Four days before the start of the World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg, a Romanian became the first delegate to be mugged.

The man said he was attacked in Eloff Street and robbed of his watch and $70 (about R750). He had not laid a charge because he believed the muggers were the very people who needed to be helped by the summit, he said.

This has to be one of the most asinine things I've ever read.

This mugger should have been armed. This victim should be one of the ones given the "Darwin award."

I support this mugger in choosing to rob stupid leftists. I think we should all follow his example.

Sounds like they're expecting quite a few.

He went to the summit to be mugged anyway. They plan to let all of the western taxpayers get mugged.

The west needs to let the losers fend for themselves.

Fisk-wannabe bump.

Yes, feeeeeling guilty is much more important than holding people accountable.

Bub, are you going to feeeeeel guilty about all his next victims.

Is this screwed logic or protecting your employment.

I vote #2.

Hey it makes sense from the liberal viewpoint. Criminals are downtrodden and in need of "compassion." The Romanian delegate simply did what any good liberal in his shoes would do. At least he isn't a hypocrite like most of them are.

In his heart he knew he deserved even greater punishment so he will be available later to be of service to any other poor souls in need of his victimhood....
Reminds me of Bill Murry's character in Little Shop of HOrrors

This is the result when you dope up the kids with ritalin, don't let them play dodgeball or tag, send them to jail for throwing spitballs, and teach them that being a victim is noble...

The truth is that the left has become just as psychotic as the Islamists. Guilt is a powerful force--driving one mad if he's exposed day in and day out to it...

Fisk like alert!! Why not the warning? Right, violent proselytisers and workers are above any moral constraint. Because they have no money, others don't have the right to be alive or safe.

How do you say, "What's the frequency, Kenneth?" in Xhosa?
