davetapson Posted September 8, 2016 Posted September 8, 2016 Just as an observation: my perception of the prevailing attitude is 'give it up, it's not worth the risk'. What has this lead to? An expectation that you can take folks stuff and they won't resist. So some folk take stuff - and why not, it's risk free. If folk put up some resistance (yes, which comes with some risk) those folk who currently feel they can take stuff risk free would think twice. Before you jump on your keyboard in high indignation, some sense of balance is required. If you are on your bike with a 9mm in your face, give up the damn phone/whatever. However, if this is not the case, then do something, esp. if the 9mm is potentially in your hand. Once again, before you jump on your keyboard in high indignation, some sense of balance is required. You don't have to shoot everyone dead. Most folks who are trying to take your bike / tv aren't about to die over it. They do have the option of the next cyclist / the house 3 doors down and will be quite happy to do it, given suitable motivation. The whole 'be a victim, it's the right thing to do' thing is engendering the reality in which we find ourselves in, and we deserve better. How many folk are the first to tell their kids to stand up to the school yard bully yet roll over at the first sign of risk?
davetapson Posted September 8, 2016 Posted September 8, 2016 Would love to hear if there are hubbers willing to post their experience from successfully defending their property AND the subsequent legal battle for taking a life... Most of life (and this includes lawyers facing lawyers) is about making the bigger threat. You don't have to shoot everyone, you just have to show you have the bigger threat. If they choose to take that threat on, then you probably won't have any issues with the law as to the results.
KingTJ Posted November 11, 2016 Posted November 11, 2016 Still ongoing...but as far a i know, he hasnt heard much from police. Ill ask him when i see next.
lechatnoir Posted December 11, 2019 Posted December 11, 2019 In light of what happened in Jozi earlier today, does anyone have an update on this older incident?
