Taking a break from social media.
A few points that hopefully are helpful.
Things have been pretty calm for a few days now. I think a lot of reporting over there was a little late making things look extended. That's not to say its all done,or that nothing is going down in the meantime, that we will only know one day in hindsight.
For most of us life continued as normal. My office is in one of the no go zones on googles maps and I came in everyday to quiet. I could see fires on the a few blocks away but so far so good. I may or may not have had something much bigger than a pistol handy though.
With regards the "why don't you leave" and " why don't you come here" comments. Its not as simple as all that. First of all with regards come here, your government makes that pretty difficult, its not like moving from Wisconsin to Illinois. Also for many of us our roots are here, our structures are here and our identities are here. Yup I'm a white dude, but I'm a South African who happens to be a white dude. Not someone who moved here or views here as a convenient place to be, its my home like the US is home for most of you.
Should the proposed Firearm control act amendments go through well then we may have to go wherever will take us because then this place is done, but until then its a good place to live except for people occasionally trying to kill you
Welcome to Africa, bring a hardhat.
@BigT , you and my other friends in S.A. are in my thoughts. I hope things turn around...but I'm skeptical at best.
There's nothing civil about this war.
Just a point of contention: you'd want to move the opposite way.
Stay safe @BigT

Just so.
May there be a period of peace and a gradual turn toward sanity there, @BigT .
