Re: Southafrican Police Shootdown Miners
My personal opinion : They were charging with machetes and spears against police after having killed 4 policemen the day before, its brutal yes.... but justified, it was them or the policemen.[/QUOTE] Yeah, we all know what a match knives are against guns. I'm sure there was absolutely NO other solution...like just wounding or incapacitating them, for example... |

When you see 30 guys at a distance of 10 meters running at you with machetes deciding to chop you... are you going to think what to do? |

Re: Southafrican Police Shootdown Miners
first of all it was only 2 police men killed and yes their service pistols were taken and recovered in the aftermath after the crowd had dispersed. They had fired on police with those guns. Secondly something westerners will probably find laughable but which is a very serious reality in South Africa is witch doctors. A witch doctor had blessed the miners that day and told them they would be invisible to the police and that the police' guns would jam and not fire. It sounds ridiculous i know but those miners honestly believed it. They had every intention of attacking the police that day. Still a terrible tragedy but its good to know what the mindset of the people involved were.
