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.

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.
