South African police opened fire and dispersed a crowd of striking miners at the Lonmin mine in the North West province on Thursday after issuing an order to the protesters to lay down their machetes and sticks.http://www.apacheclips.com/boards/vbtube/images/play_thread.png (http://www.apacheclips.com/boards/vbtube_show.php?tubeid=479)

Mmm protesting is one thing being armed with spears and machetes is another. Especially after having had two officers hacked to death with machetes. Note to self dont charge at south african police armed with automatic weapons whilst being armed with a spear.

Good shoot'in, boys. BTW, platinum prices have been flat due to decreased worldwide demand and more recycling of platinum. The miners make berween USD 700 to USD 900 a month, not bad pay for African Tribesman. Now you will hear the leftists come out and condemn the "Massacre" and blame it all on the white man's greed.

How many times it has been said. Never bring machetes, spears, knives to a gunfight. Duh.

Just to add, in the recent past. A couple of police officers were hacked to death by these same miners using machetes. "On 13 August, nine people, including two police officers, were killed at the same mine. Three of the dead were miners shot by police,[9] after two police officers were hacked to death by the crowd."
I am in a no sympathy zone for these miners. Ammo is cheaper and more effective than negotiating at this point IMO.
