One more!

A light aircraft on Rand Airport Road in Germiston after it crashed through a wall at Rand airport, nobody was hurt, but the plane (and the wall ) was heavily damaged.One more idiot! It seems that nearly everywhere I go, there is someone that has a bit of responsibility and feels that everybody around them must listen to them, regardless of how idiotic they may be. This guy starts harassing me, saying that I can't take pictures of this accident, he refuses to give his name and and threatens to "confiscate my camera', I duly tell him that if he touches my camera, I will break his teeth... Then after a while of listening to his nonsensical babble, I walk away, he follows me and pushes me saying that he will "kick my ass' (his words). Too many cops around so, I give him my business card, tell him to give me a call, cause if he's keen to be in a world of pain, I'll meet him halfway. He's still welcome, "If you're reading this, buddy, give me a call, big boy, we'll talk...

"Deadly force"

South African National Police Commissioner, Bheki Cele speaks at an event in Primedia's building in Sandton, Johannesburg.There has been a controversy surrounding some statements from Bheki Cele recently, but generally I agree with him that the only way to deal with crime is with a strong hand, and a criminal pointing a firearm at the police (or anybody) must die in a hail of bullets. The problem lies with some of the police members, I'm not sure that they will all use "deadly force" at appropriate times, as has been demonstrated a few times recently when innocent civilians were killed by trigger happy cops.
