The Full Enchilada

It was sickening to hear some of the comments over the web nonchalantly condoning such evil barbaric behaviour. Racism exists and will exist forever, it is not bound by any skin color, people of all races have plenty of racists among them but how can people excuse murder if the victim maybe was a racist by someone’s definition? What if that 69 year old bedridden man, who was recovering from heart surgery, was indeed a major racist? It’s ok to murder him in cold blood? What if he even tried to cheat the two black workers and pay them less than agreed, does that make it ok to murder him? Even if he refused to pay at all, is murder in any way excusable!?

Some of the comments I have read on the web read along the lines of “not paying them for there work to feed there families isnt murder?”

This is the same ideology that terrorists all over the world use. They claim it is perfectly OK to murder innocent men, women, and children in retaliation for what they feel is some sort of oppression, or sometimes even for as little as disrespecting their ideology.

Now back to this story, there apparently was a 28 year old worker involved also who struck the elderly 69 year old man laying sick in bed, struck him several times with an iron rod or and/or some machete and a big club according to police and crime scene investigators. After the 28 year old man struck the old man, the 15 year old took his turn, apparently neither of them being disturbed by what authorities said looked more like some animal slaughter house, he was bludgeoned so badly he was barely recognizable!

Police said, Terreblanche was lying on his bed when he was attacked between 5 and 6 p.m. on Saturday. “There was blood all over the place, pools on the mattress, the pillow, the floor and splatters on the walls and ceiling,”

Some blamed the (ANC) African National Congress Youth Leader Julius Malema, saying he spread hate speech that led to Terreblanche’s killing. Malema had led college students in a song that includes the lyrics “kill the Boer.” Boer was used as a derogatory term for whites in the song.

The ANC insists the song is a valuable part of its cultural heritage and that the lyrics — which also refer to the farmers as thieves and rapists — are not intended literally and are therefore not hate speech. This stance by the ANC organization is blatant endorsement of racism itself. No respectable white political organization could get away with such inflammatory racist propaganda and they rightly shouldn’t but respect and trust can only be built through cooperation from both sides. How can they denigrate whites without just giving them more reasons to justify their racist views?

Perhaps this Terreblanche white guy, was a very terrible person, perhaps he deserved to die, perhaps he derserved even more than that gruesome beating to death. He may in fact deserve to burn in Hell forever, but regardless of this, cold blooded murder of a helpless, non-combatant person should never be excused!
