    I've been at a strike where the striking workers were beating casual labourers with knob kieries whilst they were on the back of a bakkie. The department managers were strapped with hand guns and one pulled out his silver 9mm right in front of me and the strikers all backed off.

    Scary sheet!!!!!!!!

    If the cops are faced with this then it's time to take the gloves off.

    On the news a few nights back they showed a guy standing behind a flag with a gun in his hand, I think it was this same strike.

    Heard a audio clip on 5FM, sounded like Ak's being fired and then the huge exchange. Dunno if proper footage or not though.

    new footage just seen on e-news, sounds like a couple of shots before cops opened up, definitely not AK's, cops just let rip into a group of miners

    With hundreds of people armed to the teeth like that, how do they expect the cops not to open fire?

    Why don't they video record these gatherings? Also, why not have snipers sitting a bit back and watch for gunmen in the crowd?

    A massacre, they are calling it, if those hooligans hacked cops to death and other miners then what would it have been called?

    Not for sensitive viewers.

    But seriously, what were these fools thinking when they charged the police with pangas and guns like that??
