Farm Attacks

That's like saying all black people are thieves because one black guy stole my stuff.

True, the issue though is this single one incident is plastered all over the news. The masses read this and feel justified in their hatred on farmers in general.

Not that I approve, but that is what's currently happening.

It's exactly the same and the media branding some trailer trash scrap dealer as a farmer and pretending that their is a spade of attacks against farm workers is purposefully stirring shît. This is on the same level as the white genocide crowd.

Maybe he isn't just a farmer but a hustler as well, but I bet such doubts would not arise if headline read, " farmer attacked on a plot in Springs", it would just be lapped up as another farm attack.

And it would be in that case.

Let's then continue in that spirit, not once has anybody questioned, is a farm?, is it not a farm?, can a farmer also be a scrap dealer? nothing of that sort has ever happened in this thread, I don't like things that changes suddenly.
 
Ten farmers (Read real farmers) murdered out of a community of fifty farmers. 20% murdered.

Now take a suburb of a million people, murder 20% of them.
What does one call that?

Accidents?

What are you getting to? Are we still discussing the article or are on something else?

Where and when did that happen?

The problem isn't with the definition of a farmer that bit was just slightly amusing. The problem is with the tone of the article.
 
The problem with these attacks is the gratuitous violence / murder / torture of the victims.

That sort of disqualifies the soft target argument, and is what leads to the genocide theory.

So, why are the victims tortured and maimed before being murdered ?

Explain that, and you will have your answer.

In the community I lived and farmed in. I can send you the details and names some of them were very close friends, almost family. Sold the farms 300 people without work as new owner went mechanised and cattle only.

Definitely should not compare genocidal maniacs of German South West Africa to South Africa.

I read a book a while back about what the Germans got up to there. Really sad, and provides a bit of insight into what they got up to in Europe a bit later...
 
Thread is farm attacks, why would anyone bother 'conveniently forgetting' anything about some decades old Germans in another country :erm: The off topic tangent some of you go on is nuts.

And as usual its conveniently forgotten about.

Yup, complete genocide. Hunting down people and killing them, concentration camps at Swakopmund and Walvis. All in the interests of creating space for their expansion. And it wasn't even that long ago in the overall scheme of things.

Yup, it probably deserves its own thread rather.

The irony genocide proponents not recognising genocide makes things interesting around here.

You’d have to ask an attacker but a plausible explanation might be that the farmer family has “exploited” (in their view) their family or community during apartheid and they see it as an eye for an eye.

It seems more credible than a genocide. A genocide, you could easily organize professional ex soldiers that would avoid being filmed or caught from time to
time and who would burn the farm (and the victim) afterwards to leave no evidence.
