I'm surprised this wasn't posted yesterday. I watched that video a couple of times now. It is a reminder of how quickly things go south, and how aware we must be of our surroundings. Something innocent-looking, like someone driving like an ass on the forecourt could potentially mean your life.

By the looks of things the BG's knew what to do. Been looking at the video a few times and i might be wrong but looks 6 BG's are involved. Each of them placed so they can see 360 around them.Dont know if it was the video but they looked very calm about doing this aswell. Scary to think what BG's are capable of doing without thinking twice about it. Dont know what i would have done in that situation. R.I.P Louis Voster.

Why shoot him except if that was part of the order? They could have taken the package and have been gone before he even knew what happened

My neighbour willingly gave up his car in a hijacking in his driveway. They still shot him in both legs. When I asked the cops why they shot him when they had the keys and he was non combatitive. There reply was simply that all the attention gets diverted from the escaping criminals and is placed on the shot victim. The time lost in first attending to the injured and phoning for medical asistance before phoning the cops is the time that allows them to get away and also the trauma apparently overrides the recollection of the criminals and the crime scene.
