Am I living in Rwanda circa 1994?

I discovered what a machete was during the Rwandan genocide circa 1994. I was about 15 or 16 and had never pondered that such a brutal instrument could inflict so much damage to the flesh.

Maybe it's always been here, but now it seems to have reached the North. Such flucking scumbags exist that a gang of them walked into a family home armed with machetes and no doubt the obligatory baseball bat. You're not a hard man up the North without a baseball bat. Well hard they were... attacked and killed a man in front of his heavily pregnant wife. She subsequently gave birth to a baby in hospital after suffering "minor" injuries to the head! Whatever about the husband; what kind of savages injure a pregnant woman? Call me naive but I'm incensed that such thuggery can take place. It makes me sick to my stomach.
