For a passive and relatively docile culture, they sure do take it out on their family members here. Anyone that has lived here for any amount of time has become desensitized to this sort of regular crime news story. Would love to see if this is a rather recent phenomenon and how the numbers stack up with the rest of the world. Something tells me the family on family murders are higher here for some reason. What that means is open to interpretation.
