FW de Klerk, the former president of South Africa and the last white person to lead the country, has died at the age of 85.

 

Mr de Klerk, who was also a key figure in the nation's transition to democracy, had been diagnosed with cancer this year, a spokesman said.

 

Mr de Klerk was head of state between September 1989 and May 1994.

 

In 1990 he announced he was releasing anti-apartheid leader Nelson Mandela, leading to multi-party polls in 1994.

 

A statement from the former president's FW de Klerk Foundation on Thursday morning read: "Former President FW de Klerk died peacefully at his home in Fresnaye (Cape Town) earlier this morning following his struggle against mesothelioma cancer."

The foundation had announced the diagnosis - a cancer that affects the lining of the lungs - in June this year.

 

FW de Klerk had taken over from PW Botha as the head of the National Party in February 1989 and the following year announced he was removing the ban on parties that included Mr Mandela's African National Congress (ANC).

 

His actions helped bring an end to apartheid-era South Africa, and he became one of the country's two deputy presidents after the multi-party elections in 1994 that saw Mr Mandela become president.

 

He shared the Nobel Peace Prize with Mr Mandela in 1993.

 

However, his role in the transition to democracy was always highly contested. Last year, he became embroiled in a row in which he was accused of playing down the seriousness of apartheid. He later apologised for "quibbling" over the matter.

"Rather, based upon information known to Brownlow, the presence of a mass shooter, and the potential for a second mass shooter in a red shirt carrying a rifle and a handgun turned toward a hub of community activity, warranted deadly force and no lesser degree of force would eliminate the potential threat," her letter determined.

USA Today wrote this article about the "rampage" that DIDN'T take place because a civilian gunowner (as reported in previous related posts) stopped the cop killer only to be shot to death without any verbal warning from a STUPID ASS negligent muni cop.

 

The citizen who stopped the killer is referred to only as "Samaritan" in USA Today's bullshit.

 

Gun control racket in action, anon.

 

 

Arvada, Colorado, rampage came 2 days after Gov. Polis signed gun bills in response to Boulder shootings

Authorities in Colorado tried to determine Tuesday what prompted a shooting spree in a suburban Denver shopping district that left a police officer, bystander and suspect dead.

 

The shooting Monday afternoon in Old Town Arvada came two days after Colorado Gov. Jared Polis signed three gun control bills in response to another shooting – a gunman's rampage at a Boulder supermarket 20 miles away that killed 10 people three months ago.

 

The bills require expanded background checks before gun purchases and reverse a ban that kept local governments from creating their own gun regulations. The state is creating an Office of Gun Violence Prevention.

"My thoughts are with the family and friends of those killed including an Arvada Police Officer who was tragically killed in the line of duty while swiftly and bravely responding to protect civilians," Polis tweeted late Monday.

 

Arvada police provided few details on the carnage. Police responded to a suspicious incident near a library in the area, then received a 911 call about 15 minutes later reporting shots fired, Deputy Police Chief Ed Brady said.

 

The bystander was identified only as a "Samaritan." The officer was 19-year police veteran Gordon Beesley, who was a school resource officer known for developing relationships with students, city officials said.

 

While school was out for the summer, Beesley was working on patrol when he was hit by gunfire.

 

According to his school resource officer biography, he played the drums in a band and enjoyed hiking, biking, skiing and camping with his family. His motto was “Look for the good in every day.”

 

Brady Turner, 18, was eating lunch at the Arvada Army Navy Surplus store when he heard three gunshots and screaming. He told the Denver Post he fled the area.

 

“I was looking in all directions to make sure no one was following me,” he said.

Employees at the Arvada Chamber of Commerce, less than a block from the shooting site, sheltered in the building’s basement for more than an hour after the gunfire subsided.

 

“Our hearts are with the Arvada Police Department and all who were impacted today,” Chamber President Kami Welch said in a statement to the Post.

 

Mayor Marc Williams said he was driving in the area when he saw about a dozen police cars with their flashing lights and sirens race past.

 

"I knew something serious had happened," he said. "I didn’t know how serious.”

 

A phalanx of police officers in a lengthy procession of vehicles accompanied the slain officer’s body from the scene to the Jefferson County Coroner’s Office. Scores of residents gathered to pay respect to the officer.

 

"Remember Officer Beesley and all the lives he touched during his career," tweeted Colorado State Patrol Troop 2C. "Blessed are the peacemakers. #ThinBlueLine"
