Brutal video doing the rounds [Update: suspects arrested!]

[Fudzy]

--------------Original First Post by Fudzy----------------
WARNING: Graphic content

The title of the video automatically jumps to this being the ANC (due to the fact that there are some people in the crowd wearing the ANC t-shirts that are given out freely) beating a COPE member. I would wait for a proper investigation before jumping to conclusions but either way, it shows how harsh and violent this country really is:

Easy solution .... Nuke them or some sort of non airborne pathogen and just isolate the area.

 

[HDS]

Proof that evolution is false.

Proof that evolution is false.

Or that some missed a few generations and still need to.

 

[Brawler]

Holy fk that is shocking. She is beaten with an axe.

 

[Fulcrum29]

How do we know that this is being investigated and who reported this case?

 

[HDS]

Or that some missed a few generations and still need to.

Haha, or that.

 

[Fudzy]

How do we know that this is being investigated and who reported this case?

Well that's what I'd like to know too. I'm sure more details will emerge soon, it's been forwarded to quite a few news groups already.

Of course, natural causes or old age I presume.

 

[HideInLight]

Whoever filmed it, didn't film the faces unfortunately.

 

[Flanders]

Absolutely sickening.

 

[wolverine_dcp]

Wtf that was hectic like something from wrong turn

 

[HideInLight]

Someone screaming Amandla, Amandla!?

 

[mike6870]

Media will NOT report on this. Elections were pronounced "free & fair" by Zimbabwean observers, no less...the same way most murders/hatecrimes are not reported on ...

[skimread]

A public holiday wouldn't be complete without a mob killing

Deliberately.
