Problem is that the government would rather have soft targets that is why we have all the BS with the firearm applications. If it doesnt get lost it is denied with "not convinced of need" as the reason. Gotta love the pigs :D

Thanks, all. Good idea on the phone-trace, but where can I get it done? Also, he might well have sold it already or something.

You can call Vodacom, 111 (I think) if you're on Voda that is, not sure if they do the whole tracing thing too.

Have the phone and sim blocked so that the c*nts don't use it to make calls.
 
Make sure you write down a description before it gets too vague.

Clothes & shoes are also more important than people think because robbers don't change them that often.

All the details, even the individual denomination of your cash..

Yeah, I've cancelled my number and cards but it was still a ton of cash I won't get back... :(

Didn't bother reporting it but I suppose just for the record I'll do that tomorow. If I drive past there and see him again I'll try getting a photo of him (and let him see me do it) then hopefully sometime I can get behind him and smash his face in with this baton :mad:

Suggest you put it down to experience. This guy will be far more clued up than you in a fight and, as you said, he carries a big knife, which he will use.
 
The main thing is you're ok Mastercarder. I know that won't make you feel better right now but you're here to tell the story to us. Things could've been alot worse right now for you and your family. Be strong. Regarding the tracing, you need to report a case with Vodacom, and then report it to the SAPS. Insist that they request Vcom to trace the handset. Don't know how it works with the other networks though.

Another thing I forgot to mention, not sure which bank you're with, but I know when I had my Standard Bank cards stolen, even tho I had it cancelled, I was still able to monitor any upcomming activity or attempts to use the card via Standard bank.

Yeah, I'm with Vodacom so I think i'll give that a try. Not too optimistic of them actualy giving a damn though :sick:

Duh... White people don't commit crime :rolleyes:

Yes, but when considering that with crime that is the only real area conforming to the correct distribution by national standards and BEE/AA regulations. The excessive violence is of course a unique ethnic African trait.

Was your drivers license taken? Is there a chance he might now know where you live?

Glad you're ok. Take care if you decide to take matters into you own hands.
 
Sorry about what happened to you. However you were quite lucky the guy didn't just stab you for fun. I've seen a lot of cases where the attacker just stabs the victim for fun after taking the cellphone/wallet etc.

Unfortunately, the reality is that the "be still and hope they don't kill you" doesn't always work. Which is why, whenever possible, one should eliminate the threat of death--e.g. a knife--with a "righteous shooting." Feel free to take out the BG before he takes you out. Good luck with getting an SA gun permit though. There's a reason the US has an amendment, "the right to to keep and to bear arms." It has very little to do with shooting birds and a lot to do with crime and government. And the SA gov't has successfully eliminated the means of the people to resist them.

True, you do not hear whities robbing people in the street. Funny thing...when you go out to eat anywhere, how often do you see white people as waiters ? Lately been taking note and not once in the last month anywhere in Sandton

Papas
Pegalle
Ogalitos Hatfield/Sandton
Crawdaddys
Del Salute - could be the owners kids..

White waiters all over Cape Town... I think there are some in my friends restaurant in Sandton as well.

I'd get some water balloons, a paint ball gun, silly string anything else annoying and do some drive bys on the area. If you see the guy than I would lay it all on him and than drive like mad out of there (in case he has a gun also). Just piss this guy off as much as you can from a distance.

You'll atleast get some form of satisfaction. :D

Well for one statistics and history in Africa proves it. There must be a reason for this propensity towards violent behaviour. Why murder a 69 year old man for a cell phone if it could just have been taken without any force? . For two scientists have found recently strong evidence that links violence to genes. Three the rest is pure logic. In Africa we have so many great examples.

The Search for a Murder Gene
http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1004083-1,00.html

One possible answer began to emerge after a Dutch woman consulted her doctor about whether to have kids. Her family had a history of violence, including rape and attempted murder. Would her children be violent too, she asked? Her doctor consulted geneticist Hans Brunner, who discovered that the family carried a defective gene: it made too much of an enzyme, called monoamine oxidase A, resulting in excessive destruction of neurotransmitters that help keep us calm and happy.

The finding thrilled some scientists--here, finally, was an explanation for criminality--and appalled others, who feared that if genes dictate behavior, it could lead to genetic typecasting of entire races. But lots of violent men don't have the defective gene, while many noncriminals do. Here, too, the simple explanation was clearly not the whole story.

Aggression-related gene weakens brain's impulse control circuits

http://www.bio-medicine.org/biology...akens-brains-impulse-control-circuits-2480-1/

Several previous studies had linked increased serotonin during development with violence and the L version of MAO-A. For example, a 2002 study* by NIMH-funded researchers discovered that the gene's effects depend on interactions with environmental hard knocks: men with L were more prone to impulsive violence, but only if they were abused as children.

"Heightened sensitivity in brain circuits important to cognitive inhibition and memory for negative emotional information may contribute to increased vulnerability of men with L exposed to abuse during childhood," suggested Weinberger. "Since only men showed gene effects in several of these circuits, this could lead to a situation where multiple brain control mechanisms are impaired and contribute to manifestly violent behavior, a kind of genetic double jeopardy."

What triggers the violence within?
http://technology.newscientist.com/channel/tech/weapons/mg14119143.900

'If I had my say, I'd rather they didn't study it,' says evolutionary geneticist Richard Lewontin of Harvard University. 'Because the very act of studying it, spending public money on it, publishing it in the newspapers, validates it as being important. Whereas it has no practical consequence except for a very important ideological one: it says, 'Ah, you see, it's genes that make people violent'.'
Of all the charges, the most inflammatory is that the research


Ferocious mice
Biologists who want to make a case for an 'aggression' gene need only point to the rabid pit bull terriers and fighting cocks that people have bred to serve or entertain them, and the ferocious strains of mice, rabbits and guinea pigs bred by behavioural biologists. Some of these animals are so fierce that they will jump out of their cages and bury their teeth in the flesh of their handlers. The link to genes seems clear: Stephen Maxson of the University of Connecticut at Storrs has mice whose belligerence depends on the particular Y chromosome they possess. Stephen Suomi at the National Institutes of Health has rhesus monkeys whose tendency to get involved in fights is, he says, clearly genetic. Offspring of aggressive monkeys fight longer and harder than others, even when raised apart from their biological parent

So go do your own research and you will find proposed evidence to these genes that effect violence behaviour. This gene were found to be problematic in Afro Americans and Maoris. There was also a Medical journal report on a break through a few years ago but unfortunately I cannot find it.
