Just a simple misunderstanding, he understood his role to be 'organise crime'.

The arresting officers. They could have just murdered him and grabbed all the money for themselves if they were out to commit crime.

Or he was going to rat them out for being corrupt and they off'ed him with a fictitious story made up.

He's not dead.

He's not dead.

Yet.

 

[ForceFate]

I don't know why people torture themselves this way when politicians are already doing it.

 

[ForceFate]

Yet.

They could have killed him on the spot if they wanted the R500k.

 

[TheChamp]

I don't know why people torture themselves this way when politicians are already doing it.

Giving credit where it's due is hard, it's much easier to look for imaginary reasonable explanations.

I believe he has a working brain, that automatically disqualifies him for any role in politics.

 

[Bonywasawarrioraway]

He's not dead.

Probably only because they are incompetent in addition to being corrupt.

Probably only because they are incompetent in addition to being corrupt.

Then why was he arrested if murder was planned?

 

[TheChamp]

Moan when police are not acting on corruption within their ranks and moan even more when they do, MyBeoederbond style.
