The thing that should not be
ohannesburg - West Rand residents are recovering after being forced to hide when locals from the nearby informal settlement ransacked their homes during a protest.

One family in Lindhaven was forced to take cover in their bathroom when protesters stormed their home, The Star reported on Tuesday.

The home’s windows had been shattered and the woman’s belongings were allegedly stolen from the house.

A resident at a complex that was also vandalised has complained that police are not guarding the area, Eyewitness News said.

The police’s Lieutenant Colonel Katlego Mogale denied this and said there was a constant police presence in the area.

The protests started last Tuesday, with residents demanding better service delivery and housing.

Police said on Monday that the situation in the area had quietened down.

heh. So it begins.
 
Where is Ohannesburg? :p

It seems with every strike more guys are joining to pillage and destroy. I don't care how pissed you are, you have to right to attack someone's home or shop to steal in the chaos, you are undermining the initial protest and acting like a coward.

When I come to power any strike that goes violent will be deemed a collective attack by all protesters and police can pull out tear gas and rubber bullets as they desire. They can arrest any and all protesters and charge them for the damages.
