Sent to me by Reader Greg S., this little pearl from Julius Malema, head of South Africa’s Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) political party:
“I’m willing to condemn murder, but not of white people.”
Fair enough; but I’m likewise willing to condemn political assassination, but not of Julius Malema.
See how that works, asshole?
Julilus Malema wants to fight freedom, so that’s where the problem comes from.
But yes, the idea of picking and choosing who receives the protections of law is the problem of the age, and it is like Jefferson’s fire bell in the night, and in this case, a warning that Malema is not to be trusted with any power beyond his front gate.
