I've read that some of the remaining farmers have banded together to form response teams that can respond if their neighbor is being attacked. The farmers have panic buttons that they can push which sends out the alert when they're under attack.
I think big business in the USA should take a lesson from this. Maybe they need to hire one ex-felon per store to form a rapid response force to respond to looting. I think looters would react poorly to getting maimed. Maybe it could be sort of like a letter of marque, and the goon squad member gets what the looter was trying to steal if he permanently disables the looter in some manner. They could paint stripes around their arms for each looter permanently taken out like Germans paint rings around their tank barrels in WW2.
If I was a farmer in South Africa I'd have been out of there already if I could. Hell, I'm thinking of getting out from living in Brandon's woke USA.
The only good to come out of this will be the well deserving South Africans who bought into this movement starving to death after the farmers are gone.
