School fetes – I knew there is a reason why I hate them

Violence at a school fete in Papua New Guinea left eight people dead and a severed head hanging from a power pole.  According to local media, an armed gang attacked villagers gathered at the fete in Kainantu district last Friday, and killed four people.  The gang’s leader interrupted a speech by a local magistrate, produced a gun and shot him dead.  Villagers retaliated by killing three of the gang members. One was beheaded and the head hung on a power pole.  Another was killed the next day.  The gang’s leader, Patrick Sira, is wanted by police over a string of murders, rapes and robberies – he escaped after the attack.

While I’ve never been to a fete that extreme, I still hate them.  Can’t see the point of buying other people’s shit and crap made by other people’s kids.

  1. Hi Ian,I like the post about the fete and like you I don’t like the bloody things.But mass murder would be a great way of putting people off,that of course as well as being forced to eat Vegemite!
