Farm Attacks

Pitbull said:
Then you go and preach your little "Security detail" to "your" CPF people to avoid being attacked.

Don't blame victims, it's farking disgusting...

I'm the King of Scotland... (See how easy that was) I'm not here to test your little claims or how much of an security expert you are and that you drive 8k kms a month on CPF patrols. Stop using other people's pain and suffering to push your little agenda. I'm honestly sick of seeing you victim blaming people who you have no knowledge of, or even their circumstance.

You don't have anything good to add, stfu. Simple.

Make me
 
Come on guys why are you fighting each other ?
Please try and concentrate on fighting the perps ....

ALL people living in rural areas should prepare themselves so that WHEN they are attacked they have a properly prepared plan of action -- and resistance

Anything else is being blind to reality

I've been thinking about buying a small farm with some of the bargains I've seen on sale lately. I wouldn't be crazy enough to actually live on it, but I want to try cultivating a few exotic fruits that I think would grow well here and might actually sell well. I don't see farm attacks decreasing in the future though so I'm on the fence on doing it.

100%. Does not even have to be a farm, a small holding would work initially.
 
"The couple was taken to hospital for medical care. A case of house robbery is under investigation."

How about adding arson and attempted murder? :rolleyes:

Guess they'll get off a looking for work and trespassing when this is done ... if they're caught.

Place I am looking at seems somewhat safe at the moment down in the humid subtropical belt in the eastern part of the Eastern Cape. Lots of access to water with a few streams running through, a largish bass dam and a borehole. The farmhouse and sheds have fallen apart as it's been empty for almost 25 years. I have no farming experience though and I'm just in the thought process as the trees that I have sprouted from seeds are doing extremely well, in my backyard even further south in the arid PE environment, and the main one is one of those up and coming superfruits that are becoming popular around the world, but almost impossible to get in SA.

This is why you shoot first! It could have ended very badly ...
 
I would never advocate , shooting your attackers , then burying them on a piece of land which nobody could ever find ,also do not torture them before you "hand"them over , obviously they travelled 10km on your only access dirt road just to steal your nokia 3310 and 26 inch tv.
