Lettow's hero and racist unique snowflake Terreblanche beaten to death.

[Agelastus]

It's a terrible bit of PR for South Africa with the World Cup just around the corner though.

Yeah, tens of thousands of murders and hundreds of thousands of robberies, rapes, burglaries, etc. surely aren't worse PR than the killing of an old AWB leader.

Nah, let's focus on one guy who had little power being killed.  Let's ignore the thousands of other farm murders while we're at it.

And which murder is going to make the headlines around the world at a critical time? The high crime rate that we've had mentioned in our papers and on TV for so many years that we are now blase about it? Or the murder of a man who's name is likely to be remembered by many people in the west from the fall of the Apartheid era?

As I said, terrible PR.

The fall of apartheid was a minor occurance from a long time ago.  The people who would remember him would be the people with an interest in South Africa, and those people will have already committed suicide in despair over what the ANC did to the country.

Tickets remain unsold huh. Thats odd.
This won't be a very good world cup off the pitch at all.

Ignoring the parts that are pure "Neilism".

People tend to remember armed militias and particularly well reported multiple killings. Thanks to his organisation's idiot expedition to support the government of one of the "Black Homelands", I am sure his name is better remembered than you believe.

[Caliga]

The Afrikaners should push for independence.

They tried that once before and it didn't work out very well.

I dunno, I didn't know who he was and I'll likely forget tomorrow.

I think you overestimate the extent to which people care about armed militias in Africa.

[Razgovory]

I wonder what an unarmed Militia is like.

I'd like to see them try again and get hacked apart by the darkies.

They care about them when every paper in the country has a picture of a wounded white man begging for his life in a wrecked car containing the bodies of his two colleagues, with numerous blacks, some armed, standing around. It doesn't really matter that the idiot whites had gone into the town to shoot up some blacks. That's not what the picture shows.

A man who was killed after the photo was taken.

That kind of thing sticks in the memory; it's why I remember Terreblanche's name.

Now, I don't know for certain how prominent that picture was around the world, but I cannot imagine that it did not feature heavily in the USA, for example. So in this case I think you are wrong about how many people will recognise the name.

[Neil]

You could never show that picture in the US.  It would be racist.

[Alexandru H.]

I blame Mandela.

Put that damn porchmonkey where he belongs, in prison!

[Razgovory]

What is it with eastern Europeans and bigotry?

I'm not a bigot. I actually love the Boers.

JR was right.  You are the eastern European Lettow.

Long live Breaker Morant.
