It’s getting close out there...............
South Africa has a murder rate that’s something like 15 times greater than ours.It’s one of the highest in the world.
When was South Africa ever a functional country?
Lame. I visualized SAW mounted to the roof.
I was there 20 years ago. Many houses had signs that said ‘XYZ SECURITY COMPANY - ARMED RESPONSE’
Has only gotten worse.
Such measures are not limited to South Africa.
A joke about the time of the “Irish Troubles”:
Sean: Brian, what did you do during the Troubles?
Brian: I was the tail gunner on a milk truck.
They need those in Newark, Minneapolis, Atlanta and dozens of other liberal US cities.
Car Wars is getting closer and closer!
“But capitalization is key.”
yeah, no shite Sherlock! ... gotta get plenty o’ that OPM to fund my crazy pipedream!
Discharging one’s personal protection from the inside of a vehicle is loud. One suggestion is to keep a pair of ear muffs next to the 9mm in the center console. In case of an emergency pull on the ear muffs, rack the 9mm, lower your window 4 inches, select a target, and remember to exhale before you squeeze the trigger. Repeat as necessary.

South Africa was a first world country in the 90’s, now it is barely third world.

The US bought several Casspirs from South Africa in the early Oughties for use in the 2nd Gulf War -- because even the "up-armored" HMMWV didn't pass muster for buried IEDs -- before DoD's procurement system could have any built on their own.
CZ Scorpion Evo 3 (availble in select fire) not included.
Fabrique Nationale Fusil Automatique Léger (FN FAL), right arm of the free world.
The chap at furthest left appear to be cradling an M1918 Browning automatic rifle (which also has been manufactured by FN).
That species is just sooo easy to live with.
Sad story, South Africa.
A nation destroyed by western (US and Euro) moralistic racial grandstanding which didn’t even apply!
We projected our racial past and conflict onto them.
Most the blacks in South Africa weren’t brought there as slaves.
Most the blacks came AFTER the place developed.
Most the conflict there was between the various black factions, NOT white on black. The former government of South Africa was keeping them apart, trying to prevent them from slaughtering each other.
Mandela was not some peaceful guy, he was an unrepentant terrorist and even given a chance to leave prison early if he just promises to renounce violence.
South Africa was an ally and we backed them through the Cold War since they stood against the Communists.
But then once the Cold War ended, we turned on them (didn’t need them anymore) and PROJECTED our BS race politics onto them.
Today, few talk about how South Africa has been in a low intensity civil war with more blacks dying than under Apparheit.
Few mention how this nation where the first heart transplant was performed, designed and built their own jet fighters, where you had universities on par with what you find in the US and Europe today has intermittent power outages in their cities, and roving gangs raping women in the city in broad daylight...
Yeah i had wanted the side flamethrowers when i first saw them. It would work too well to save someone though so we cant import them.
Still we can make our own....
