Is it me or is crime in SA getting a little out of hand, I know its always been bad its just that it seems to be getting worse by the day. I am very proud of being a south african, but its hard to stay positive when crime is increasingly getting closer to home.:(
What brings you to this realization? (In your life)
In the space of a month my dad's car got stolen, my neighbors got burgled and a car was hi-jacked not more that 100m away from my house.Quote:

Maybe it's just that lately it's been closer to us but I do think there's been an increase lately. Friend of mine got robbed and a week later (this past Friday) another friend of mine was shot in a mugging.
It's really sad. Someone broke into our neighbor's wendy house sunday morning.
People get shot for a 50c. The beggers at malls and fast food joints are just starting to tickle my temper.
One day when someone tries to harm my family, I will unleash the beast. But nothing will happen to the person harming us. I will be going to jail. It's just how corrupt this country has become.
That's so true, someone breaks into your home, tries to harm your family, you protect your family, the intruder sues you for assault on your property.Quote:

I've got a buddy of mine who immigrated, cost him about R50000 for all the permits and paperwork and all that other nonsense. That's a bit steep, but then again he isn't 2nd generation European, which I am as well.
