LOL!!!! I thought her being from Argentina she would have known better. What is the number 1 rule of travel outside the West; do not expose personal belongings to the outside world. I have a passport lanyard concealed under my shirt. The women should have used one of those pouches that go under clothing around the waist. But no, she wanted to look fashionable.

Police said she could choose the robber’s punishment. I’d go for the old “chop off a hand” punishment.

Of course, we know the thief will never be caught.

Nah. Too brutal.

Make them listen to Nancy Pelosi for 96 hours straight.

On second thought 🤔, that’s almost as brutal.

I guess I'm just not that cosmopolitan, but I have zero desire to visit any foreign country anymore, especially some rat hole like that.

Heck, it's all I can stomach to visit some stores in Tulsa. Reminds me of shopping for souvenirs in messyco.

... not sure why anyone would think that there are civilized people in any country that is a muslim shiite-whole. The entire premise of the cult of islam is that non-muslims are lesser beings and can be treated as such without consequences. Robbery and murder are acceptable if the victim is non-muslim.

In the USA, today’s political left is just a slightly less violent version of islam. Both are a cancer that should be literally cauterized.

Yup—I thought they were going to ask her if she wanted the thieve’s hand returned along with her stolen items.

;-)

The only upside to that would be the end of the LBQRTY trend.

She said as she danced with fans, items from her handbag were stolen

Arms in the air, like she just didn't care... She's lucky it didn't turn worse. A CBS reporter in Cario, Egypt learned this the hard way during the Obama Riots. And she was lucky it didn't get worse.

Good thing she was not in the NYC subway she would have also been pushed in front of a train and killed.

How about 96 hours of “It’s A Small World After All” on loop.
