In a popular Johannesburg pub yesterday, an armed gang was in the process o f robbing patrons of wallets and cell phones. Among the patrons were an off-duty police officer and his girlfriend, also a police officer. When, a t gunpoint, thugs demanded the woman's wallet, she reached back and in stead came up with a pistol and started firing immediately. Her partner also drew and fired at the same time.

The gang of thugs was taken completely by surprise! Three were fatally wounded immediately and went DRT at the scene. The rest fled. Some of the m may have been wounded also. Both police officers and the rest of the pub patro ns and staff were okay. The officers were openly cheered by the rest of the people there.

Not surprisingly, in the aftermath a senior police official, instead of congratulating his two courageous officers, publicly chided them for =80 taking the law into their own hands." "... we don't want people to act like vigilantes. "

Just like their counterparts in Atlanta, GA South African public officials predictably gush with sympathy for their dimpled-darling, violent criminals and apparently have not a bit left over for honest, tax-paying citizens who are constantly victimized. For one, I don't know how one can successfully defend himself from violent criminals without "taking the law into his own hands." That is a just leftist drivel, used as a means of generating yet more victims. Indeed, it is "victims," not citizens, who keep t hese sleazy leftists in their cushy jobs.

Again, an explosive counterattack is the last thing VCAs expect, and the on e thing with which they are least prepared to deal! Had the woman not reacte d as she did, she probably would have been raped and mutilated. She dared, and she won. Good show!
