that guy should be killed.

I agree that this picture is absolutely ridiculous and should not be broadcast anywhere...something else to note aswell, does anyone agree in thinking the fact of the man holding the rifle is photo-shopped?

Junk and incomplete supposition of a many years old story rehashed and inconclusive have to read the sources to even get a clue to factual reports.

Brian McNeil has advised an alternative approach. Thanks BRS

This picture makes me hang my head in shame to be a white South African. Cretins like these should be put in jail. He is spreading hatred a-la Malema and ANC Youth League. Be assured that this man is NOT representative of the majority of SA whites.

Even if the child was being paid for posing this blows on the flames of hatred and racism. Julius Malema can manage by himself, we don't need whites to also jump on the racism and hate bandwagon. 156.8.251.250 (talk) 20:55, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

Its not racist, its a joke and the kid was paid, i bet he was happy to get money for a picture. Stop being such overreacting pansys, with out laughter there is no happiness.

It's not racist? Are you serious?? But I'm sure that if it had been the other way around, a dead white kid with a non-white person gloating over his body with a gun, you would be outraged. Even if the kid was paid to lie there, I'm sure he was too young to understand the gravity of what he was being paid to do. It is sick, and so are you for thinking it's funny.

NOT RACIST?? you surely must be joking!! Laughing at pictures like this while farm murders and killing of whites go on in this country while YOU want to laugh at a picture that WILL blow on the flames?

Sure is shameful. But Wikinews so desperate for news after disputing 70 story's in 2 weeks and 3 weeks faulure to detete junk. They are dieing of old age Journalists kissing each others things. News goes on but they dredge up many years old stories, dead Storm Irene stories etc to otherwise find only a story a week to publish. RIP Wikinews.
