As for this trial, I hope people out there understand now that the system of white privilege and white supremacy primarily benefits white males first. Even at the expense of white women.

member that jodie foster movie? basically that
Crime is all over the place. A lot of desperate people.
This according to them:
- Politicians - a lot of the politicians who are getting elected are not qualified. There is a lot of corruption. Money is misappropriated, hurting the infrastructure of the country.
- Brain drain - more and more professionals are leaving the country because of said infrastructure and lack of stability
- With talent leaving, the economy lose consumers with spending/tax money, affecting other business
- Businesses downsize or close up shop because of lack of consumers, adding unemployed people on the streets.
- Zimbabwe's situation is causing a lot of people from that country to cross over the border to SA without legal papers/documentation to get jobs. You have an influx of people on top of already a high unemployment rate and an infrastructure that can't support them
- You have a shytload of unemployed people who become desperate when there are no jobs available. They do whatever is necessary to survive = CRIME
- They tell me people steal EVERYTHING they can get their hands on
- One of the more common items stolen are copper wires. Including wires that are active with electricity. A lot of people, including kids, die from electrocution trying to steal copper.
- There are a lot of home invasions.
- One of the tactics they use is they'll follow a car going into their gated house and jam their cars to stop the gate from closing.
- Almost every house is gated and fenced. I'm not talking about picket fence. I'm talking about 10 ft cement with barb wires in middle class neighborhoods.
- It's just getting worse.
- It's a beautiful country though
