Re: Potentially lethal force over a cellphone
I support the drilling of armed robbers as much as anyone, I'm just not up for the blow back that WILL come from officialdom if fat middle class, melanin deprived me is the driller. I also don't think that drilling them will reduce the supply of aspirant armed robbers, the propensity for the police to arrest or the NPA to prosecute them. No amount of armed citizen action is going to fix what's broken.

Re: Potentially lethal force over a cellphone
We are in a catch-22.
Defend yourself and face consequences - on the long and short term. These are thing like legal fees, accusations, false charges etc. And all of these wont stop the downward slide of SA.
Don't defend yourself and face consequences- on the long and short term. These are things like further crime, less security, higher joblessness etc. And all of these will aid the downward slide of SA.

Re: Potentially lethal force over a cellphone
I guess you want to keep your self defence monopoly ticket intact until you are in a real fight for your life situation…. Better to be tried by twelve than carried by six.

Yes Ds. And the next victim may get a knife in the chest for his cell phone. That armed robber is not brandishing a knife just for show.
Our legal system is not just malfunctioning, it is completely broken. Previously any citizen could make a citizen's arrest for schedule 1 offences using minimum force, thus knife - cap his ass without comebacks.

Re: Potentially lethal force over a cellphone
You have hit the nail on the head. Malfunctioning legal system it is.
Three weeks ago I testified in court after been working in Cape Town for 4 years. Yet I get a subpoena every month or so, cases get remanded left right and centre for stupid reasons.

Re: Potentially lethal force over a cellphone
Whether you go to jail or not. Pulling the trigger has a 99.98% of changing your life for the foreseeable future.
Either by legal fees or by charges sticking.
