SA:Girlfriend fires 2 Shots at Armed Home Invaders; video

In this video from South Africa, we see the clear utility of an alarm system and or a dog.   Neither were available in this case, and it was only luck or God that aided the armed residents.  The cats were useless.

With today's technology, audio would be an easy addition. 

The residents are armed with revolvers, likely five shot revolvers, because the frame appears fairly small.   It is something to consider that there were three invaders, and the woman fired two shots, without any obvious hits.  Clearly, more firepower is called for.

I believe that it is easier to obtain the very restrictive firearms permits for revolvers in South Africa than for semi-autos.   AK-47s are said to be cheap on  the black market, but that does not help law abiding people, who are vigorously prosecuted for "gun crimes".

The crime rate in South Africa is one of the highest in the world.

She seems to be using a good isocoles shooting stance. To bad she missed. A couple of small dogs would be as easy to take care of as the cats.

[marktwain]

isocoles should be isosceles...

The cats were useless.

Redundant statement.

A white chick shooting at black burglars in her own home?

She should be arrested for racism.

I guess you sleep with a gun in your hand in South Africa. I here it’s beautiful and the weather’s nice, but..

[demshateGod]

here should be hear.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Coming to America.

[boycott]

Does he sleep with the gun in his hands?

She should be arrested for racism.

Of course I recognize this as sarcasm. Now that there is a significant application of laws and by a black judiciary. White people are at an incredible disadvantage. There is a question here.

Could she, as in England, then be prosecuted for murder - or even manslaughter? To fire warning shots and get their evil selves out quickly could have served the purpose.

I smile sadly as I read of one of the foremost anti-apartheid women, an author. White of course. She now lives in somewhat nervous circumstances, as thugs broke into her house and shoved her maid aside. She was lucky, possibly they recognized her and only stole a few things including her wedding ring.

Nadine Gordimer. 1915-2006. Noted Anti-Apartheit activist. Was attacked by black intruders. Refused to go into gated community when urged by friends. I would suppose that to have to go into a heavily fortified enclave, would prove something. It would expose her ideological dream as a nightmare.

Sad to think of the millions of delusional people working to make the world better, as they ruthlessly destroy positive lives and institutions.

“The cats were useless.”

It’s Africa...she needs to find right kind of cat.... one with spots, that roars!;)

[TigersEye]

The cats were useless.

Cats ignore people. It's what they do.

[riverrunner]

Very lucky they were a bit on the timid side.

A small yappy dog is very useful for waking you up.

Just a few seconds of warning is huge in situations like this.

[T-Bone Texan]

I have dogs specifically for this reason.

I love them, but they are not pets.
