The taxi industry is dangerous, Nxumalo needs that firearm.

I am batting for the oppressed minority today. I don't see govender being charged. Why is that?

 

[Hemi300c]

A very light sentence for the crime.

Should be 25yrs and no parole.

Who knows what damage the stolen firearms have done also he was in a position of power which should double his sentence.

 

[ForceFate]

Damn!

These cretins should be classified terrorists.

Good. One less scum bag around. Though how did they not catch him sooner? What about the paperwork trail - how can they just dissapear without anyone asking questions?!

Even 25 years is nothing considering the untold consequences (murders/crime/etc)/

Life without parole and nothing less.
(and only because I don't trust this "government" with the death penalty)

It should be life imprisonment.

The inmates are running the Asylum lol..

 

[Neptuner]

15 years... such a slap on the wrist. The crimes that must have been committed with all the weapons that he supplied, he must be an accessory to many murders. Hawks probably decided not to go down that rabbit hole. IDK 15 years seems like a joke.

Yea. I was wondering the same thing. Where are the procedures and protocols? And it makes me wonder how many more bad cops are out there exploiting this type of "oversight".

And holy fck moly. How does this guy sleep at night , all the murders committed with these weapons are on his hands too.

If I could count the number of things management and other people close to them get away with here at work I would probably fall asleep before I finish, procedures and protocols are for peasants.

O , I agree. My job is the same. But when working with firearms/crime etc, you would think these guys would put a tiny bit of effort into it.

True, but it's the same everywhere, procedures and protocols only start to matter when there is a mess and escapegoats are needed, many people get very comfortable and lose sight of that.
