84 Year Old Anti-Apartheid Activist And Husband Killed In Their Own Home
https://www.amren.com/news/2018/05/b...nt-hurt-a-fly/
The last thing Rosalie Bloch would have wanted was for her murder to be used to stir hatred and animosity in South Africa, her son Shaun Bloch said on Monday.
Rosalie, 84, and her long-time partner Aubrey Jackson, 94, were found murdered in their home in Mowbray, Cape Town on Saturday, May 5.
“We don’t want people to be fractured, or more polarised. There is enough of that happening,” Shaun told News24 on behalf of the family that has been left stunned by the murder.
“That is the last thing she would have wanted.”
The family just wants the perpetrators to be caught so that they can “put a face” to the couple’s killer or killers.
When he could not get hold of them on the phone on Saturday morning, they at first thought the couple were being “typical old people” who forget to switch on their cellphones.
‘Who would do this?’
They were going to take them to a family function, which was supposed to be a joyous event as Suzanne is expecting a baby.
After 10 phone calls went unanswered, they became worried, and went to the house.
Rosalie was found in the front of the house, and Aubrey at the back, with a back window broken.
“Who would do this to elderly defenceless people?” asked Shaun.
As he spoke to News24 by phone, detectives were searching for clues inside the taped-off property, while builders continued with renovations at the house next door.
Friends were given permission to take a few steps on to the property to lay flowers and notes of condolences under a small tree.
Anti-apartheid activist
A clothes horse with pegs on was visible on a balcony, and the curtains were drawn.
The path to the couple’s front door is through a low wooden gate off the road, set in a low brick and wrought iron wall, and leads past a faded ADT security service sign attached to a front wall, and up a flight of red steps.
It was the home that Shaun, his brothers Nigel, political activist Graeme, Lance, Guy, Hugh and sister Erica grew up in.
Over the years, the dining room table was extended to make space for the growing clan of partners and grandchildren, with “very lively debate” among the children who were brought up with a “strong sense of social justice”.
Rosalie was married to the late Cecil Bloch, a professor in plastic surgery at UCT, who did pioneering work around burn wounds and micro surgery on hands.
They divorced and his mother later began a 30-year-long relationship with Jackson, a divorced engineer with three children, Suzanne, Lynne and Lawrence.
Bloch said his mother was a practising attorney, and an activist against apartheid in her own right, in addition to mothering seven children.
She was also a member of the Black Sash, and Women for Peace, and often had to drop everything, pick up her lawyer’s bag and go to the aid of detainees who had been nabbed.
This included her own son Graeme, now an education expert, and Graeme’s wife, former United Democratic Front activist-turned-businessperson Cheryl Carolus.
Funeral, memorial being planned
Bloch and Jackson were very active and “feisty”, he said.
In addition to reading “anything she could get her hands on” and attending special lectures at UCT, his mother also did aqua-aerobics to help ease her osteoporosis.
In January the family gathered for a meeting with the elderly couple in the hopes of convincing them to move out of the house and into a place that would provide support for their changing healthcare needs.
There had also been “minor” attempted break-ins, and the family was also concerned about that.
“My mom had been 50 years in that home… and she seemed fairly adamant that she is going to live, and/or die in that home,” said Bloch.
She wanted to keep the home as a place that family could always return to.
A funeral and memorial service are still being planned.

Breitbart has a section dedicated to both, just like they used to have a section dedicated to crimes committed by black people.
It's ok to talk about issues elsewhere but MAGA's seem to be obsessed with these two particular things that have nothing to do with them for the most part.

Murder Surges 44 Per Cent In Khan’s London Amidst ‘Troubling’ Rise In Serious Crime
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3656861/posts
Sadiq Khan’s London has seen an “appalling escalation” of serious crimes including murder, violent robbery, and home burglary in the last year, according to new police data. Figures released by the London Assembly Police and Crime Committee showing the number of crimes in the year to March 2018 revealed the murder rate surged 44 per cent in 2017/18 to 157, compared with 109 in the previous 12 months.
Violent robbery and home burglary were up by about a third in the period, and youth killings rose by 30 per cent from 26 in 2016/17 to 34 in 2017/18.
The figures also showed sharp increases in the number of rapes (18 per cent), knife crime offences (21 per cent), and shootings (23 per cent) from the previous year’s data.
Committee chairman Steve O’Connell said: “The unacceptable rise in the most heinous crimes such as murder, street robbery and burglaries is deeply troubling.
“The Mayor of London and the Met need to take urgent practical steps to address these crimes, all of which are a third up from this time last year.
“Our committee will be asking what steps are being taken to keep Londoners safe and reverse this appalling escalation in crime.”
However, Metropolitan Police Assistant Commissioner Helen Ball told the London Assembly there are signs that the violent crime wave is “stabilising”, pointing to figures which showed “considerably lower” murder rates in April and May compared to the previous two months.
Highlighting a large increase in the Met’s use of stop and search, with officers having carried out more than 12,000 in April, she reported that the surge in knife crime seen earlier this year seems to be slowing down.

We knew the building manager and he broke it down to us. My buddy moved a few blocks away into a 1.5 million dollar home, with no section 8 housing people blasting music all night and having all night pool parties at the shared pool bbq facilities.
He’s been happy ever since.
