Of course having being shot already doesn't require the further insult of being shot again. And again. What made the cops so rude? The way they over-reacted? You'd swear someone chopped up their friends. Oh, wait...

So all good for them to be Judge Dredds?

I suspect it was the striking miners and/or their families. Weren't they asking for public funds to survive a few weeks back?

Idiots. They would rather starve than work. This is what is wrong with this country. Instead of being grateful for having a job and an income they are demanding more and more and strike and then their plan backfires because they do not have any money or food.

I think all of the Judges have the authority to act that way, not just Judge Dredd.

However, try reading the bit you quoted and you should be able to find that it really says that cops shooting the wounded isn't good but that there is a human condition at play.

Judge Anderson is rather cute.

Well considering the situation, food/money is required and stealing it is the only way to survive.

Only their own fault.

Greed is no excuse for theft.
These guys have jobs. All they need to do is to stop striking and work for a living and they'll money to purchase food.

No let's rather make sure our crime intelligence systems are functional and can stop these things before they happen. Why do we have crime and other intelligence who pay an army of informants supposedly living among the general populous but yet can't ever produce credible intelligence on anything.

I agree, but here is the flaw. Crime intelligence is now more a part of the anc than the saps. Their main role it seems has been protecting and crushing opposition at anc rallies. So like it or not they have had their hands tied for years now with other things.

On the article it is simple, expropriation without compensation. It is what eff and amcu has been spewing, this just isn't state sponsored. During communism the term most used was "loot the looters"

Well said.
 
The mines are already in the process of mechanising cause if this strike. Those mine workers are just shooting themselves in the foot and I actually feel sorry for them. Its the unions that are leading them astray. I really wish for a call to put the unions in their place. Margaret thatcher faced similar issues, she just said "no work, no pay" and stuck to it. Stupid unions

I would like to see you being in that frontline with a massive mob descending on you with weapons, lets see how pious you are when they dont listen to you telling them to stop.

For sure the unions are to blame.
The difference is that Margaret Thatcher was not behind those same workers politically and trying to keep them voting for her, she had a more important job making sure the country was run properly.

Yes let's rather let 4000 of them burn a shopping centre down and let's let them go mad like a bunch of nut jobs and crash the economy .
Let's let them murder a cop and a security guard ........much better

Cops who shoot people in the back aren't nut jobs? Your heroes. Says a lot about you

And it is also the unions fault that these hooligans can't think for themselves what they should and shouldn't do right? Like they don't have a freaken mind of their own?

Never underestimate how much the IQ drops in crowd mentality

Blame it on the bunny. Yes, I know crowds can psyche each other up, but people just don't take responsability for their own actions. Although I know that people that doesn't participate in these kinds of things are intimidated by the others. I am so sick of the mentality of these people.
 
Instead of stupid debates about who was wrong, how about remembering that two wrongs don't make a right. Take some responsibility for your own actions.

Well it'll take them a few years to pay off all the loans they took out for the strike first, maybe they can eat again in 2037.

4000 - that's some serious numbers that "just got together".
Concerning that they could organise such a large crowd to "work in unison".

Looting does not require collaboration.

Its as simple as : "Oh look, that guy just took that stuff and no one stopped him."


Sounds like things are really on edge.... Intervention is required.
