Captain Obvious here (for those who like playing dumb, and those who are genuinely retarded):

The current government is voted into power by idiots and criminals. If a criminal is shot, he might not be able to vote again, so the ANC loses a vote. They might as well change the terminology in the law to reflect their support of crime and criminals.

They always do. But then they check the facts and if it is deemed self defense etc then you are acquitted of the crime and the docket is closed.
