Marikana trial: Did tear gas, stun grenades fired at miners cause chaos?

[Cosmik Debris]

You are comparing an average every day event with a traumatic incident. You are full of s**t.

In case you did not know, the average police officer do not go around on a daily basis shooting and killing people. So, he or she is likely not going to remember what they did on any specific day one, two, five, ten or twenty years ago.

But, ask them about any shooting event where they either shot and wounded or shot and killed a person, no matter how long ago. Same with any person who has been shot at, wounded or experienced a traumatic event.

Care to comment on the murders at scene 2 at Marikana that occurred an hour after the initial shooting?

What were you doing during that Marikana massacure? Can you give a description of everything you did in that month. The weather, what you ate, the conversations you had etc?

I can still recall the day i almost shot a thief running away - 19-20 years ago.
The day 4 fckers shot a Bmw driver through his window next to us at a Red light outside Kempton Park, Sunday AFternoon - 23-24 years ago.

How much do you recall? Could you pick them out from a lineup? Do you know what they were wearing? What sort of day was it?

How much detail do you recall?

They were wearing balaclavas - the okes who shot the BMW driver. Pistol to my knowledge was a 9mm Norinco.
Was a sunny Sunday afternoon. Anycase - don't troll me. Just giving an example from my miffed memory.

During February 2004, about 17 years ago, my neighbour went on a business trip. That evening his wife pitched up at my door, and like we always do, had a quick chat. Since the normal 'Hi, how are you?" and "How is hubby doing?" ended, and she was still standing there, I assumed there was some more serious discussions to come, so I invited her in.

We had coffee, she sat on my 3 seater leather couch, she wore a red dress. I opposite her on my one seater couch. We had some talk about her husband being away, her not being happy, problems at her work etc., etc. One talk lead to the next and I saw she had no panties, since she opened her legs and kept it open. She was shaved clean. One thing lead to the next and we ended up in my bed having sex that night.

I do not remember that night because of her, but the fact that she woke me up at 2am saying there was someone in the yard and that she heard noises. I was naked when I jumped out of the bed and looked through the window and saw two men, one dressed in a jean and white Tshirt and one in a blue or black overall pushing my car out the driveway. I saw this because of a street light being on right at my gate.

Took me a few seconds to grab my boxers, jump into them and run out the front door with no shirt on. I saw the one with the overall jumping into the passenger side and they took off with my car.

So, there is nothing wrong with memories of long time ago. People can clearly remember if it is worth remembering.

And if you follow up with the other people do they have the same recollection?

Just find it interesting given what I have read about memory in the past.

I find that my own recollecting isn't always accurate even though I could swear my memory was perfect.

When do the witchdoctors get there turn to explain why the muti that makes people bulletproof failed to work?

The sangoma clearly told them not to kill the rabbit.

Rabbit blamed for Lonmin deaths

A rabbit that was killed before the deadly shootout at Lonmin may be the reason the tragedy happened, some of the survivors believe.
