WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

SA: Armed gang targets casino

By Laura Lopez Gonzalez Armed with AK-47s and pistols, a gang of between 12 and 15 men have stormed the Carnival City casino, opening fire on clients, staff and police in an armed robbery that left two police officers seriously wounded. The men poured into the casino’s main gambling hall using multiple entrances just after midnight on Sunday. “They ordered everyone to ‘sleep’, to get on the ground,” said witness and casino patron James Lepoko. He, fellow patrons and staff members hit the floor as shopkeepers locked their doors, seeking refuge in back rooms. Shots rang through the hall as the gunmen aimed their guns at the ceiling, Lepoko said. A patron was shot in a leg and a female casino employee was injured when one of the men struck her in the face with his gun, according to Gauteng SAPS communication officer Superintendent Eugene Opperman. Boksburg police, alerted by suspicious surveillance officers, arrived in under 10 minutes, according to Carnival City general manager Riaan van Rooyen. In the ensuing gunfight, two officers suffered serious injuries. Though the two were said to be in a stable condition on Sunday, police were withholding the hospital’s location so as to safeguard the officers’ safety. “The gang came from everywhere, from every entrance,” said an eyewitness and employee who spoke on condition of anonymity. “If I said 50 shots had been fired that wouldn’t be enough.” He said the casino issued strict orders barring employees from speaking to the press. Staff and patrons were sequestered until about 4am as police and casino management tried to piece together the intricacies of what witnesses described as a highly co-ordinated plan. The casino was fully operational by midday and no signs of the heist and shootout were visible – bullet holes had been patched, broken glass repaired and patrons seemed oblivious to the earlier chaos. According to Sun International sources, no one had yet determined how the gang and their many cars were able to breach the casino’s outside security. Two vehicles allegedly used in the heist were later recovered. Van Rooyen said investigations into the exact amount of cash stolen were continuing. |
