Richius must be devastated by the news:    Tongue

White supremacist leader killed in South Africa

By MICHELLE FAUL
The Associated Press
Saturday, April 3, 2010; 9:27 PM


JOHANNESBURG -- South Africa's white supremacist leader Eugene Terreblanche was bludgeoned to death by two of his farm workers Saturday in an apparent dispute over wages, police said, amid growing racial tensions in the once white-led country.

Terreblanche, 69, was leader of the Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging movement, better known as the AWB, that wanted to create three all-white republics within South Africa in which blacks would be allowed only as guest workers.

The opposition Democratic Alliance party blamed increasing racial tensions for the killing.

"This happened in a province where racial tension in the rural farming community is increasingly being fueled by irresponsible racist utterances" by two members of the governing African National Council, said the Democratic Alliance legislator for that constituency, Juanita Terblanche.

Terblanche, no relative of the far-right leader, said her party did not share his political convictions but warned that the attack on him could be seen as an attack on the diverse components of South Africa's democracy.

President Jacob Zuma appealed for calm following "this terrible deed." In a statement, he asked "South Africans not to allow agent provocateurs to take advantage of this situation by inciting or fueling racial hatred."

The killing comes 10 weeks before South Africa prepares to host the first World Cup soccer tournament on African soil, with massive expenditures on infrastructure being questioned as hundreds of thousands of tickets and hotel rooms remain unsold.

No, it isn't. It's not good news at all.

An increase in racial tensions is an objectively bad thing. This has a good chance of leading to a rise in AWB activity.

Apparently this was over unpaid wages, like most murders of this type, actually. A fitting end, I suppose. But, no, this isn't good news; Terreblanche was pretty evil, but the possibility of this inspiring 'revenge' attacks is pretty frightening, even if his own pseudo-nazi organisation has called for calm.

Btw, the reaction of the DA to this tells you why no blacks vote for them. In case you ever wondered.

There have been... um... certain... er... developments... relating to this. To cut a long story short, it seems that Terreblanche was all mouth and no trousers. An alternative would be to say that he was caught with his pants down. I'm sure that skilled people could come up with sicker jokes.

You know, I wonder if Richius was Terreblanch. Most of the details seem to fit.

Bah, I certainly won't miss him. But of course saying it's "good news" is rather stupid. LOL it reminds me when StatesRetard said something like "fortunately Lincoln was killed".

I don't understand why Neo-Confederates were happy that Lincoln was shot and killed, I mean, Lincoln would have given the defeated South a deal multitudes better than what Congress had in store for them.

I doubt such people think in a rational way.
