Horrible situation in SA, getting worse:

"A friend in the Eastern part of SA (well known for farm attacks) ca lled yesterday. Several days ago, his elderly neighbors were attacked in their ow n home by a gang of thugs. The attackers were armed with R4, military rifles . South African citizens are not allowed to own these. Guns used by these criminals had been stolen from the police.

The thugs tied the woman up and repeatedly raped her. She was also beaten so badly she was barely recognizable. Her husband too was tied up and beat en. They then boiled cooking oil and forced it through a funnel down his throat. He has since died of internal burns and bleeding.

The wife eventually managed to get to a panic-button, linked to other farmers in the district. My friend, Jim, was one of the neighboring farmer s who responded. He took along a Norinco bolt gun in 7.62x39. When the thugs sa w him approaching, they fled.

Jim then checked the house and helped the woman and her husband (still aliv e at that stage). The woman indicated at least one attacker was hiding in a shed. Jim approached the shed and ordered the suspect to come out. The suspect complied, shooting wildly. One, carefully-aimed shot from Jim =99s rifle ended this slug's criminal career on the spot. He was hit high in t he chest and was DRT within seconds.

Local police finally arrived four hours later. They seemed only distantly interested! So nice they were able to fit this crime into their day.

This incident is not isolated and is far from the worst. In SA, you're on your own!"

Comment: When societal controls over violence fail, as they failed for Jewish people during WWII and are currently failing these pitiable farmers in SA, reverting to private violence may be the only way survive. Ask yourself is

you are willing to watch your family die horribly at the hands of merciless

thugs, just so naive grasseaters will speak well of you after you're all de ad!

None of the situational training we subject ourselves to: skillful use of cover, concealment, movement, speed, "situational awareness,=80 et al will make the enemy fall down! Only accuracy kills.
