Best line of the article.


The [mugger] said "I bet you don't have one of these", pointing a gun in his direction.

The guest did have "one of these," and began firing at the suspect. He reportedly hit the man at least once.

OOPS! Bad thing about it is that in SA one would be charged .

OOPS! Bad thing about it is that in SA one would be charged .

Why?

On what basis?

I meant to say, oops wrong bet and glad the bad guy lost. In the article it says that the shooter is not charged for anything where in SA he would have been charged.

Charged with what, and on what basis?

Again, why would he be charged in SA?

[Hobbes]

Fruitless and wasteful expenditure of ammo, he only hit him once

[Bokman]

As far as I know a case is always opened against a shooter even if it is self defense and his gun taken for ballistic tests. Or am I wrong?

You are not wrong. Opening a case and charging someone is quite different.
