They are calling them murderers, but I see people who reacted to oppression and injustice. The system that failed them in the first place is now persecuting them for being defensive. They acted where the majority would choose to lie low. It is a known fact that administrators and police act like small gods in rural areas with the demeanor of colonial administrators. I still do not understand how these old people managed to kill anyone. The police could simply be using them to punish the entire village.

Anarchism is an orientation toward social life and social relations that is ultimately no orientation at all. In fact, anarchism might best be thought of as a disorientation; that is, an approach which openly values fractured, uncertain, and unrealized understandings and practices as the emerging essence of social life. What follows, then, is guaranteed to be an incomplete account of anarchism and anarchist criminology, a failed attempt at orientation. This failure certainly derives from the account’s origins in the work of a single author, and from that author, like others, being caught up in the dementia of deadlines and daily work. But it also derives from the nature of anarchism itself. Like most all theoretical or practical models, anarchism incorporates a variety of limitations and contradictions (Feyerabend 1975). Unlike most other orientations, anarchism acknowledges and celebrates these failings, and doesn’t bother to hide them behind cloaks of absolute certainty or competence.
It does not matter. people are tired. whether you imprison them or not does not make a difference. the system has radicalised them. any uniformed officer who will not join the citizens to liberate our country will suffer the consequences. He will kill himself, or be killed by vijana wa odi, ama akuliwe wife,
They were reacting to anarchy the best way they know. That chief and the police are the real agents of anarchy. In this case the villagers are the victims of crime perpetrated by those who should be fighting the same.
Kituo cha haki and numerous other NGO should provide these people with a competent lawyer watu wajitetee from a defensive perspective kesi iwe manslaughter. After some few years in you’re out and life goes on.
We can sit here and castigate these people all day. But when your back has been pushed to the wall there is nothing you won’t do to hit back. Many whose hustle involves vehicular transport have at one point or other harbored thoughts of killing these fucking retards called policemen. A few have actually been knocked down by fed-up motorists.
If an OCS can be killed by such old folks then it might be just as well. Some of our policemen behave like untrained half-wits, they are too reckless and think their work ni kuhangaisha raia tu since they have guns.
This would be the right time.to stand up against this kind of treatment by authorities.
If we only had genuine human rights advocates.
They might be fanning the hatred between them and the community thinking they are sorting out the issue.
