Chris_ Posted May 4, 2020 Posted May 4, 2020 With all this stress induced moaning and bitching going on..I've put a face to a name so that if you wanna bitch at me you can look me in the eyes! Whoa.. change it back!
Rigardt@Scott Posted May 4, 2020 Posted May 4, 2020 ai here we go again with "the rules are the rules and we must just accept them."You'd do well in a fascist society. That's not a slight against you its just that some people are made for following every rule unconditionally and others are made to question the validity of said rules. So if the government legalised murder you'd go and shoot someone? Because you know, its the law and I must obey I for one don't agree with the face mask rule or the time restrictions, but I follow them. You can questions and lobby to change rules/laws you don't agree with them while still following them while they are in place.
Stretch Posted May 4, 2020 Posted May 4, 2020 Whoa.. change it back! I like it when you watch. Tough luck ....i watching you........
Mudsimus Posted May 4, 2020 Posted May 4, 2020 From one of my Watsapp groups. Hi guys (from the Raffa Bike group) This is a warning! Don't try exercising after the 9 am curfew. I was held by the police for 14 hours. No food no water no chairs to sit on. Just hard concrete floor. Unbelievably cruel. Animals at the SPCA are treated better. I was arrested on Friday for riding my bicycle after the curfew. 5kms away from home. They are not messing around. Please do not take any chances. Forward this without disclosing my name. First I spent 9 hours in a holding cell at a police station with four other men, two beggars, one guy caught driving at 745 pm and the fourth was caught illegally transporting chemicals. Thankfully all nice people. I paid bail for the 2 beggars because they were seriously screwed and would have stayed in jail for a week or two. The worst part was not having a clue what was going to happen next and when. The holding cell had a solid steel door, no way of communication unless you shout. We sat in there for hours hoping an officer would tell us what was going on - all the while thinking that any minute they would allow us to pay for bail and get the hell out of there. When I was arrested I was told that I should expect bail "soon". I did not see police officer for a few hours after being locked up and even then whenever anyone appeared they would say "yes yes soon don't worry". Eventually they moved us in a police van late Friday night to the Randburg police station where our fingerprints were taken. That took another 2 hours. Finally I was released after paying R500 bail at 3 am after being taken back to Douglasdale police station. No amount of pleading or asking for a second chance helped. I did not dare offer a bribe. The guys who arrested me did not ask for one. Bail was granted and I have to make an appearance in court in Randburg on 2nd July. Please, this is not a joke. Nor an exaggeration. Don't mess with them/tempt fate. Black, white, rich or poor it doesn't matter.

Skubarra Posted May 4, 2020 Posted May 4, 2020 From one of my Watsapp groups. I was arrested on Friday for riding my bicycle after the curfew. 5kms away from home. They are not messing around. Please do not take any chances. Forward this without disclosing my name. Thanks for the heads up , don't wish this upon anyone, not even the naughty okes That said - if he was still 5km away from home after the curfew it is safe to say he was a very very naughty boy...
Jbr Posted May 4, 2020 Posted May 4, 2020 If you think or anybody thinks that they are anonymous on this forum, they are very much mistaken.I have yet not been able to find out who somebody is within 15mins of trying. As for Karen's being brave. Well I suggest we google Bill Burr's thoughts on what brave is. Fireman are brave. We and the Karen's are just bitchy.
RocknRolla Posted May 4, 2020 Posted May 4, 2020 So this thread still has not answered my dilemma of phoning the cops about the home owner smuggling in labour to complete his refurb in our complex.What sours this, is I am in construction related industry as well, and would love nothing more than get back into completing some projects, but alas. As for riding outdoors, I have not done so. I almost went this morning, but I just cant get out of bed.But Cape town sounds like a hectic place to ride. Bicycle ownership sounds like it is through the roof. Maybe tomorrow, just to see what all the fuss is about.
DieselnDust Posted May 4, 2020 Posted May 4, 2020 Legal doesn't mean compulsory.. oooooooooooooooooooooooh so you mean Wearing a mask is legal but not compulsorystaying within your 5km radius is legal but not compulsory
Butterbean Posted May 4, 2020 Posted May 4, 2020 I love the irony here of people complaining that they can't operate and are losing money. So in protest, they won't keep the rules. Which is likely to extend the period of not being allowed to operate. Like being sour about the government is somehow gonna open your business doors back up faster. Honestly, no one like the rules. No one likes to enforce them. No one likes the idea that we can choose and have to behave. But I don't like lockdown or its many forms more. So wearing a buff on a cold morning, sticking close to home, and all round just not behaving like an entitled box is what is gonna get us out of this earlier. Why you grown up adults with lives and families and jobs and businesses can't see that and continue to behave like children throwing a tantrum is beyond me. Rebellion is cool and all. But you're cutting off your nose to spite your face cause Cyril won't mind keeping things nicely locked up.

MORNE Posted May 4, 2020 Posted May 4, 2020 I didn't say that champion^ another person that gets it right here. without wanting to get into another wear vs dont wear argument (ps i wear my buff outside)....'vigorously compelling' people to ware masks vs saying it is the 'law' are two very different things....and it is NOT currently the law.....it is just 'aggressively encouraged'
Rigardt@Scott Posted May 4, 2020 Posted May 4, 2020 oooooooooooooooooooooooh so you mean Wearing a mask is legal but not compulsorystaying within your 5km radius is legal but not compulsory When the law says something is required it means it is compulsory. When the law says something is legal to do, it does not mean it is compulsory. Eg: It is required to wear a seatbelt while driving your car = compulsory.It is legal to drink alcohol = not compulsory but allowed. You seem to struggle with very basic concepts.
MORNE Posted May 4, 2020 Posted May 4, 2020 legit question: has anyone been to a bank recently? How are they dealing with the whole mask business since you aren't allowed to have any sort of face covering when entering a bank in normal circumstances due to security reasons
Underachiever Posted May 4, 2020 Posted May 4, 2020 All these opinions begs for an interesting story - which @Swissvan will enjoy I was travelling in Swiss in '95 with a local host showing me the country (driving the car). We were out in the sticks and zebra-crossing jumps up in front of us, with a pedestrian wanting to cross. He slam on the brakes, stops and let the person walks across. Nothing special to him. I thought WTF!!!!! There is no way that I would have stopped. I bet very few Saffas would. Why did he stop - simple, it's law. We live in a world where every law/rule is a maybe...does it suit us, or doesn't it?
