The local version of the evil, which organised crime represents, is no different to or less repulsive than the universal one.
Evil is evil is evil.
I don't see shades of extortion, drug dealing, prostitution, corruption of law enforcement agencies. There is no half-guilty verdict in a court of law, as well there should not be. Let me state, unequivocally, that I have great sympathy for the frustration of the families involved, at street level, in dealing with the horrors that abound in most of South Africa today. But I have a definite problem with fighting lawlessness with equal lawlessness, violence with equal violence, death with equal death. I have great sympathy with and loudly support the aims of the IRA, but I vehemently oppose their modus operandi in attempting to achieve those aims.
