#1 Is South Africa a "gun-free zone"?

Sure sounds like it....

#2 Maybe gun free, but not glue free. This is really nasty. Using duct tape is bad enough but super glue would be especially painful to separate.

#3 It's my understanding that superglue was originally invented to glue human skin together after operations. Plenty of evidence to support this! :-)

#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...

#5 The man was rescued about three hours later when his partner arrived home, SAPA said.

I note the word "Partner" is used, not "Wife", or "Girlfriend"

Perhaps the man was targeted because he's gay?

#6 Well said 2x4. Bottom line, South Africa is becoming Afria and proudly divesting itself of all things white. Sad, very sad indeed. I would love to hear Fjiordman's analysis.

Don't know about SA, but in Australia they say "partner" rather than "girl/boyfriend". It is a more dignified expression, but also rather mysterious. The first time someone mentioned his "partner", I assumed he meant business partner. When it became clear that wasn't the case, I wondered if he were gay (no). I just managed to avoid embarrassing myself.

Absolutely. The first thing I thought when I heard the story is: the guy was lucky. Most SA crime victims are lucky if they die quickly. If you have a strong stomach, there are several sites that catalog SA ~~atrocities~~crimes.
