Papua New Guinea's Brutal Gang Culture

Rascals (1995): We look at the cultural roots of crime in PNG, where gangs stop cars in their tracks and quarrels have traditionally been settled in a vociferous, hands-on way.

Synopsis: 'Drive fast, never stop and get someone else to open your gates.' This is the reality for many living in Papau New Guinea, a country troubled by gang violence. One land owner has to have three layers of security to feel safe, and theft and murder are not uncommon. ABC Australia follows the gangs themselves, capturing a live hold up on film and interviewing a former 'Rascal', as the gang is known.

Vid from 90's. Unfortunately pretty much same today. Had the best childhood/teenage yrs growing up in PNG during 60's & 70's. Fishing, diving, bush walking, looking for war relics, hanging out with my PNG buddies. Miss those times. Visit PNG every 5 years. Cheers from Brisbane.👍🏻

To be honest the violence has been around way before europeans came to papua, tribal war is still performed even today

Dead Island lead me here. Moresby, a true outlaw city. I love this game even more now after seeing this if that makes sense. Tough place to grow up and live in... shit, tough don't even cut it anyway near. Jebus... you shouldn't even stop your car to step out to open your gate, better to have someone open it for you to minimise risk. That is crazy. I grew up in the Philippines in the poor bario's among other street kids and that was no sunshine eather, this struck something sad in me. Misery in the tropical paradise.

[@jroll5858]

The original song is "Cotton Fields" by Credence Clearwater Revival. This one is a remake in what I'm guessing is the local language?

[@riccardoguareschi7115]

Jay Johnson thank you! Indeed shazam failed

[@dopdoit]

The Singer is George Telek. The track title I have no clue. It is in Tok Pisin. Not a rendition of 'cotton fields' though but a sampling of it.

[@austere4807]

@@dopdoit Are you sure it's George Telek? I have scoured all of his playlists on KZbin, but i find nothing that resembles it. Perhaps is it from Basil Greg, now that they have similar music style?

[@dopdoit]

@@austere4807 Yeah. You could be right. Upon hearing it again, it doesn't sound like George Telek. My other hunch is "Painim Wok" band or "The Owen Stanley Rangers".

[@jimpain7905]

I suppose this is what happens when you have a country where most people loved in a undeveloped way until very recently and now like every other country like this the young people want a ultra modern life which isn't possible immediately for everyone to get a I phone and new brick home ect but the biggest problem seems to be that the leaders from top to bottom are extremely corrupt which along with huge tribalism even in the capital leads to the state of modern png!!! The real issue is if they don't start working together immediately other countries will move in to take advantage even more than now but the leadership just keep taking bribes for the natural resources and the situation just gets worse and worse!!

[@laurieberry4814]

I learned that the Gebusi had the highest murder rate in the world. Then they had the lowest rate of murder rate in the world . They used to believe in witchcraft being used for everyone who died by Bruce Knaught. He was an anthropology who lived with the Gebusi. I believe the missionaries changed them. They had their own culture.

This film was made in March 1995 and yet was not posted until Aug, 22 2018,,,eight months ago, YOU POST A REPORT MADE 23 YEARS AGO, WHY? Say you are 30 years old and I publish as CURRENT information your school report as a 7 year old, Do you think a 23 year old journalistic squib is worth preserving? WHY? As a Westerner I am sick of Western news organisations doing NOTHING BUT hatchet jobs on PNG

[@jusdgaf449]

Much earlier but waaaay after the report was compiled now the question is why was it re-uploaded?

[@piitii8141]

@@jusdgaf449 i think just for the purpose of archiving their original content. they had a lot of good shots here; and even if the information they present is biased and old the video makers are probably just trying to promote the channel, its the same company.

Historical data is important to preserve. It's not like they are trying to pass it off as made in 2018. It very clearly says 1995.

Nathan Pether yea.. I don’t think that’s true, our natives are a lot more darker per say, I believe they are African

[@shihtzu291]

@@humanbean626 Thanks for the info. It makes you laugh when you read the history book's and it's always the white Europeans that discovered Australia, New Zealand or say the America's when it was discovered hundreds of years before by Africa's or Polynesians or inuits crossing the frozen baring sea to reach North America but the Europeans always take the credit and that pisses me off.

[@humanbean626]

Nathan Pether this is very true

[@dopdoit]

Sub-Saharan Africans are not the only native dark-skinned people of the world. There are Australian and Tasmanian Aborigines (who are now extinct), Melanesians who inhabit New Guinea and all the archipelagos from the Solomon Islands to the French Territory of New Caledonia the Tamils of Sri Lanka, and the Santinelese and Andaman Islands of India. Believe it or not, there are "black" people in this world who are not native to the African continent.
