As long we continue to buy the convenient propaganda that spree shooters do what they do because they are mentally ill or otherwise defective, the more the thugs who trade in the commodities of cruelty and harassment will be held unaccountable for their participation in sponsoring massacres such as Aramoana.
The tipping-point for David Malcolm Gray was being informed that he had to pay $2 for a bank cheque to draw out his own money. He was unemployed, receiving benefits and living frugally - $2 is money that he needed for food, to pay a utility bill. Sometimes the only difference between insanity and humanity is a gold coin donation.
In the wake of the Aramoana massacre, did New Zealand banking institutions abolish their practice of charging customers for bank cheques?
