'It was like a movie': Bullets fly as gang with AK-47s storms Benoni mall

[Okty]

"The suspects came here with three vehicles and they stole clothes, and I am not sure about the money. I quickly took cover after seeing them, it was like a movie," one eyewitness said.

According to the police, the suspects fired shots randomly, injuring a female worker at one of the stores.

I assume must be a "high-end fashion brand" cloth store, since I assumed when I read the story they were initially targeting a cellphone store.

And luckily no one got killed with these lot.

A car guard added they felt exposed.

Brah, I don't know what lies you have been told, but you "car guards" are just glorified charity tokens at the end of the day.

We can buy automatic weapons as normal citizens in SA?

Sadly no...

 

[OhYeah84]

This country is becoming more and more lawless by the day.
Where the F are the cops? How about having a physical presence. Get the hat wearing minister to do something instead of dancing to a 1980s disco hit!

So how many innocent civilians will become collateral damage with your idea to just allow a free for all Wild West gun policy?

Less than now. 67 die a day already. What is your solution?

 

[OhYeah84]

Arm up and fight when needed, naturally. Nobody is going to do it for you. There is virtually no police left. There is almost no army left. That leaves you and the criminals. What did you think?

Lol...takes about 3 years to renew a gun license. Can you imagine all the people who SHOULDN'T have a gun actually walking around with one in this country? Debacle of note. You'd have far more than 67 murders a day.

Cops dont care...
You are on your own here...

Cops dont care...

For sure...that's why they hold up in the cop shop!

Firstly, this goes to show how dangerous South Africa is becoming.

Becoming?
We have been there for a while already.

They're like little mobile virtue signaling stations.

His solution was to run away to Europe and call the shots from the comfort of his armchair...

Cele will be calling for his arrest very soon.
Can't have colonisers taking the law in their own hands.

That is what I was thinking

 

[Senor]

15 criminals, with rifles, stealing clothing! If that's not a sign of exactly how dire things have become in this **** hole, then what is?

Well, at least they will be well dressed criminals for the next heist.

All those people asking why did no-one help....
Probably because the law is skewed in the criminals favour....

Unless you are armed, have some training and are quite prepared for a legal ball ache and a chance of dying...

Crime will only get worse here...be it this type of crime or the endless lines of nyope boys looking to steal what they can...I saw two on my cameras yesterday gapping it across the veld with....a stolen wheelchair.....

This is the South Africa the cANCer has bestowed upon us...Squirrel and all his comrades....
But I blame the voters.

Would you have any worries as a criminal with a 'teacher' heading up the pigo force?

 

[wingnut771]

Where do these AK-47's come from. How old are they now? Where does the ammo come from?

That recent mass shooting in the US was stopped by someone carrying a gun who didn't need a permit or mandated training because the state has constitutional carry. The guy was taught by his grandfather and saved many lives that day.

But yeah much better for us in SA to stay easy victims and let 15 robbers shoot illegal police/military rifles randomly in malls with zero opposition.
