Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe has said that people who murdered white farmers during a government-sanctioned purge in the 2000s will never be prosecuted.

The 93-year-old president addressed a rally in Harare on Monday to mark Heroes’ Day, which commemorates soldiers who have fought for the country, particularly in its independence war against British colonizers.

From newssqueak. I figured if you wanna read the newsqueak piece at the link, have at it. Sounds like open season on white farmers in zim bala bing way. Wasn't there a FReeper that lived someplace in Africa that used to post about the trouble coming their way? Anyway. from previous pieces, apparently the farms that were given over to bobby's buddies have, for the most part, failed since then. Thriving enterprise to fallow.

Must of got the idea from Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe: send the cops to a donut shop when left-wing extremists are rioting.

To come to this country if people do not wake up.

IE, by now someone should have taken steps to counter the leftists in this country. Back in the day, stuff like what is going on now, wouldnt have been tolerated.

I guess those white farmers had previously been disarmed?

Just a guess.

Must be in the genes Many Blacks in the US have the same philosophy, if you kill a white, you shouldn’t be prosecuted.

Not unlike the police standing down here to allow the daily assaults by Africans on whites here in the US that oppose the fascist pigs on the left. And all while the old media simply ignores the crime stats.

Why is this "news" 17 years after the fact?
Have black farmers robustly succeeded in restoring a functional agricultural sector?
