The Irony of South African politics where killers walk free and talkers get fried

Posted on June 25th, 2008 by Richard Catto 869 views

Julius Malema and Zwelinzima Vavi are being taken very seriously by many South Africans and the South African Human Rights Commission for using evocative language recently.

"Oh no!", they are being told, "you can’t tell us you’re willing to shoot and kill for Zuma! That’s very naughty and we demand that you retract your utterances within 14 days or we shall become very angry."

Please. Give me a fucking break.

Who gives a shit?

South Africa is the same country that gave amnesty to the APLA gang who shot up the St. James Church in the massacre of July 1993 and followed that up with a shooting spree at The Heidelberg pub in Observatory, Cape Town.

We let actual killers and murderers walk free. They didn’t make any speeches about killing – they just went and actually did it.

And we let them walk.

Now, we are supposed to work up some angst over a couple of politicians who chose to express their sentiments of loyalty (for another politician) in fighting language?

Sorry, but I can’t take you seriously.

First go and lock up the real killers. The guys who killed the people at St. James, The Heidelberg, and the killers of Amy Biehl and then we’ll talk.

Until then, you are a clanging hollow drum that is becoming increasingly stupid and annoying.

   Your comment speaks volumes about your total lacking of understanding of the situation.

   This is not about “murderers”, “killers”, “locking up the killers on the streets” or anything.

   This is about a public figure stating that he does not respect the judiciary, and the judiciary must dance to his tunes to avoid violence. He used flowery language, granted, but it’s not about the language – it’s about not respecting the judiciary, a cornerstone of democracy.

   But of course you would not know that.

   And you would not know that, because you’ve got your head so deep up your ass that you’re really, really not qualified to have an opinion on any public matter.

   Ask somebody intelligent about what’s going on before you assholify yourself like this.

   (By the way – have you got an answer for me yet? The one about how your calling for genocide against a people because they’re racist make you any different? Deleting posts isn’t gonna help, motherfucker – I type faster than you can press the “delete” button. And I’ve got lots of time on my hands to squash vermin like you.)
