National police spokesperson Phuti Setati said taking the law into one's own hands was "not allowed, and will never be tolerated."

That might be true but it sure will "take a bite out of crime." It's difficult to commit a crime when you're dead. (Unless you're a DemocRAT).

The locals raised their glasses as the robbers lay dying and then rang the police. As one of the drinkers told the Beeld newspaper: "They died slowly, we all stood and laughed."

Well I was laughing when I read that!!

"Two suspected rapists were killed in the same city several weeks ago when a mob dragged them from a police car and stoned them to death shortly after their arrest."

Kriel said that he would neither "criticise nor condone" the practice of opening fire before calling the police

Mighty white of him.

"Citizens feel they live in danger, and sometimes waiting for cops is a huge time delay," he said.

While the white middle-class can afford to invest in hi-tech security systems in order to prevent their homes being targeted, residents in the black townships cannot afford such luxuries

Write to Mr Mugabe, and ask him how to handle this inequity. Zimabawe solved that problem quite handily.

On second thought, better send a runner; the Zimbabwe phone system miight be down. Better give him a pack of food & water too; he probably wouldn't find any place to buy any, once he crossed the border.

"This promotes the idea of people dealing with criminals their own way. They are fed up," he added.

I thought the Lefty mantra was "Power to the People!"? So what's his complaint?

In one of the latest such incidents, three members of an armed gang were killed when a local at a pub in the suburb of Emmarentia opened fire as they robbed and pistol-whipped customers earlier this month.
The locals raised their glasses as the robbers lay dying and then rang the police. As one of the drinkers told the Beeld newspaper: "They died slowly, we all stood and laughed."

That'll happen.

We'll be seeing it here if things keep going the way they are. People have a right to defend themselves.

My local news featured the local rise in home break ins tonight. Most prominent was a criminal defense lawyer telling us how careful we must be in deciding to pull the trigger on such an animal. Better be nice to those thugs or you might get sued into oblivion. I guess if someone breaks down my door while I'm home, I'm going to jail and will be destitute, because my response will be to empty the clip into him.

I thought SA was utopia now that Mandella saved them?

I didn't care for the old government, but replacing it with commies was foolish.

That depends upon WHO follows Mbeki.

Ahhh Africa.....Just Ahhhh, that's it.
