Lions are people too! Actually the Lion would probably have to be destroyed once it becomes a maneater. There is a case for apartheid, in fact I believe most people practice it, and it is wise. You must segregate the whites from the coloureds. It is in everybodies interest. I am of course talking about laundry.

I just love the naive comment "the racial divisions still lingering near the surface in South Africa, nearly a decade after the abolition of apartheid". It's going to take considerably longer that a decade to sort the problems out in SA

This was in 2004! I think the perpetrator has been doing time since then, surrounded by black fellow inmates. :)

That story roused interest among nuts of all sorts. Googling the suspects name turned up things from both democraticunderground (US leftwing nuts); and stormfront (neo nazi nuts) on the first page of results. I'm debating if loling at them tonight would be worthwhile. Googling however failed to return results about the trial verdict itself. :doh:

Scott-Crossley murder conviction set aside[^] Scott-Crossley trial 'unfair'[^] Scott-Crossley released on parole[^] S v Scott-Crossley (677/06) [2007] ZASCA 127; [2007] SCA 127 (RSA); 2008 (1) SA 404 (SCA) (28 September 2007) [^] Our prosecutors and police have quite a history of bungling procedure and forcing unwilling judges to hand out lesser sentences, but in this case, I think we could just used a reliable, unconnected eye witness, or a blood trail before his attack and death, something like that. People are worried about the very high rate of farm murders of white people, but I've seen enough racism up north in those districts that it really is little wonder that there are still all kinds of feelings of animosity and lust for revenge. It isn't inexplicable, but it is a shiocking problem that should be addressed much more effectively.
