I Wonder How This Behaviour Would Be Treated In The DRC..?

Lyoya had two young daughters and five siblings, said the governor Gretchen Whitmer, who spoke to his family.
“He arrived in the United States as a refugee with his family fleeing violence. He had his whole life ahead of him,” Whitmer said.

But rather than show gratitude for the opportunity, he chose...well, read on. 

The traffic stop was tense from the start. Video shows Lyoya, a native of the Democratic Republic of Congo, getting out of the car before the officer approached. He ordered Lyoya to get back in the vehicle but the man declined. The officer asked him if he spoke English and demanded his driver’s license. The foot chase began soon after, video shows.

In the DRC, they probably don't bother with all the fuss of an investigation of people who end up dead resisting arrest...

Mark Washington, the city manager, warned that the videos would lead to “expressions of shock, of anger and of pain”. Some downtown businesses boarded up their storefronts, and concrete barricades surrounded police headquarters.

Why? Because he's entirely the agent of his own misfortune. If you are granted refugee status, shouldn't the least your adopted country expect from you that you obey its laws..?

  2. “We only moved into this white neighbourhood because we were told the crime rate here was low. But in the three years we’ve been here, the crime rate has rocketed”, Mrs Jigaboo Bwaahaa told the reporter. Mrs Bwaahaa, a Nigerian citizen, is a single mother with eight children, and lives in a flat on benefits that only run to a little more than £8,000 per month. Her sons, Steally Bonabo, Stabby Nifeandle, Cokedeelah Chiggunmuncher and Grafee Teesprayman confirmed what their mother said, while her four daughters were too busy outside flagging down cars to give a comment initially, until their mother called them in. “Come now, Dollarablo, Handajobbee, Nitrembla and Cuminmee – tell this nice lady how bad trade is on this estate.”

  3. Africa is another continent, they do things differently there. Guy I know was a policeman in South Africa. One day he got sent out to a rural property where there were reports of a body lying in the fenced compound around a house. He discovered that the owners of the house had gone away and left their Boerboel dogs (google them, they're massive guard dogs) roaming the compound. Some local native had climbed the fence and attempted to break in to the house, the dogs had got him and finished him off. The police just removed the body and chalked it up as 'one of those things'.

  4. @Sobers,

    Just askin' - were the householders expecting the dogs to find their own food? Had the native just climbed the fence to feed them (ha ha!). How much of the corpse was left, or had the dogs turned their noses up at it?

    Please, allow the local drug dealers a decent interval to mourn!

    "Her sons, Steally Bonabo..."

    I'm soooo borrowing that next time! πŸ˜‚

    "...and left their Boerboel dogs (google them, they're massive guard dogs) roaming the compound."

    Oh, I didn't need to google, their reputation proceeds them!

    "Just askin' - were the householders expecting the dogs to find their own food?"

    And the Good Lord provided! 🀣
