#4 Woozle Elmeter2970, not really, with some patience. The skin is dead on the surface, but epidermal tissue creates new one undernetah, thus in a week, the bike would fall off. ;-)
Barb, SA is not a gun free zone. It's a sick place. Very sick place.
I am sure that the bicycle owner has a pretty high fence around the house. Some people have a vault as big as one room (within that room), stuffed with guns, food/water to last 4-8 weeks. The fear is everpresent. Some roads are not advised to take, at least not with a mounted machine gun inside the car/truck or a few readily available pump action guns. Else it may be your last trip. But it is not that the violence is directed towards white folks. Black on black is even more common, often rather gruesome. There is not much of it trickling into MSM, but snippets do get told, here and there, and in blogs.
It's a sickness. As if some parasite that drives people mad is truly endemic there. Or in Zimbabwe, Angola, Congo, and it does not stop there. As if it adapts to different conditions. It is, perhaps, everywhere. It likes misery, its frequency or chemical environment that get produced by humand mind and thrives on it and instinctively forces the host to create more of it.
Different people react differently. Some create elaborate fantasies of paranoid nature and construct world of contradictions that they are not able to discern as such, other lose betwen some and any ability for empathy. True empathy, not an outward screen pretense that covers the lack of it. Those that lose all empathy do want to punish everyone else for their misfortune, by a murder, especially that of a riualized kind, else some feeble remainder of sanity may intervene--those that fear intervention opt for murder by suicide, those that don't do beheadings.
I think it will get worse. Much worse.
Sorry, just a "hour of wolves" rant... |
A gang stripped a South African man before supergluing him to an exercise bicycle while they ransacked his house, according to a report Thursday. SAPA news agency said the attackers, dressed in suits, hijacked a man in his 50s and forced him at gunpoint to take them to his home in Johannesburg. "The victim was then forced to strip, after which he was superglued to the seat of an exercise bicycle, his hands were superglued, as were his feet and then his mouth was superglued shut," SAPA quoted Mark Stokoe, a spokesman for emergency services Netcare 911, as saying. The man was rescued about three hours later when his partner arrived home, SAPA said.
