South Africa is a lawless hellhole. A thousand times worse than the worst places in the US.

[PLMerite]

South Africa. Lucky they didn’t just kill him.

[HammerT]

That kind of robbery probably happens all the time – it’s just that with this case it was caught on camera.

As I said, it’s an object lesson for all.

If those ‘gentlemen’ and possible sons o’ Barrack had chosen to, they could have shot the mountain biker.

There were no police in the area to help this man, and even if he had tried to call them it would have made no difference.

But that’s what the gun grabbers want for everyone.

This is odd. Judging from the primary perp’s appearance and Andean style cap, called a ‘Chullo’, I would think this would be South America, not South Africa.

[babble-on]

Civilization has lost the fight in South Africa.

[babble-on]

there’s a whole lot of ethnic diversity in South Africa.

I appreciate the description of the video (cannot watch from work, and far too few people offer a description).

How and where do you carry when riding?

Could you have drawn quick enough in this rider’s situation?

You’d better have answers to both, before pronouncing carrying as your solution.

[HammerT]

Thanks - but I can’t take credit for that, it being in the original story.

But Including a video description is a very good idea for just that reason.

[HammerT]

That usually begins when the gun grabbers win and disarm the law-abiding.

[HammerT]

That happened to someone else, but some sort of inside the waistband holster may do.

At least if he had been armed he would have had a fighting chance, he had none without a gun.

What is Your solution to the problem?

[HammerT]

That’s by the information at hand.

[Roman_War_Criminal]

Didn’t know it was SA....yeah a submachine gun would have been a good choice knowing that ;)

[Roman_War_Criminal]

Thanks!

[G Larry]

Carry where you KNOW, through practice, that you can get to it from a riding position.

I submit that the waist band is a piss poor position, when slumped over the handle bars of a bike.

[HammerT]

You’d better have answers to both, before pronouncing carrying as your solution.

Are you arguing about types of carry or the idea of carrying at all?

[Lisbon1940]

Me, myself or I. The guy is grammatically challenged.

[HammerT]

So what’s a bigger issue these days:

An overreaching and oppressive socialist government, Terrorism from the Islamo fascists, Iran building Nuclear weapons, Trillions in debt, Our money being devalued by ‘quantitative easing’, the coming crash of the economy, Afghanistan reverting to a terrorist haven, Red China and Russia on the march, Obamacare destroying freedom and bankrupting the country, etc…

OR

Nitpicking the Grammar of a news story?

[babble-on]

Just checking, are you under the impression that South Africa has strict gun control laws?
