Postcards from South Africa - Durban : 060608
Howzit,
Borrowing from Will Smith and Vanilla Ice: “WILD WILD WEST JIM WEST DESPERADO AND ALL I HEARD WAS SHELLS FALLING TO THE CONCRETE STEEL FAST”.
Okay my hearing isn’t that good to hear the shells falling but it is good enough to have heard the 9 rounds being emptied into this vehicle. That’s what I heard while sitting at my desk and then 5 minutes later the hovering a police chopper above.
As the story goes, this car had been hijacked & then the occupants decided to break into a house or steal stuff from a house whose neighbors saw what was going on and called the cops. Then there was the off duty cop or something to that affect who lived in the area or was driving by and proceeded to take action. BANG BANG BANG . . . BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG . . . BANG BANG . . . . screeching of tires oops BANG.
That green roof is my aunts house, I live less than a kilometer away. Now on the other side of the building the car is resting against is another hill which she saw some guy come rolling down, stand up dazed and disappear into the night. I counted 7 bullet holes in the car. Again as the story goes 1 of the 4 was dead, 1 injured and 2 escaped. Bugger, they should all be dead!!
Yes welcome to Africa, but we are not the only country to have such wrong doings. Just watch those TV shows from the States with outrageous car chases. Hell one guy can murder his wife with all the evidence pointing towards him yet still gets off and then goes on to write a book saying how he would have done it if he had done it.
Oh and the waves have been cooking, finally.
Till next time . . . so much for ABS.
