'Have-a-go hero' businessman Munir Hussain freed by Court of Appeal

Yes, the judges altered it when they realised the press were onto the usual lawyers scam of fleecing the victims of their hard earned money.

Oi, I resemble that remark.

You should.

The truth is that you (sasguru) is the pinnacle of your evolutionary branch.























Pity it's a dead end

You mean like sasguru?

ROFL, fast reaction to my typo. Good work fella.

Mob justice is not unique to SA, it appears to be fairly common throughout Africa.

Unless you have actually been in that situation, with your loved ones laid vulnerable in front of you, raped or perhaps worse, how do you know how you would react? It may not be right but from first hand experience I can assure you I would kill or incapacitate the feqqers at the first opportunity.

I know, same as most people I imagine; someone does something bad to my family and I'd do everything in my power to make sure they suffer, and if it's bad enough I'd kill to protect.

But it's possible to take a dispassionate step back when you're not directly evolved, or even better a jury of uninvolved people and let them decide. That's a good, civilised society imo, and a decent place to live as a rule.

However you were more likely to be hung for it.

I very nearly put that in my post but thought that I had better check before I did.

It turns out that the victorians were not as keen to hang people as we (certainly I) had come to believe.

They still did hang people, but only the serious criminals.

If someone got into my eco shed I'd break all their bones within the confines of my property. I would claim self -defence. The law allows this.
What I wouldn't do is chase the guy down the street and beat him there.
Now do you finally geddit, even with your extreme mental slowness?

I'd chase them down the street. But not in public. Feed them to the pigs though, and have the slurry pits cleansed a few hours later.

What would you say if someone got into your eco shed and burnt it to the ground? Would you give them a nobel peace prize?

We need a referendum on gun ownership and when the results are in those wishing to carry arms can be put in a field far away from civilised people. They can then blow each other away to their hearts content. Problem solved.

There are plenty of people who agree with you, mainly in places like South Africa and Haiti. I suggest you move there.

There is no debate in my opinion.

If someone (or a group in this case) broke into my home and tied up me, my wife and son then they do not deserve to live. They would be killed at first opportunity.
You hear all sorts of awful things (crimestoppers a few weeks ago showed a story of a 8 month pregnant woman who was raped repeatedly in front of her husband and son in their own home) she almost lost the baby and they will never get over this awful experience.

In my opinion, once they were tied up ANYTHING could have happened to them

They were totally justified. We need a change in the law.

Thats a bit of a myth. What would usually happen is that the church would step in and give you a free pass.
Of course this could only be done once and you'll end up with a rather nasty brand on the back of your hand so that you couldn't get let off again.

Even back then there was a general understanding that you couldn't go killing people just for stealing a loaf of bread
