A terrible price to pay

The stories about all the refugees trying to make their way into Europe get more tragic every week.  There is hardly a week that passes by where you don’t hear of more deaths in the Mediterranean or somewhere in Europe.  A recent case involved a truck with 71 bodies inside it, which was found, after the blood started pouring out the back of the truck.  Stories like this make me ill.  I cannot believe the depravity of the drivers who leave people in a truck like that and run away to leave them to die.  Honestly at times like that I think of Israeli tactics – their family homes should be demolished in addition to them going to prison for the rest of their lives.  People have to be taught that savagery like this will be punished severely.

The refugees have been abandoned by their traffickers locked in the back of trucks, locked in the holds of ships and in huge numbers all over Europe.  Every day we read of them drowning and in case after case they don’t know exactly how many have drowned other than inevitably it is over 100.  There are massive waves of people trying to get away from their countries, and in particular wars that they are trying to avoid, and coming from every direction to Europe and Germany in particular, and will continue to do so until the traffickers are dealt with.  Some places like Sicily and Italy have become flooded with migrants, who are sleeping in the streets and around corners, and is upsetting as that must be to the local people, one cannot simply ignore them all.

This is disgusting but also stupid on the people's half of trying to do this. We have worse crimes happening in S.A on a daily basis but this goes to prove S.A isn't the only place with terrible crime.

This whole situation is terrible. These people are so desperate they will travel in the back of a truck with no windows or toilets with their babies for days and then they are left to suffocate to death. It makes me physically ill to think of how they suffered at the hands of people who took their money with no intention of actually delivering them to anywhere safe.

As much as this whole situation is disgusting and horrific, every day abominations are happening in South Africa and the police service is so shocking the criminals are just getting away with it such as the four year old little girl who was raped and left hanging in a tree last week. Sick sick sick people in this world

Protect your children!!!! Teach your children what is wrong and right so they can never behave in such terrible ways towards others
