do you know why the police started shooting?
because police dogs was caught, set alight and beaten to death. Dr Melville Edelstein, who had devoted his life to social welfare AMONG BLACKS was stoned to death by the students and left with a sign around his neck proclaiming 'Beware Afrikaaners'. You asked for it!!!! kaffers!
