So the threat was in San Francisco not Sandton

What must we do about that, do we have to provide security for her husband

Its because of them regarding police as Americas enemy,now look what has happened. The chickens have come to their home to roost.

Where was their intelligence?

Well the laws on the state of California are off their own design, from what I hear from the insanely run Democrat led state, so this is off their own doing, no sympathies over here.

What's stopping SA residents 👀
