does anyone else not feel sorry for the kenya folks that burned to death?

Your comment seems to have nothing to do with the conversation at hand. The Kenyans were not kidnapping people.... Kenyans being killed because a tanker exploded had nothing to do with your kidnapping incident in Nigeria. The only connection seems to be this ridiculous idea that you posted that all crimes seemed to be punishable by death (or maybe your morals only apply to Africans???)

pretty sure it wasnt a racist post...pretty sure it was just a comment about how chaotic things are there

I was responding to this...

They were not kidnapping people and holding them for ransom. They were trying to get some free fuel. They were stealing a can of gas each, a few bucks. Hardly a crime deserving being burned alive for.

with this...

They were committing a crime and got killed doing it.

This part was just an aside:

Interesting you comment they weren't kidnapping people... The energy industry loses a lot of people every year to kidnappings in Africa.

Something stuck out about anyone mentioning that these people weren't actually kidnapping and killing people. Usually when you hear about Africa and the energy industry in the same sentence, it's because people are stealing product out of pipelines (and possibly exploding themselves) or kidnapping scores of contractors and killing them for no reason.



Getting past that part...

I dont see where I posted that...

There’s not enough detail in the report, the fuel tanker could have ruptured and fuel was pouring out into the ground, so on that basis it could be argued the villagers were simply saving a useful resource from being wasted and also from damaging the environment. Equally though, standing in line waiting to fill a bucket with fuel from a vehicle accident is incredibly stupid. If they have any sense they’ll get some nice big ‘no smoking’ signs pre-painted for next time.

You can pretty much validate any death on the planet. Dictators and religious leaders are experts in this area.
