Bejacers mamaG, aren’t you on a high or off your rocker! I just told a simple true story and you go ‘ollering and raging in like a Injun? If ya wanna look at it objectively, look to the legacy of Mr. Nobel of Sweden and blame him. He invented dynamite and made a fortune so big that even years and years after he died, people, like Mr. Obama, get Nobel Peace prizes (dollars and dollars) while an innocent 67-yr old Irish lady, Mrs Cecily Clark in Sth Africa and plenty more others around the world, died because of Nobel’s invention.

Another one jacersagain, the American indian got the white mans gun, the aboriginal people got the white mans gun, the african people did get the white mans gun, and slavery, the chinese, india etc, could go on and on about the white mans gun. Even the "white" irish in the north of Ireland got the white mans gun. We so called white's think we were the best thing since sliced bread. ho ho I'm not white, I'm pink.

I wholeheartedly endorse mamaginnty’s comment. However, a wee tale: someone I know works for some Irish-based crowd which has a White South African also in its employ whose family lives in Sth Africa. One of his colleagues decided to holiday in SA a couple of yrs ago... and the White SA employee offered him a loan of one of his family’s guns while he travelled about. I don’t know if he did borrow a gun – but the story does show that White Sth Africans live in fear in their own homes and white travellers to SA may need to be cautious in the extreme.

My heart goes out to the family of this poor woman, but as always on IrishCentral, the bigots come out of the woodwork and make what they can out of the story. Robbery and killings happen all over the world.

Mandella was and is a Communist. The proletariat shall rule. Take from the haves and give to the "have nots". In this case, they took her life. According to socialist "doctrine", this must be done to bring about the socialist utopian paradise. The Catholic Church has bought into it according to Malachi Martin. A mixed race friend from South Africa was carjacked and his wife executed. Mandela can smile all that he wants. That is exactly the feeling that the current administration in America is based on. Fool the people and do what they are doing in South Africa. This same friend went to university with Mandella.

Both South African and Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) are SO much better after rapidly-forced leadership changes for which they were obviously not prepared. South Africa is not absolutely terrible, but Zimbabwe is worse than Nazi Germany or the Stalinist USSR.
