Righteous Kill (in defence of Mr Malema)

 Dear Mr Malema 

There's been quite a fuss over the incident below:

"Don’t make noise here, we are here to listen, don’t make noise here. I will f*ck you up outside, I will kill you outside, I will kill you. You do not know me,” Malema is heard saying to a fellow PAP member during a heated altercation"

You have been heavily criticised. Let's look at this incident in perspective. (If the report is accurate and not concocted by one of the bloody agents careering around the country).

You emphasized that you would kill the person OUTSIDE . This is typical of your respectful attitude to parliament. How would it look having a corpse littering the floors of those hallowed halls? And one that had not only been killed but f*cked up as well. Good thinking, sir, even in the heat of an altercation.

I'm totally with you on the noise issue. Psychologists tell us that listening is like oxygen to people dying to be heard. Your record on fighting for the rights of people to be heard speaks for itself. As does your aversion to bullying and hooliganism. I think you've demonstrated this in various parts of the country. If you'll just let me get my records...Hmm, Brackenfell, parliament, Clicks, altercation with policeman... Er, let's get back to that later.

  

You also pointed out that the person did not know you. It is a basic courtesy to introduce oneself to the prospective victim. Can't fault you there, sir. 

You made a sound argument for rotation of the PAP presidency (great acronym). One way to facilitate that is to remove the odd member more or less permanently. It would seem the person in question was decidedly odd. You were reportedly moved to call him a 'thing'.

''Remove this thing from the house. We are not going to sit here and be bullied by this guy," he said.

Sir, we live in difficult, dangerous times. 'The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity.' Warms one's heart to see someone stand up for decency, democracy, respect, peaceful discussion. Even if it means f*cking someone up to achieve them.

Yours in the fight for peace.
