If I had to guess. The tough translation into real speak. Is they probably robbed and attacked a bunch of White People.
Major and to a lesser extent even minor Tourist Destinations are essentially Fortress Cities. The fact a group of 50 got in presumably with an explicit intention to rob Tourists is an interesting development.
Would be interesting to see if more attacks and robberies at Ports occur elsewhere. It would be indicative of a trend. That would likely see Security increased.
In the Bahamas crime against Tourists is big time spent in jail. I wouldnt be surprised if they took matters into their own hands with this 50. That is huge revenue lost that trickles into the Port City.
When I was in Freeport in '91 an islander kept wanting to braid my hair so I finally let her. She sat and spoke with me daily in front of my hotel on the beach. She said her brother was murdered and she was going to Nassau to see his murderer be hung. that's how they take care of that there too!
If only half the passengers disembark in Kenya each week during the port visit... and those spend on average $100 each at the port including souvenirs and tours... that is $66,000 per week income for the people of that port.
A group of a dozen passengers robbed of an average $300 each in watches, hand bags, cash, etc... is $3,600 gained by the thieves in a 1-time robbery.
Over a month, the port will lose $264,000 in lost tourism income vs. the $3,600 robbery gain. Combine that with OTHER cruise ships who may also now choose not to risk this port.
Either Kenya gets control of it now... or the economic consequences will speak for themselves.
The first time I ever went outside of the U.S.A. was in '94 to Nassau. It was nothing like it is today as far as development. I had my wife and my child and we were exploring. We saw a KFC and decided to get a fountain drink. As we neared the KFC 2 military personnel stepped out and blocked us. I put my wife and child behind me. They said "Oh we did not mean to scare you. But this area is dangerous and off-limits to visitors." They pointed in the direction we should be going in. I told them thank you very much. And we proceed on our way. Was I scared shitless you can bet your bippy I was. I told my wife that day I was going to take bullets for them.
Thieving groups of “50 youths” always seem to have something in common.
Probably a bunch of Obama's cousins.
