Farm Attacks

All that I am seeing on that Twitter feed is farm murders now being excused for assaults like these. If there is a crime, report it, if the person who captured the footage was responsible he/she would also report the crime.

I guess, seeing that the EFF is hastagged that the 'crime' was reported.

Behaviour like this needs to be condemned, but context still and always applies. We simply don't know what happened there, and it isn't for the public to be elementary.

Don't bite please... just leave the bait alone. Excalibur is known for this... It's what he does.

I know. That's why I just highlighted his hypocrisy by asking for context and by highlighting stuff in the very Tweet he is posting on.

Okay, I'll bite. What is the context?

Are you suggest it should have happened like this?

He is suggesting people that are attacked and humiliated would get revenge, not commit genocide.

I mean the topic of revenge is only the premise of 50% of the crime dramas/thrillers out there, and the attackers often know the victim.

We need context for a guy beating up a worker in the field, do we ask for context after a farm murder?

It's definitely a difficult situation to be in. Some Mob justice might be the only justice you are going to get, but if you don't do a good enough job at it the criminal might come back.
 
Just another example of TDS colouring a pundit's view of something else. If anyone else had said the same thing no one would have been so against it. Instead you had people talking about it the same way that British aristocrat talked about Boer concentration camp deaths. "That's the normal death rate, don't think about it".
 
Not in the news (yet)

Friend at work told me this morning. His wife's sister lives on a small holding near Meyerton. They went to town for something and on arival at their plot found their 11 year old son on his knees supported by a rope around his neck. His head was hit open with an iron. She went to identify the boy yesterday as her sister is pregnant and can't deal with seeing her son like that. Face swollen with a huge cut in the forehead.

I need to stop reading south african news, or posts like this
 
I know this is MyBB, so logic goes over most peoples heads.
But I would like to start the discussion.

I really do not want to start a fight on this topic. But how do people living on rural areas not start protecting themselves?
Is it money? They dont have R5K for a handgun? Or is it the stigma of owning one?

As with another thread here I even confirmed we were told in Pietersburg by the security guard protecting the Garlic store people dont attack us was due to the amount of dogs we had.
But we also never left the children alone when we left the plot.

We did however have 1 incident where the outer wires were cut and some chickens might have been stolen, but we never left the safety of the house when we heard something outside. Even when the dogs went mad in the early morning hours.

Trust me, I know we have problems but reading things like this is not good for my health. I can feel the stress build up in my stomach and burning the lining.
