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.

It was a car chase involving about 20 vehicles speeding through the streets of Germiston, with shots being fired.
The good guys, members of the Verwoerdpark Community Police Forum, were chasing robbers who had just netted three vehicles in a 30-minute hijacking spree.
Their hunting ground was the suburbs of Albemarle and Verwoerdpark, which is in Alberton.
The chase, which began just after 8pm on Tuesday, ended when the robbers started shooting at their pursuers.
Unarmed, the CPF members had to allow the hijackers to make their escape.
The hijackers, believed to be at least four men, driving in a white Toyota Corolla, hijacked their first vehicle in Swallow Street, Albemarle, just before 8pm.

The car, a Toyota Hilux Double Cab, was driven by Henk Latsky, who had just arrived at his home with his 11-year-old daughter. They had bought milk at a nearby shop when the white Corolla pulled up behind them, blocking their exist.
“One man, armed with a 9mm Parabellum, came to my side. I begged him not to shoot my daughter. She was able to get out quickly,” said Latsky.
Neither Latsky or his daughter were harmed, and the men made off with the bakkie.
According to a member of the Verwoerdpark CPF, the alarm was raised through a radio network, and members were told to be on the lookout for the cars.
The hijackers, now in two vehicles, in the meantime had made their way across the N3 highway into Verwoerdpark.
The CPF member said that on Wendy Street they struck again, this time a Corsa bakkie.
Then they travelled a little further down Wendy Street and hijacked again, their target another bakkie, a Nissan one-tonner. But this time they were spotted by a patrolling CPF member.
“He was able to tell us what direction they were travelling,” said the CPF member, who did not want to be named.
Soon a chase developed, with the growing convoy heading down Black Reef Road. The CPF were gaining when suddenly five or six shots rang out.
“I think for them it became a case of we have to do something fast, and they fired a couple of warning shots. We had to back off,” the CPF member said.
The hijackers then split up. One of vehicles headed into the Germiston CBD, another took the N17 highway and a third went to nearby Lambton.
Police were later able to track the Nissan to Lambton.
Police officers in the area later said it was the first time they had experienced multiple hijackings by a single gang in such a short period of time.
“For many of us, being shot at for the first time was a bit of a wake-up call,” said the CPF member.
