Dad shot saving kids

[schumi]

Durban - As fathers were fêted nationally on Sunday, an Overport dad showed his ultimate love for his children by taking the full force of a hijacker’s bullet to protect them.

And despite being shot in the face, Jameel Kader, 37, was more concerned about his wife and four young daughters, who have hailed him a hero.

The brutal attack outside their home took place as concerns were voiced about criminals targeting Muslims, especially women and children, during Ramadaan.

Kader underwent eight hours of reconstructive surgery to his lower jaw on Monday.

i read that article and they guy is a fool for throwing his keys over the wall or even fighting back, your life is more important than your car. i understand that you have to fight back but in that situation when you have your kids around i would have given them my keys. those guys that robbed deserve to die IMO, but his a dumbass for fighting back.

Agreed robbery now becomes something completely different , why is it that certain groups always need to be the victims.

Bullet to the jaw. I can almost imagine how painful that must be.

The father's cousin threw the keys over the wall. The father must have panicked when he saw that which escalated things. If there was a young child still strapped in the car, I would have done that. Better than having them drive off with my child. I am sure there are a few people that have been held up with guns on these forums. Until you have had the experience, you will never understand the sheer terror or panic that can overwhelm you in a second in situations like these.
