Old man applauded by social media users for fighting off would be criminals

[dualmeister]

A video has gone viral on social media, showing an old man fighting about five thugs who clearly intended to rob or hijack a vehicle carrying what looked like his family.

The incident happened at Klerksdorp CBD in North West province. Residents there told The Star that crime has increased.

In the video captured by a local woman, five thugs approach a SUV with occupants inside. The old man, carrying only what looked like a knife, is seen determined to fight off the thugs.

pack of hyenas

Perfect analogy.

Thumbs up to the guy. But I despair of these millennial journos: "grey hair = old man". FFS, the dude is probably only about late 50's. Hardly old.

The most tragic thing about that is that no one cared to help the guy.

Cele probably: "We must license and prohibit usage of knives due to this video. Basic human rights for the poor street dwellers"

Yes, leading by example is a thing in SA.

And the fact that these thugs simply stroll away like this is a normal Tuesday. No consequence for their actions, no threat of imminent arrest or justice.

On my phone, so cant type everything I want to say. To the woke crowd, why do we have to respect these lowlifes human rights?

What benefit to our communities do they bring?
