I stand corrected.
40 murders a day in South Africa?
Cape Town used to be 50 a day. Mostly on the outskirts of town in drug-infested area, figures have dropped. Ross Kemp on Gangs did a good expose on the drugs & street gangs (which accounted for most of those murders) a few years ago.

I learned from my Law Enforcement buddies.. if you're going to fire a gun... shoot to kill and empty that clip. Only way to claim self defense!

I don't understand all this he should've moved talk. Dude lives in a gated community--it isn't like he's posted up in the hood.
You can get got ANYWHERE--even gated communities.
How's your quality of living if u have to keep a machine gun at your bedroom window in that gated community? No joke, there are probably hoods around the world safer than that.

Again, no details are known.
But let's say a dark place, shadow or sound of someone in a certain area? Best believe that clip is getting emptied. Don't know why the number of shots is shocking people.

You sound foolish as hell right now. Quality of life has nothing to do with keeping weapons in the crib. So you mean to tell me millionaires around the globe that keep firearms next to the bed have poor quality of life? What about poor folks that don't? Is their quality of life better than the rich dude with guns?
You really can't fathom someone keeping a piece in the bedside stand AND having good quality of life? You can't grasp that any neighborhood, and anyone in said neighborhood, could fall victim to crime?
So tell me. Where should dude move to so he'll be impervious to crime.....guaranteed?

as others have said, something about this story doesn't seem right.
i've read quotes from Pistorius where he says that he's been awoken at night and goes to check it out with his gun.
what kind of girlfriend, who obviously knows her boyfriend has reacted this way, would try to sneak into his house in the early morning?

Exactly, what girlfriend is sneaking into her boyfriends house? Does that make sense to you?
That man shot her 4 times, that burglary mess isn't flying

You're doing a GREAT job of reading what you want to read. I NEVER said anything was strange about him having a glock by his bed...however, if you're in a gated community and have to keep a machine gun by your ******g window, something ain't adding up. Dude was paranoid beyond belief and that was evident with his washing machine tweet. You know the statistics of the crime rates in his city...there are PLENTY of places to live around around the world where you wouldn't have to go to the lengths that he did to keep safe. Stop being naive.

no matter which way you cut it, there's should be no tolerance for such foolishness.
Throw the book at em. mistake or not, total recklessness on his part.
but then again, i want to be sympathetic to the situation, cuz what if it were a real threat? I'm sure if it was anyone of us in that type of situation, the adrenaline would be pumping and thoughts racing.
But still... the incident happen during daylight hours and he couldnt tell it was his gf before pulling the trigger?

Yes, we know the city is dangerous. That has already been noted and well documented. Like I said though, the guy isn't living in the slums. He lives in an upscale, gated community where I'd wager that crime rates aren't as high as the non-gated communities. But that doesn't mean you aren't prepared. And being prepared doesn't mean that your quality of life sucks. It just means that you're aware of the very real possibility that you could be a victim. I don't see how it doesn't add up.
Also consider that South Africans are very proud people. A lot of folks I kicked it with in college were dudes from SA, Senegal, Nigeria, etc. Those dudes left home and came to the states for their education. But they all went back home when they were done--every single one of them. They couldn't wait to get back and help their country. There's a cultural difference there between Americans and Africans that you're not taking into account. To make it to the level he made it to and then leave? And he went to college in Pretoria? Naw man--from what I've seen, that's not something they tend to do over there. Sometimes it isn't as simple as "just move away".

1. Crime is widespread over there. Houses in gated communities with electric fences get robbed all the time. They throw carpets over the fence and hop right in. A "Safe" neighborhood relative to the worst neighborhoods in SA is still not safe. Put it like this, I've been living middle class in the DMV for the last 28 years and have maybe a handful of robbery stories from friends and family. Over there, damn near every member of my family has a story. Multiple for some of them. Carjackings, getting robbed in broad daylight on the beach, robbed waiting on the bus for work, home invasions, it all happens. My aunt has bars on the inside of her bedroom door like a damn jail cell in case jackers come in at night, and she lives in a "good" neighborhood. You'd look crazy if you had that anywhere here in the states. It's real out there man, there's a reason dude was so nervous.
2. You're kinda right, It's definitely partly a pride/culture thing, but honestly I think a big part of it is just people being creatures of habit. You wanna be around what you know. As much as people talk down the US government, especially during the recession and GW years, you don't see a whole lot of them heading to Europe or Canada or Africa. From the outside looking in he's a dummy for not leaving. I tell my family over there all the time they should consider moving, but to them it's nothing because it's what they know, they're accustomed to it. I have fam that left and never went back (parents, aunt, uncles, grandmother, cousins), but everybody isn't always bold enough to make that move.
3. Having said all that, I'm still not believing his burglar story for a second.
