How often is the wrong person shot dead?
How often does the police officer, parent or friend wish he/ she could reverse the process after killing a suspect?
When we consider all the wonderful inventions and inventors from SA, like Pratley Putty from Krugersdorp, which gone to the moon; dolosse at our harbours; the Kreepy Krawley, Chris Barnard, and my hero, Elon Musk, I wonder about non-lethal ‘bullets’.
Our clever veterinarians may be able to rethink the darts used on wild animals to make a universal dosage with reaction faster and ‘safer’ for different weights of humans.
Or perhaps our technology experts can work on a tazer-type bullet that can incapacitate a suspect at a distance.
So many brilliant brains out there – some even retired to the porch – how miraculous, and potentially lucrative, [would it be] to come up with a viable solution to a heart-rending problem.
