S., why do Christian missionaries of my faith appear to look only at the plight of poor AIDS orphans in countries like Zimbabwe, and S. A., but do _absolutely nothing_ to aid the Boers, whose rights to life are daily infringed? Do we have a problem in Christianity? What about poor Anika? Just asking.

Terrifying and beyond imagination. May the road to hell be long and winding for those who perpetrate such acts. My thoughts are with both this young lady’s family and all of those who live in constant fear in the new, and unimproved, South Africa….

[Still over there; thanks H.]

All you had to do was look at all the countries surrounding South Africa and see what their future was like. Some of our best friends moved to the midwest from South Africa with their extended families over ten years ago and are broken-hearted by what has become of their beautiful, beloved country. It makes me heartsick for them and their fellow, displaced countrymen. What a shame. RIP Anika, I am glad my dear friends did not suffer your fate. I worry always about their family members who still remain.

If a Palestinian had done this to an Israeli, it would be nation-wide news – or vice versa. The mainstream media in America apparently want to see no evil when it comes to the murder of white South Africans – 3000 farmers have suffered a similar fate since the ANC took over.

There is often little difference in an African thug and a Memphis or Chicago home boy with his pants sagging below his rear end. Remember, if it comes to America, the victims will have no protection or protectors. Least of all our laughable federal government.

The Rainbow Nation probably sanctioned the killing.

Revenge. Revenge for the Boers.

So very sorry. May she rest in peace, and may her killer(s) kick and choke one day at the end of a rope. Except I gather that the Rainbow Nation no longer has anything as civilized as the death penalty.
