I hate to say it but SA has a serious issue developing in this regard.
One often hears how the US is a 'litigious' society meaning that at the slightest sign of things not going their way someone is likely to resort to litigation before even exploring any other avenues.
Wee-ee-eel, IMO SA is becoming a protest'igious' society.
At the drop of a hat and without any regard for the options available people take to the streets in often violent protest. This is not only sad and scary but it also undermines the issues and integrity of the protesters, the security guards violent protest in CT is a case in point - these okes are employed to provide security but they are the selfsame people destroying public and private property whilst running amok in the streets.
Incidentally the footage of that protest like a few others since was strikingly reminiscent of footage from the 70's and 80's - the only difference of course being that the protesters in those times actually had grounds for their discontent.

. I think my parents would've walloped me if I even tried a stunt like that.
