Now this is some real fucked up law

Now this is law at its best ....

South African police shot and killed 34 miners when they held a protest. Now their colleges who also protested with them will be charged with the miners murders whom the police shoot dead.

"Workers arrested at South Africa's Marikana mine will be charged later with the murder of 34 colleagues shot by police, an official has said.

A prosecuting authority spokesman told the BBC that 270 workers would be tried under the "common purpose" doctrine."

"Under South African law all of the demonstrators can be tried for "common purpose", where armed suspects provoke police reaction by attacking officers, resulting in death."


And to think i lived under their laws for 17 years ..pfft
