We are a stupid and overly-armed society.
The Newton County Sheriff’s Office is investigating why a couple was confronted at gunpoint by neighbors and then arrested and forced to spend the night in jail when they tried to move into the home they had just purchased, Channel 2 Action News reported.
The Kalonji family had just closed on a foreclosed home and were told by their real estate agent they should go over to the house and change the locks.
But when Jean Kalonji and his wife, Angelica, started working at the home, an armed man and another person who appeared to be the man’s son allegedly confronted them.
“He say to put the hands up and get out from the house, otherwise he would shoot us,” the husband told Channel 2.
Even better, the couple are recent immigrants from The Congo.
Why were they arrested? (I’m tempted to say “for being black”).
FFS America. Sort it out.
Why were they arrested
Well, for threatening their neighbors with a gun, of course. Oh wait…
Way to make the new immigrant feel like he is still at home.
Right now, my kids are outside and I am not totally sure where they are. The more stories I see of Americans prowling their neighborhoods with guns makes me glad I live where I can let me kids be kids outside.
Yet more crazy white on black bullshit I think.
Welcome to our happy country!
