Interesting keywords. ;)
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."

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?
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.
the good old days

You might get a kick out of this.
The time in South Africa is about 4 years 'til Zimbabwe.
I didn't care for the old government, but replacing it with commies was foolish.
Ahhh Africa.....Just Ahhhh, that's it.
Well done lads!
It is still somehow all the Afrikaaner's fault, for having apartheid in the first place. /sarc/ and don't think many don't analyze it that way.
Huh?
National police spokesperson Phuti Setati said taking the law into one's own hands was "not allowed, and will never be tolerated."
"We do not encourage people to go around taking the law into their own hands. Instead if possible, we encourage them to effect citizen's arrest and call the police," he told AFP..........................Hey Phuti, feeling a little job insecurity there buddy.
I recall that South Africa has a total gun ban for its citizens. Funny how the criminals were armed.
"The reason citizens respond the way they do is because they have lost confidence not only in the police but the whole criminal justice system," said Antoinette Louw of the Pretoria-based Institute for Security Studies (ISS).
We're not so far away from that here in the US.
More "civilized" people need to figure this one out before things REALLY get out of hand. Sometimes, yes... you do have to kill someone to protect yourself. It sucks, but there it is. Wishing and idiotic laws won't make this little factoid go away.
