"5 robbers killed in shootout
21/01/2009 22:46  - (SA) 

Johannesburg - KwaZulu-Natal police shot dead five suspected robbers and arrested four others in Camperdown on Wednesday.

Superintendent Henry Budhram said police received a tip-off about nine armed men on a minibus taxi on their way to Pietermaritzburg, allegedly to commit a robbery.

Police followed the vehicle and stopped it before the Lion Park turn-off on the N3.

"The suspects alighted and fired shots at the police who returned fire. Five robbers were killed and four were arrested," said Budhram. "

They should have shot them all.......

Do you know how many people would be left on earth if all robbers were shtß These guys are mostly small fishes. What about the guys in the high places? What would we do to them? They're making millions and billions with "legal" crookery?????

Sadly  so  where  have we  ended up ?? .. we   have  joy  when a bunch of brazen thieves are shot ... ??
Sadly so its a direct result of  breakdown of law and  order in this country making  the  thieves  so  brazen and us so pissed off ..
So  therefore  when we  read about it we feel satisfied .... some  form of justice has  occured ,, maybe it will be a warning ??
Not  that  saying it in this  way is going to make  me not feel the same  next time I  read  about another  incident like this .. but yes my  inner awarenes  tells me that  by  expressing  this satisfaction  I am  no better  than them .??
Also desensitised ??

Everybody is upset about the pirates in the Redsea. Would anybody dare to be upset about the pirate Sir Francis Drake? No! Why? Because Britain wanted a hero to demonstrate their power by believing he had conquered the Armada.
And even that isn't true. The Armada was actualy sunk in a storm.
That's one of the reasons I believe in liberalism...

@ Jnr .. why the label  liberal ??  what exactly does liberalism mean ?  I would prefer  to say  using my conscience  in    all thoughts and actions ..  circumstances differ for each  happening , so our  reaction  emotionaly / mentally  and yes in our  physical  reactions  would differ .. its flexible enough and if one just keeps in mind to consider the consequences of our reactions ie; try  to  do no harm or think no harm , but yes if circumstances   require it then  .. ahh its so difficult  but  yes I  prefer a flexible approach   its a reasonable gaurantee against being walked over  or doing major harm ..   both of which have consequences ...

A few years ago justs after my aunt's murder, i said to my daughter who was 10 at the time "I wish everybody with any criminal intentions specially murderers, rapists & child abusers would just disappear off the face of this earth and leave the rest of us to live in peace".  Her response - "we'd probably be very surprised at who leaves and who stays".........quite insightful for a 10 year old and so true.

Clever girl your daughter.

yes very true. Where exactly do you 'draw the line', and then again innocent people have been jailed and executed in years gone by. Very difficult to determine what to do.
