"One of the robbers held out Mindie's boots to her and said he was going to give them to his wife.

"She was calm and just said: 'That's wonderful. You can have them'.

How can crime be because of poverty if this guy is going to give the boots to his wife and not sell it for food.

Well on the flipside, if he didn't have a wife he cared for he probably would've cut her finger off to get the ring.

Who said crime was due to poverty? Crime in SA is because of greed.

Well, there are a number of online communities if you are that way inclined, but how is it relevant to the topic?

Seriously. This dude is shot dead in his bed, but that doesn't make the headlines -- it's not news any more.

And *that* is sad.

Yes thats exactly what makes me angry!!!

Deep down inside I pray I can catch one of these guys in the act and gain the advantage but alas many would say thats the wrong way to think :/ I beg to differ though.

Anyway maybe the media is also on strike or did I not read somewhere that Mbeki has asked the media to not report such matters in order to try change the publics' perception on crime in SA??
