Aren’t people quick to forget…
I guess we have always been at war with the prawns, though.
Seems a bit too much, but may be warranted.
First of all, ‘xenophobia’ is a byproduct of nationalism. i.e. It’s the government’s goddam fault in the first place.
Secondly, you have to steal a hell of a lot more from the taxpayer to pay for those thugs in costume to go in to prevent a few convenience stores from being robbed.
Finally, you don’t need the frikken Overwatch to stop store burglaries. You need a shotgun, and it should be your right and responsibility as a store owner to have one if this sort of thing is a problem. 
It’s the government’s goddam fault that people don’t.
But you’re right… the sheeple are begging for state protection. That’s how it goes.
"Residents of Kya Sands informal settlement on Tuesday demanded that the army be deployed to protect them, saying police were not doing enough following overnight attacks apparently on foreigners.
Marcia Mocheka, a resident of the settlement north of Johannesburg, said they feared for their lives and did not think police were doing enough to protect them.
“These people are armed with axes and pangas and they can see the police patrolling. The minute they pass your shack, then the attackers come to kick your door,” she said."
