Hi Annemarie,
As point out protesting is great nut its not enough-
I suggest you secure membership with Observatory Neighbourhhood Watch
(if you arent currently a member)
Its a proactive option.
Get a radio and be in direct contact with SAPS, VS and other ONW members
and monitor all radio activity.
Contact James Cowley at 021 4482824,

Dear All,
While I totally agree with the march now planned, I recall marching
not so long ago for the student murdered on the opposite side of main
road , a few months back.
What saddens me is that all the marches in the world and
demonstrations, seem to have delivered very little action to save
lives. Thugs are still penetrating our neighbourhoods at random
and we are told to be on the look out for them and
safeguard ourselves. While this is the right thing to do, I honestly
believe and I cannot stress, enough is enough.!! This is the
message that needs to be related to them our there. !! Lets make
our suburb/suburbs, the safest places to live.
Thugs do not belong here in the first place and should not want to
enter our streets for fear of their safety, Those thugs living and
visiting in our suburb and surrounds , should know that their
time and activities are numbered. They must be fearful to come
and commit their crimes here. We are showing them far too much
respect and restraint , instead of showing them our force in action
! This can be contributed to their human rights promoted by the
government who overlook that our human rights are severely
affected. We live in cages and cannot walk in the dark without
fear. We are told not to wear/carry items of value. To simply
hand over. What a cheek ! ; and yet currently I agree it is the
right thing to do. They however show no mercy to the ones
they target. From shooting , knifing and robbing ! It would
seem the government is allowing us all to be intimidated to this
extent and encourages us to hand in our own weapons, so that we are
defenceless. This is just too ludicrous for words.! In mid and
some eastern countries these people would be so scared to operate, as
they would lose limbs or their own lives in the process.
Let's show them our force and commitment to not have this happen ever
again in our neighbourhood. ! If this is going to cost some extra
financial budget , lets do it until thugs get the message loud and
clear , that they are not welcome and will not be tolerated in our
streets. Can you imagine how our property values will improve,
from being a danger zone to a place where you can walk 24/7 in safety
. !
I am pleased to see a bit more activity from VS , but this is still
not enough . I realise it is a huge task to organise and I am sure
the budget and manpower is another issue. However I am totally
convinced that with really good patrols and back up , we can
all cancel our ADT subscriptions to finance a more effective approach
to crime in our area, which can bring about a no crime situation in
our area, or at least no serious crime. What a pleasure !!
This cost can be shared by all whereas now it would seem that ADT
is used and paid for by only a number of residents.
I propose that VS sets up their own monitoring service or uses a good
monitoring service , such as Combat Force or any other. That is
all we would need then. If your alarm goes off, VS will be called
to check out the premises. This would mean a few guards, dedicated to
this task. However they will also be back up for the other guards in
the area and also observers when not responding to alarms.
This increases the exposure of force in the area , which is the
message that the thugs must know and understand. !
My hope is that each and every law abiding citizen and community in
this country will say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! With the government's clear
inability to fullfill it's duty to protect us, we need to do it
ourselves . Our human rights are severely affected and hampered and
we will and should not tolerate it any longer. We need to use our
own resources to protect and drive out those elements in our
communities that make our lives living in this country hell ! Lets
all show our disgust at crime and lawlessness in this country to
those fatcats in charge with their high security protection at our
expense for their benefit only. Please people wake up
!
Regards
Annemarie

Be warned. Do not take photographs of the police station. It
is a
national security keypoint and you could be arrested.
Here's my middle finger.
