Another example of what could happen to thieves, in Nairobi this time, and why police prefer a dead thief…
An expatriate had seen robbery attempts a few times in his places. Each time, his zealous Masai guards killed the intruders. For a Masai, a warrior at heart, the opportunities are too good to be missed. But the expatriate was begging, threatening them to spare the thieves and call the police. But to no avail. One night the burglary attempt happens while the man is at home so he hears the scream of the thief who was apparently slowly butchered by the Masai askaris. It seems they were playing like a cat with a mouse… Anyway he managed to make them stop and he called the police while still eyeing the fidgeting and angry guards. They must have felt like in a interrupted coitus…
The police arrived and got upset, questioned the askaris about the condition of the thief, that is that he was alive! Now they had to call an ambulance, got into a lot of paperwork, then in for a court appearance, then send him to jail on taxpayers’ money etc. Whereas a dead thief body is probably just dumped in the trash bin…
The askaris defended their case by pointing to that sissy of an expatriate who prevented the good job to be done. The cops must have rolled their eyes and sighted. Ah those delicate white people…
