A shame he did not kill the robber and all 3 others in the vehicle.

Robber probably always acts all thug, now everyone knows he runs like a little girl...

Pitty he missed.

Pitty he missed.

This is what worries me. Where did his bullets end up.

Hopefully inside the car and killed a few of those inside. Hopefully he wounded the robber who approached him and he died later.

Hopefully yes.

Someone mentioned in the comments of the original video that if you slowed it down to 0.25 speed you could see him being hit.

We can only hope that it would have turned out to be fatal.

South Africa has turned into a real bad place when it comes to crime. This country finds itself in a war zone. We do not want a good police force to investigate the crimes and make arrests. We want a police force that can prevent these crimes from happening without us having to lose family or friends.

Since the South African government failed the people, the time has come again for us to teach our children discipline and train them effectively in firearm handling, explosives and warfare. As can be seen from this video, equipping your children with these skills may just save their lives and ours too.

Two dudes standing in the driveway talking, car pulls up and the guy pulls a gun. Dude in shorts and a T shirt happens to be armed on a casual Sunday afternoon. Whats the back story here ?
Seems like they were planning a hit, and he's been expecting it.

Or he is just a sensible South African, who decided to obtain a firearm?

Agreed. The moment your firearm is no longer in reach of you at any point in time, chances are good you will die and become just another victim.

 

[ɹǝuuᴉM]

In South Africa, a gun is quickly becoming a necessity. Orcs are roaming freely. It is only a matter of time until it is your turn to be a victim.

 

[skeptic_SA]

This guys situational awareness is to be commended. His sights on target time is brilliant. Give that man a Bells.

I nearly died at the end of that video...

That guy has done firearms training, that's for sure. Love the way he kicks of the plakkies at the end...ready for more.

Criminals thought they were easy targets....FAIL.

Not going to help if it's locked in a gun safe.

Absolutely. What a c**t you have to be to be shot dead and it is later found you spent so much money, effort and time on gun licenses, purchasing, maintaining a firearm, training and more, and then you left it in a safe prior to your death. Today you sleep with your gun, you bath with your gun, you go to church with your gun, everywhere you go, your gun should be on your body. We are in a state of war in South Africa. These are not separate incidents of crime.

I received a WhatsApp with the video with the following message 'Guy in the blue shirt is the dad. Guy in white is his son. He dove back with a bike and he saw the merc following. He entered the boomed area and this slowed the merc down. He parked his bike next to his bakkie. His son came out to fetch the dog. The dad then watched the merc drive past his house slowly. He then thought they going to a neighbor. They then drove and made a u turn at the cul de sac at which point he said things did not seem right. The merc stopped infront of his house and first guy got out with a pistol. he then knew its a robbery.

Dont know the source.

This looks like what was posted on FB that seemed to be from the son.
