因小故而殺人的案件連年不斷，跟泛濫的受害者心態有關，不少人只知 "人人對自已有惡意，個個在逼害自己"，繼而狂性大發，政府應加強人民教育，萬事先反省，不可事事都怪罪別人

注意点你的脑袋, (in a general context), is a very common euphemistic phrase used as a threat of physical violence. In the old days, perhaps even now, the way to execute an enemy is beheading. And so, asking someone to 注意点你的脑袋, "pay some attention to your head", is to say, if your don't, you may lose it, (i.e. your head); just like if you don't pay attention to your, say, iPhone, you may lose it.
