    Default They don't care how many you are

    So many people at one house, but they still took the chance.

    Rowers slaan toe op 6 gesinne

    Kinders moet huilend plat op die vloer lę

    Deur Vania van der Heever Maandag 22 Junie 2015 07:20




    Hans Somsen was vir agt jaar deel van Linden se buurtwag en het vier weke gelede uitgetree. By hom is sy vrou Riana in hulle huis in Linden. Foto: Denzil Maregele



    By die braaivleisvuur het ’n klompie kinders huilend op die vloer gelę. In die oprit was nog ’n verskrikte gesinnetjie plat op hul maag.
    Drie rowers het Saterdag 29 mense – ses gesinne, 12 volwassenes en 17 kinders – in ’n beveiligde huis in Linden, Johannesburg, aangevat en selfone, skootrekenaars en juweliersware gebuit.
    Kringtelevisiekameras oral op die Somsen-gesin se eiendom het vasgelę hoe die drie mans Saterdagaand 18:30 met klapmusse en 9 mm-vuurwapens uit ’n wit Toyota Avanza spring en by die hek inhardloop.
    “Die mans het ingeglip toe my oudste seun die elektroniese hek agter gaste toegemaak het,” het Riana Somsen, ma van die huis, Sondag gesę. “Die mans het drie gaste wat net aangekom het buite met ’n vuurwapen gedreig.”
    Haar agtjarige seun moes ook plat lę.
    Die meeste gaste het geen benul gehad wat in die oprit gebeur nie.

    “Ek en ’n vriendin was in die vertrek naby die voordeur. Toe ek omdraai, kyk ek in die loop van die rower se vuurwapen vas.
    “Dit het gevoel asof die tyd stilstaan. Hy het die kluis en geld gesoek. Ons moes op die grond lę. Ek het vir hom gesę hy moet in ’n ander kamer gaan kyk.

    “Toe hy die vertrek verlaat, kon ek die noodknoppie druk.”
    Haar kinders en man was saam met die ander gaste voor die braaivleisvuur. “Ek het net aan hulle gedink.”
    Riana het minute later ’n motor buite gehoor. Dit was ’n vriendin wat omgedraai het toe sy die mense in die oprit sien lę.
    “Die vierde rower het in die Avanza gesit. Hy het die drie mans in die huis laat uitkom toe hy sien my vriendin jaag weg.”
    Hans Somsen, Riana se man en ’n oudbuurtwaglid, het Beeld Sondag met sy vuurwapen aan sy sy ontmoet.
    Hy het gesę die rowers het Saterdagaand die vuurwapen gevat wat hy toe by hom gehad het.
    “Toe die rower skreeuend inkom, het ek my hand op my vuurwapen gesit. Hy het sy vuurwapen teen my kop gedruk en gesę ek moet dit nie doen nie. Hy het my vuurwapen gevat en my teen die kop geslaan.
    “Ek is aangesę om op die grond te lę. Ek het oor my dogtertjie gaan lę,” het hy gesę.
    Van die kinders het gehuil terwyl hulle plat op die vloer moes lę, het Riana gesę.
    Hoewel niemand fisieke beserings opgedoen het nie, is almal erg getraumatiseer, het Hans gesę. “Ons moet ons drie kinders by ’n berader kry.”
    Kapt. Alex Vermaak van die Linden-polisiekantoor het gesę hulle sit met hul hande in hul hare omdat huisrooftogte sedert Maart geweldig toegeneem het.
    “Sedert Maart sukkel die polisie om by te hou by die toename in gewapende en huisrooftogte. Dit is vir die polisie kommerwekkend. Ons beraam planne om misdadigers vas te trek, maar dit lyk nie asof dit werk nie.
    “Ons trek die rowers vas en sluit hulle toe, maar daar is altyd nuwe groepe wat dan kop uitsteek.”

    Eish. These guys are getting brave. Problem is, I don't know about many such gatherings where people would typically carry. Obviously our crowd here is different, and I "kuier" with my friends with my pistol on me, and these guys know it's easy targets because they're afraid for their families.

    I am afraid for my family/friends too. Which is precisely why we take the necessary arrangements to ensure our safety.

    This is exactly why I am present when my wife leaves home or returns. Usually I am also present when guests arrive or leave. I must add this focus to oversee the movements of some family/relatives who do not live here, but have their own remote. I will never be able to instill in them the necessary awareness about not getting tailgated into my property or taking a minute or two to close the gate. I think I should change my remote code without telling them and then reclaim the remotes as faulty !

    Well unlike this useless outoppie I'd be dead before I hand over my weapon, even with a gun against my head. I'd still try to dodge or slap it out of the way.

    It does appear as if they probably target these types of gatherings specifically? Have heard of this kind of thing numerous times now - they get to rob quite a few people at the same time.

    And people are relaxed and leave doors unlocked.

    The more people "comply" and offer no resistance, and the more that the popular media fly the "offer no resistance, don't look at them and give them what they want" bullshit, the more criminals will feel safe robbing large volumes of people. Just thus weekend I read a story of 6 guys hiking on table mountain (must have been relatively fit) that were robbed of their wallets and cell phones by two tik-koppe with knives. SIX young guys!!! Now I ask you with tears in my eyes, what is wrong with six guys that they are scared shitless by two snotkoppe with knives.

    Adult's job to open doors and gates and ensure the property stay secure.

    Help sweet buggerall if you are armed but leave it to your young son to maintain the first layers of defense/security while sitting at the fire having a dop.

    I figure he owns more than one?
