    You have a man dressed up as Batman cleaning up trash with a broom and you don't even talk to him.

    "looting because of hunger" shows food smashed on the ground with people leaving with designer clothes and tvs lol
  • @Ronsta229
    "Motivated by hunger and unemployment"...why steal a fridge if you have nothing to put in it?
  • @DavidJones-ih1cp
    The irony of the poor protesting on behalf of the guy who literally took the food off their tables.

    Stop calling it "Unrest." Me sleeping on a lumpy mattress and waking up in a cranky mood is unrest. This is flat out dystopia.

    This is what happens when you let people run a country who have no idea.

    The private security force looks more professional than the real South African police.

    Look's like Batman is serving his community in a different way these days.

    South African here. These riots were the last straw for me. Not long after I took my family and emigrated. It has been difficult but there hasn't been one day where I've regretted my decision to move

    Old South African Proverb: "I'm so hungry I could steal a TV."

    Just causally watching the planet turn into a mixture of the feature films “Idiocracy” and “Mad Max”. We’re so fucked.
  • @johnanderson5644

    "People just fucking around" best line of words ever said
