only by the 'freedom fighter' analogy
rhetoric aside, bring it closer to home and how would folks be feeling in gerry adams or martin mcguiness pegged it and the media became obsessed with it, endless rounds of 'they were men of peace did great things' etc
no difference. a terrorist is a terrorist and those 2 lads are amateur by comparison to mandela[/QUOT what do you think about Stephen bantu biko
this ^^^^^good riddance to another dead terrorist
its funny how the media and anyone wanting a bit of cheap PR have forgotten that the guy went to jail for bombing public places, killing heaps of women and children, executing those he didn't like by tying them to a lamp post, putting a tyre round their necks, filling it with petrol and setting it alight.
At his trial, he had pleaded guilty to 156 acts of public violence including mobilising terrorist bombing campaigns, which planted bombs in public places, including the Johannesburg railway station. Scores of innocent people, including women and children, were killed by Nelson Mandela’s MK terrorists in shopping centres and cinemas
Even amnesty international wouldn't touch him when he was locked up.
the man was a fecking terrorist by any definition of the word, right to the very end he refused to denounce the violence he was part of and never apologised for any of the lives he took
The man was a legend because the media portrayed him as a freedom fighter. Would people think the same if it was brought on tiv our doorstep like binladen and Al quada brought it with 9-11 and 7-7 ???
should have on his gravestone
Nelson Mandela
Convicted terrorist women and child killer who held no remorse for who he murdered.
Hope they concreted him in.
Reason why I am so strongly opionated on the matter is my great aunt was married to a white south african and had lived out there for years they had to move 2 england with there 7 children due to the mandella regime my cousins had there friends murdered when they did nothing wrong they were young teenagers who wernt old enuff to have a political view. Lucky they had enuff money to move and a family here 2 come to otherwise who knows what could of happened
No ya wrong there m8 ..... not every white south african was a opressin raceist I agreed a lot of them were bad but not all mandella and his followers took it out on every whiteman and family there m8. What would the white english man be if we took it out on every muslim in out country for what bin laden and his followers did ...... then they pit the man up on a pettystool like he a god and a peace maker..... ballacks he was only in it for himself if he did care about his country he would of spent that 40 billion dollars as ya man said earlier in this post on education and hospitals for his people not arming them to the hilt with weaponry and letting ya capital city go to the dogs what did he give south africa freedom ??? To do what rape and murder each other. I understand everyome has a view on it just mine are stronger than most sorry if I have offended anyone through what I have said
