Malema shooting assault rifle into the air.

**Speed_Freak** · 01-08-2018, 08:51

What would be the charge based on events should it be a live firearm? (there is claim it was a fake)

Discharge of a firearm in a public space?
Who would get in more trouble (assuming the law actually was not politically swayed) Juju for firing the rifle, or the security guard whose gun it was?

I wonder if GFSA would have the balls to press charges? Or would they not want to actually do something with the funds other than claim it's "for the children"

I hope he gets prosecuted. If not I just hope it goes to trial. And if he gets away with this, it sets a precedent that it is OK to brandish/openly carry and firing an "assault" rifle in public and at events/parties.
Either that or it sets a precedent that it is fine to do so as long as you are wearing red overalls.

Can anyone identify type of firearm, could be DM4?

Not so. The last two videos of which I'm aware, both parties (multiple) are picking up soap in a prison shower somewhere in S.A.

If it is a fake they did a damn good job of photoshopping in the muzzle flash at 6 seconds into the video.

I also don't see the security running to fetch a fake gun....

Malema, the EFF and that security guy didn't bargain on someone taking a video and sharing it.

Quite honestly, I don't think he cares...

Real gun or fake one, does it matter? It appears to public eye to be a real firearm. It makes a muzzle flash like a real firearm. It recoils like a real firearm. Should a robbery be conducted with a fake but realistic firearm, it still is armed robbery? I stand to be corrected.
