A murder is a murder and this is why the movement/cause isn't kicking off, we are all suffering in the country and trying to make it out as if this is a bigger issue than other things is what is alienating people. Not to mention the cause has attracted a great deal of white supremacist attention(and if you follow any video links in a farm murder thread anywhere, they all link to white supremacist channels and sometimes even antisemitic channels.)
I agree, the problem gets tainted by a-holes, but it's happening.
Something still needs to be done about it.
Even if the above is irrelevant, to the rest of your points
* Nobody is talking about it coz it will seem that they are pandering to white people when crime affects all equally
Of course, because keeping / saving face is more important than people being tortured and murdered at an alarmingly high rate.
* Where did Cyril flat out deny it? It seems like thee is someone who can GENUINELY help the cause and farmers but almost every poster on social media takes an opportunity to **** on him. From what I recall, he said there is NO GENOCIDE, not that farm murders weren't happening?
No idea who this guy is, but the first part of the video has the interview in question.
* Where is the evidence of "very little stolen"? Where are the stats? Every time I DO hear the result of an arrest it is someone that the farmer knew, had work for them or stuff was taken?
Afriforum has some stats. I usually hear or read about it in the news. Sometimes nothing is taken. Sometimes a cellphone, sometimes some weapons, sometimes a few thousand rand.
Like I said, very little -nothing that warrants hours and hours of torture ending in death.
(How does Afriforum get their stats? From the police and from going to every single farm murder scene to help any survivors -if there are any- with trauma counseling. First hand experience.)
It just feels like instead of looking for answers, people are creating their own boogeyman and making the situation worse. We ALL want farm murders to stop, but first the inconsistencies and lies have to stop
What inconsistencies and lies and from who?
Don't list some obscure racist group that no one's ever heard of. Those types never get any airtime -and if they do, definitely not enough to be remembered or known -as proven by
the fact that I can't name any off the top of my head.
We are not rhinos and gazelle's, we are people, and this is where the movement is suffering in that we are making 10 farmers more important than 100 township dwellers.
You might as well argue if it is better to let 10 people die to save 100 or 100 die to save 10 since we are trying to emotionally detach ourselves from the horror of murder in our country.
Did I say anywhere that one murder is more important than any other murder?
I don't know how else to say this anymore, so I'll try one last time:
I'm asking why this is still being ignored, nay, denied by the president of this country.
Why does he not publicly condemn it?
Why doesn't he bring back something like the commando's?
It's very doable. All it takes is a stroke of his pen and it's done.
Doing something about township murder issues is waaay more complicated.
And also BTW, as I mentioned to SS, this argument of
all the black people in townships vs a
profession is absolutely disingenuous.
Why don't we compare apples with apples?
Farmers vs (insert your profession of choice here)
Again, with intentional murders comes evidence. The government may be turning a blind eye to farm murders but they are turning a blind eye to virtually everything, including kids starving, corruption, the education system, the infrastructure, etc. Why not say the government is destroying the country than just allowing farm murders? Why narrow it down to one agenda?
I bet you if ambulance drivers (or any other
profession for that matter) were being murdered at the rate that farmers are, something would've been done ages ago.
(Yeah, I know, ambulance drivers have been attacked recently...but not tortured and murdered at the rate that farmers are.)
Look at what a big deal it is when a cop is killed on the job, but when it comes to farmers...mum's pretty much the word.
