b00n,
Maybe I should change my line opener la. Change it to leg opener! Yeah! hahaha
Anyway, I forgot about the ah longs and thanks for pointing that out too. Yeah, the chinese do those ah long nonsense but look at it this way. If the people don't take anything from the ah long, the ah long won't do anything to the people. So, it's the victim him/herself who initiates the problems with ah longs.
On the contrary, robber-rapists are different. Whether or not you have anything to do with them, they'll still do what they do. So that's the difference that I see there.
I've asked the same question, "How did the robbers get into the residential compound in the first place? WTF was the guard doing?" Of course, if the guard was knocked out or something un-preventable, then yeah, that's an understanding. But heck, no mention about the guard.
Just so to be not so discriminating, I understand that the M16 gang who does big time robberies are related to chinese. I'm not sure to what extent that's true but it seems to me (personally me) that when chinese performs robbery, it's those big time stuff. But even that, they don't go and rape the victims. Maybe they did shoot a few victims but I believe that if the victims do as they say, no harm will be done to the humans. Maybe someone can enlighten me on this?
