Vigilante Justice - South Africa


Uploaded by: journeymanpictures
Video Description:
May 1999
In this report South Africa's growing vigilante crisis is thrown into sharp relief when the rape of a black girl is publicly avenged
Some of her attackers live in her street and she now fears for her life. Frustrated that the police will do little to help she approaches the local taxi firm to help her get revenge. "Will you be satisfied and stop crying once we've beaten them?" the firm ask her. At 4am the girl points out her township tormentors to willing vigilantes. They strip the culprits naked, strap them to a lamp post and lash them. The girl herself gives the first stroke. The legacy of apartheid leads South Africans to such violence, when even the police disregarded their own laws. The mob ruled when it black against white. This past has depersonalised and dehumanised. The police stand accused of apathy but often they are frustrated by clever criminals. But unless the police earn people's trust, vigilantism may become the norm.

Sorry about that ... ( 3 weeks ago by NeoVelocity)
Sorry about that mate,
in retrospect I was wrong.
I became a tad bit fiery concerning the whole need for justice and all, and seeing your comment I recieved the impression you were just jealous they managed a longer timeline.
I know, I know, I was wrong. I was clouded by emotion.
Sorry again, and I hope you didn't take offence.
Sorry to anyone else who looked down at me for the misconduct.

I wont mince my words. Black Africans bring rape, violence and stupidity to the party. Thats why most white people dont want to live anywhere near them. NB white flight to the suburbs since black immigration to Europe.

Wow... There's ... ( 1 week ago by KyulMahorgan)
Wow... There's alot of shallow bullshit on Youtube. This sends chills down my spine. Everyone's entitled to their own opinion -- but I refuse to believe that apartheid was caused by any biological factor (i.e. black vs. white). A biproduct of imperialism among any people anywhere is some degree injustice. South Africa's a great example of that. White, yellow, red, brown, black -- we've seen positivity and negativity in all ethnic groups... Injustice/ignorance/lack of compasion = terror...

And, while I've chosen to approach this in as passive of a way as possible -- I have to say that anybody who's watching this video in the comfort of their home... Who is fed; reasonably secure; provided clean drinking water & an education by their gov't; who has never been raped, beaten, etc. -- Without any protection under some sort of law... Should really think twice before putting these people down. I guess your ability to do so is just another luxury you can afford.

Meant as a reply to RabloIsHere -- not so passive, I guess. Sorry for cluttering up the wall.

This is poetic justice at its most subliime. Public humiliation and beating. I would also liked to have seen them have their appendages beaten then removed. They obviously don't need their little brains anymore.
This is how ... ( 4 days ago by EnormousHuntBall)
This is how communities kept order before the state created the police as it's private army, by maintaining common law in accord with consensus opinion.
The police exist primarily to collect fines and maintain the status quo. The enforcement of common law is a right of the people.
I wholeheartedly support community action like this.
Meanwhile the police were confiscating dried flowers. Says it all really...
