In Nigeria, as I mentioned before, the faithful adherents to mohammed's made-up "religion" have been causing trouble. Now their movement is facing the proper sort of opposition from the Nigerian government: The leader, Mohammed Yusuf, has been killed in police custody ("oops") and the President is encouraging all local governments to fight the remainder of Boko Haram's adherents, and the citizenry not to have any associations with them.
In South Africa, where you could once upon a time walk safely down the street at night because EVERYBODY was armed, there is . . . a crime problem these days. The new Police Commissioner Bheki Cele "wants the law to be changed to allow police to "shoot to kill" criminals without worrying about "what happens after that"." He wants his policemen to worry less about what will happen to them at the office, than what will happen to them today on the street.
THIS is how you deal with violent people: directed, overwhelming violence in return. Some people you just can't talk to.
