Kwesi Aning, a security badyst, said the sudden rise in violent crime and activism in the country was not surprising.
According to him, Ghana has become a tolerant society in terms of violence.
Speaking at Thursday's Citi Breakfast Show, the security badyst said that the kind of language and attitude displayed by Ghanaians in the public space had deep, violent tones. .
"Overtime over the past 15 to 20 years has become a tolerant society when it comes to violence, it has become a spectacle when the violence really happens."
"I'm not at all surprised, and it's going to increase dramatically before we can get an idea. Our language itself glorifies violence and, at present, the threat of harming someone. The kind of indiscipline that glorifies violence in the public space is not surprising, "he said.
"Violence has become a spectacle and we need to get rid of it, we have to eliminate the pain," he added.
