'It's not easy to forgive'

[STS]

He's 80 years old. When an 80 year old man says he finds it hard to forgive, it means something.

and it's not because the guy was white, it was for what he did. simply because the attack was racially motivated does not mean that the grudge is racially motivated

Holy crap! an actual racist human being got into my cloud cuckoo land

Somewhat more accurate

So many black and white people get killed and raped in SA, what is so special about the guy in the original article ?

Reminds me of that cyclist that died in a car accident that is being sensationalised.

Am I missing something ?

You don't remember the Skrielik shooting do you?

Yep 80 year old man, I read it as just showing the depth or severity of the pain and hurt caused in that shooting.

 

[Vrotappel]

At least he is in jail. Will the newspaper do follow-ups on all racially motivated crime victims? Otherwise this story does not make much sense.

I also find it diffucult to forgive you stupid f**ks for all the killing and raping your species is doing in this country. Just look at the news papers. Woman raped, stabbed and hit with garden fork and also almost killed in her home. AND FOR WHAT!

Wow!! An Alien on myBB. :erm:

Agreed. I'd probably also give the shooter the finger and tell the mayor to go jump if he asked me to forgive the idiot that shot me and caused permanent damage to me through no fault of my own.

It's more about the Skrielik shooting victims than racially motivated crime victims in general I think. Newspapers would run out of ink if they had to do every story of a racially motivated attack.

Yes, the sad reality is that there are too many incidents of violent crime, whether racially motivated or not.
Personally I would like to see the death penalty reinstated, and I would like to see that law enforcement and justice is consistently and fairly being applied. If you do not value anyone else's life, and harm them, you should be removed from society, and if you commit murder, you do not deserve to live.

They should have put that guy down.

Someone tried, but he ended up with compensation

Jokes guys.

Common sense. This is about a particular crime. There are posts about other crimes. They didn't mention this one.

 

[Bar0n]

I didn't say I have no sympathy for him. I ask why get the article pubished but what about other people that lost loved ones ?

The new trend on forums is the following:

* Victim is white: give support, complain about state of country, and spew something racist.
* Victim is black: mention how badly white people are victims of crime, and ask why white victims aren't mentioned.
