I wasnt doubting that it ever happened. Just have always been curious how much of it is just media sensationalism. Thanks

The media underreports the actual violence and severity of these attacks.
Well, I can only go by how its presented here in the US, and its usually in a way that gives the impression that its 24/7/365 mass murder. The same way inner city violence is portrayed here. I know first hand that is bullshit, so always assumed the same about the SA issue.
The US may sensationalise, but the South African media often covers up and refers to it as “allegedly” or “allegations” when it is a widely known fact.
Thats actually worse than the skewed reporting over here since it affects ya'll directly, not us.
That's true, the lack of reporting here is an attempt to prevent a nationwide uproar similar to the “Black Monday” protest on October 30, 2017. During that protest, there was a countrywide march against farm attacks. The communists in the government were not pleased and were surprised to find that whites could still stand up for themselves.
By running away as refugees? Nah they just grifters trying to get a fast ticket to the USA.
You don't even need to prove persecution to apply, you can just apply for refugee status
I wasn’t referring to those fleeing as refugees. You know we shoot farm attackers when we catch them, which is why the police rush to scenes to save their comrades. I bet you don’t hear that in the news.
That's because when the case is in court they have to say allegedly or allegations otherwise that's public disparity on a suspect without proving anything.
You should know this
You misunderstood me. I wasn’t referring to the suspects; I was referring to the act of killing white farmers, which they claim are only allegations.
