the halls of the very same high school…it must seriously have parents in a flat spin.
Dude I wouldn’t want my kids back at that place until I had assurances that everything was sorted….imagine they all went on a rampage together…the fatalities could have been much worse.
Max Brechlin has subsequently had the charges dropped against him, but he is still under close observation and most probably will have to go through a psychological grilling….although that’s to be expected.
If he even had the slightest inkling that his friend was going to do this and never told the authorities, then he is an accessory to the deaths.
If anybody hears anything else please let me know.
Oh and thanks for all the responses, good to see everybody voices their opinions so proudly.

What’s a little blood between ppl who share a building?! (kinda).
