Ladies !! How would YOU have reacted?

South Africa is one of the least lawful countries on earth, with the 5th highest number of total crimes reported in 2002. Bet its much worse now. Some 32,000 of the 2.6 million crimes were murders with firearms, placing the country top of the global table, and 11,000 were manslaughters, the 2nd highest number. Unsurprisingly then, South Africa has an army of 101,000 in their police force.

I know men will have a different viewpoint as I know what my reaction would have been.

You are a soft hearted, law abiding, decent down to earth lady with a good education.

One day on a peaceful Sunday afternoon while sitting at your desk in your room, reading the blogs while Skyping with a friend you hear a strange noise way down in the other side of your home.

You excuse yourself and go take a look what has caused this noise. Halfway down the passage a tanned man....and not purple or pink) armed with a crowbar comes around the corner. You are unarmed defenceless thinking your home is your sanctuary. After the initial shock you realise no one will hear your screams, the neighbours are more than 200 meters away ....

Sorry I don't have the gift of telling a story soo dancing

What would YOU have done?dunno

What has what colour the man is got to do with it? Do you think women would react differently to a stranger in their house carrying a crow bar if he was a different colour?


Run like hell while screaming is my answer, even if he is pink with purple spots.
Its got a LOT to do with it. We in Africa here so if it was a white guy then your chances of surviving would have been reduced by 60%. doh
carry on...
Mr G. I'm on my way...laugh handshake
do u say, if it was a white burglar, robber, bandit he would kill more and faster then a black?
dunno
Im saying that he was black not white or pink a killer is a killer
Here the color don't matter either. You invade my privacy then I will try and run. If cannot run then will turn and defend myself. Simple as that. hmmm I have had training in self defense boxing I live in south Florida not a good place to be an intruder uh oh
Grab the loaded gun that is hidden by the bed-side table, sit on the bed, facing the door and wait for the intruder uh oh
123 the right attitude yes, but would it have helped?dunno
hmmm Luke;
Here in the usa! That would be a 50/50, on black or white guy here.
Anywho! I will fight him so hard, he will reach for my phone . And call the police on me. True story!.......wine
Well it would be very scarey and it wouldn`t matter what colour man he was... it would be very daunting. I know for me I would be praying in my heart to ask Heavenly Father to help me know what to say and how to deal with it then I would act upon the promptings I would receive. Knowing me I would ask why he was doing what he was doing and try to keep very calm, hoping he was just a diturbed but harmless man...but inside I would be probably be screaming help help help doh
If the guy was an alien I too would have mentioned that. Any adult knows crime has no color barriers. BUT HE WAS PINK. ok now everyone can be happy. doh

The question was How would you have reacted?
Luke!
drinking I was just saying.............bouquet
angel I salute you. wow You would have fought a 200lb guy with a crowbar. rolling on the floor laughing Bet you would have won too.laugh

Zeurich;
You has a tree, in your house? um! That's strange.
Unless you lives in a tree house....uncertain
Zeu, you must remember that you are in the passage which is just over a meter wide, no trees in site.laugh
Scouse, good to see you. The reason I was asking this was because it actually happened to Kittyjoy while I was Skyping with her at that time. Can you imagine the feeling of helplessness I felt hearing every word and not being able to respond. Not good at all.cheers
rolling on the floor laughing angel I prefer a tree-house. Much safer.laugh
Luke;
.Good ideal.....................rolling on the floor laughing
123 Like I just told Scouse it actually happened while I was Skyping with her.(Kittyjoy} Yes its easy to talk about after but when its going down its really no joke.thumbs down
Angel,

laugh guadal ;
..................................rolling on the floor laughing
ah then other thing I am good at pee in my own pants,,,, either one of them if no tree then that is the other optionlaugh laugh laugh
Theresa,,, The sad part of it was when I called the cops in her area they actually put me on hold after I told them what was going down in her home at that moment. wine
Wallop, we are thinking alike in this, have heard some wonderful stories of surprising results from doing just what you said and I was thinking.......hug
So Luke, you will tell us what happened, as you sat helplessly by?
hello all.....applause
@Luke...ai man..I know you felt so helpless but I honestly feel if it wasn't for your voice on skype the bugler would have thought I was alone and then it could have been another matter altogether...thank you so much for being there for me when I really needed it....hug teddybear
rolling on the floor laughing Zeu, thats one way of looking at it..laugh
Hi Luke,

Where I live, if someone breaks into your house and tries to harm you, you can defend yourself any way you can. My preference is to shoot him/her with a shotgun or a 9MM. The law is on your side here!

I am a trained Marine Corps vet and I would have no qualms about shooting someone.
2nd, best I leave that to Kittyjoy.
Kitty, I hope everything is ok with you now?hug
wow Kitty! So glad you are safe! Wow! Luke! You Da man!!!cheering teddybear
Luck. I know what you are talking about , some times I dont want to read the news papers, there are places that have become No go areas

Yet when my dauther son in law and Iceman <grand son> was there thay where all over the Island thay have even made friends ,

Popeye <my son in law > sits on the road-side with orther Jamaicans having a good time as if the Island belongs to him. I saw Japanees women living in the middle of Kingston...Yet when one read the paper it seems like the
Island is coming apart..

South Africa is a rich place with its peoples a place I would love to see to learn your dance songs and storys, To see Joe.burg

to see the Town ships maybe even go down into a gold mines

and to have a game of cricket.....not to talk about the wine...

South Africa will change again, only some times when we are part of this change we will not see the change happening...

Walk good.cheers
Jim, here the law favours the perpetrator. SA is known as the country where crime actually pays.
doh Kittyjoy;
I hope that you are doing ok!..................hug
Hi all....wave ...as Luke so rightly said we were busy skyping and chatting away when I heard a strange noise coming from somewhere in my house...and when I went to check it out I discovered a man in my house armed with a crow bar coming at me....I reversed down the passage shouting at Luke to call the police ..when I got to my bedroom door I slammed the security gate and called the cops to come at once..and then I called some relatives I knew close by to come to my aid as well....at this point the robber after a quick look around to see what he could help himself to left before the cops and everyone else arrived..to this day I maintain that that robber heard Luke's voice and was under the illusion I was not alone and that was why he decided to leave.....conversing
