Please oh please can we have another 56642 pages based on "if he", "probably", "could have", "should have", "imagine if", "perhaps he"....

 

It happened on Facebook - it must be true.

 

How about we all take a nice deep breath and wait for some facts to emerge before it's all tar, feathering, posturing, ego, smiting and ***.

omg..the way that is written basically condoning murder...whats the bet there was a "give that man a bells" somewhere in the comments. If this is true then we are on a slippery slope towards anarchy while the government idly sits back and watches the country implode

 

 

It will be interesting to see if more of this story comes out.

 

As it reads currently, there wasn't any "murder" committed. The cyclist didn't set off on his bike ride with the intention of murdering someone. 

 

It looks like what happened was that the cyclist became the victim of a violent crime. Sadly not an altogether unheard of event in current day South Africa. At some point the cyclist appears to have got the upper hand over this particular criminal and in the fight that ensued, killed the criminal by means of repeated blows to the head.

 

Not too many of us (and certainly not me, thankfully) have been in the position of having to fight, literally, for your life, or for the lives of those you love. If I or mine were threatened in any way and I had to fight by whatever means necessary to save mine/our lives I'm afraid I could not guarantee that I would be able to stop myself at the exact point where I had done enough, but not too much. Calculating situations is easy from behind a laptop. At the side of the road if you think you're gonna die? That's another story.

 

As I said, will be interesting to hear the whole story if it comes out.

Strange, I see this as self defense. What would have happend had he stopped sooner? the dude could have gotten up and retaliated. If you are going to do anything do it properly. Solves so many other issues as well.

 

If it happend at all.

Nuff said! I was going to report your statement for being 100% accurate, and to the point.

 

Close the thread.

Not referring to the actual incident as that is all hearsay anyway.. Was more referring to the actual words and tone in the screen grabbed Facebook post... It's a really solemn topic.. But the tone was almost glorifying the act... If they makes sense?

If it happened as described what would you have done if you had the chance to beat the crap out of someone trying to steal your bike....

I heard on the radio on Monday morning that over the weekend a lady was a victim of a smash and grab also somewhere in CT and she shot the thieve to be dead and drove of to the nearest police station traumatised, could this not have been the same incident?

Speaking as someone who was attacked and had I not fought back probably would not be posting here, well done. 

 

Bashed his head in ? Thanks to my helmet that was the only thing that saved me from having my skull crushed.
