RE: Holiday Parking

Not exactly my neck of the woods, I'm in Johannesburg and that shooting is happening in Cape Town. It seems to be related to feuding gangs.

Sadly, nobody does anything much until people start burning shit, it's a tradition referred to as "the smoke that calls" because then local politicians start showing up to reassure communities that something is actually being done, problem being that there are no quick fixes because the infrastructure was allowed to decay to that level...

Ah, gotcha, kinda opposite ends of the country looks like. Wasn't really sure where you were or where it happened.

The smoke that calls, going to have to remember that. Doesn't sound too different from how things go with racism and policing here.
