An American woman and her safari guide who were kidnapped in a Ugandan wilderness park and held five days by armed captors were returned unharmed on Sunday after a ransom was paid for their release, authorities said.

Kim Sue Endicott of Southern California and her tour guide, Congolese national Jean-Paul Mirenge Remezo, were freed in a negotiated handover, officials said.

The whole thing was horrible, but at least they didn't harm her and released her.

I read that in some instances they killed the person, after getting the ransom.

When I was young, the gypsies kidnapped me.

They brought me back the next day and put a curse on my Dad.

I used to take my youngest to the park.

Every night I would go back and she would still be there.

(Just kidding.)

Actually in that part of the world, the chances are good that you will be unharmed.

Kidnapping and ransom are Muslim tools from way, way back in the day (like hundreds of years.)

If you kill the victim, th racket doesn’t have much to bank on.

Someone needs to hunt down and kill every one of those kidnappers. I am not amused by their business plan.

The gypsies are pikers. For a real adventure get kidnapped by space aliens and get anally probed by UN-lubricated instruments for a couple of days and you’ll know what an ordeal is really like.

My Mom And Dad moved a lot when I was in school.

I always bribed the local U-Haul guys to let me know where they went.

You know, one time, I made this lawyer so mad that he wrote me that he wished I would come to his town so he could have me arrested and thrown into prison so that a bunch of big black guys would rape me.

I wrote him back and told him that the Welcome Wagon in his town needed some work.

Seeing that she was stupid enough to go to a third-world shithole like Uganda, she should be required to reimburse the ransom.

In the beaver trapping heyday in the Rockies in the early 1800s the Blackfeet would kill any trappers they found while the Crow would just rob them.

When asked about this a Crow said " We like you and if we kill you you won't come back and we can't steal your horses again."

She or her family were the ones who paid the ransom.

Late last night I was attacked by two black homosexuals wearing “hope and change” hats who called me a “heterosexual honky” and told me this is “Obama country”; they tried to go “Rwandan genocide” on me with cheap Red Chinese machetes but I got away...

(on a related note, this guy who posed as a fake abducted kid is facing 8 years in jail for it - really?)

I had a student at the “youth center” (read prison for juveniles) that that happened to. His family moved away while he was at school.

So he might get 8 years for pretending to be a victim, but Jussie S. gets all charges dropped and a light tap on the wrist.

Well, then, the burden is justly placed.
