DISQUS

Volcane · 3 years ago

You've not seen crime in South Africa, wow you're one of the lucky ones then. I've witnessed a gang style execution of 6 youths (street corner just before cape town waterfront), actually seen someone shot in front of me (IN cape town waterfront infront of the Edgars i was not 10 meter away) been mugged twice myself and had 4 of my friends shot in the back of their heads while lying on the ground just so someone can enjoy a 3 hour joy ride in a new BMW then abandon it in Jhb and much more.

What you describe, while completely vile and unacceptible, has nothing on whats going on in South Africa.

Paul, I have to say that I am horrified yet not shocked that you witnessed such an event in Waterford. These kind of events are on the up and are spread across all facets of society in Ireland. Everything from the youth of the city to problems amidst the migrant community, it's ever worsening. Sadly the theme of the degeneration is much like a comic book crime caper, "where law was a dirty word". The Gardaí seem powerless to intervene and the level of violence, intimidation, and mindless vandalism is escalating by the week. It saddens me to think that my homeland is becoming less of place than I wish to call home...
