Remember that viral video of brazen pick pocket children stealing?

they're in Tijuana too.

i was there about 10 years ago and suddenly this group of kids
descends on me, like 10-15 of them. started pinching me, rubbing
my arms, all little distractions from the fact that 1 or 2 of them trying
to reach in my pockets.

where they found a loaded MOUSETRAP !

actually, they might have gotten a $20 bill, i don't remember.

someone should show those gypsy kids Ocean's Eleven so they
can work on their technique. by watching Matt Damon & George
Clooney no less.
 
gypsies in tijuana?
anyways later on in the documentary they show villas in romania built by the money from the organized form of this pick pocketing/theft. the kids shown in spain just hang around the atms...and when you log in and get to the screen for selecting payment i guess they barge in and try to push the button for the highest payout and run off with the money. that or just reach in when the money comes out.
 
That's what pickpocketing kids in the Philippines did, back in the 80's, when I was going there while in the navy (we had a base at Subic Bay). You learned to keep your cash in your sock or shoe, or in your front pocket with your ID card, and you jammed your hands in your pockets whenever you'd see these kids coming.

Definitely, do NOT carry a wallet! Kids have been known to use razor blades to cut the pocket open to get a wallet, and it really doesn't bother them much if they happen to cut a little deep, and get some flesh along with it! Can't imagine those blades are too clean, and no telling what sort of infection you could end up with!! :shocked:
 

Human trafficking is a common practice for thousands of years, and not so long ago it was deemed as a legal practice in North America.

Sad.
 
haha, that happened to me in Jamaica. We got swamed by lil fuckers, they were like 'OOO SHINEY BELT' or something, but I knew what they were doing...this was back in 04-05.

That happened to me on several occasions and they succeeded in robbing me twice in Vietnam. It also happened to me in Mexico but I didn't lose anything.

Oh, and what are the laws on beating them when robbing you?
That is a terrible reply.

The problem clearly stemmed from the adults that put the children in such conditions. Criminals does not directly link them self to the crime, and often they uses children of their own, others people children, or in some cases they kidnap the children to enslave them and turn them into criminals.

I don't know if you met any gypsies, but man are they agressive and annoying. The whole gipsy society needs to effin evolve and get on with the rest of the humanity.

I have met many Gypsies and some are extremely aggressive/annoying just as aggressive/annoying people from other civilized nations.

I also have met Gypsies that denounce crimes and now are upstanding professionals.

IMO, Gypsies that still living the nomadic lifestyle are not bound by tradition but by situation. Many Gypsies are in a predicament that is very difficult for them to get out.

10 years ago i was dodging bullets and collecting shrapnels for fun. Today i'm going to university studying engineering. Everyone has the opportunity to get out of their hole. Overall i don't think they have the ambition to get out. Whatever floats the boat i guess.

How old were you 10 years ago?

More than 30 years ago I was dogging bullets and bombs, and that didn't pull me into the life of crimes. I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to worked as a kid during the war and after to support my family and to further my education. And, I have seen during my travels that many people do not have that chance, or they were kidnapped/force by adult into the life of crime.

<--- grew up in Vietnam during the war, was taken by the communist at 12 year old to serve as child soldier, literally was shot at & bombed on, father were put into "reeducation camp" (labor camp), risking death to escape Vietnam, literally lived in refugee slums out of cardboard boxes, have experienced days with out food or water, BA of industrial design, BS comp sci, plumbing & gas journeyman cert, 3rd year HVAC, and haven't taken anything that I didn't work for.

PS. It is easy to painting with broad strokes.

So you are saying you should just hang out and let them rob you, because its not their fault they're robbing you?

It is true to some extent that many Gypsies are content with their way of life. However, in many areas, Gypsies are a group that is still discriminated against. I'm not excusing their lifestyle, but overall it is quite hard for them to overcome society's bias.

It is more productive to address the problem at the source, which is the adults that put the kids up to stealing.

Did you watch the video?
The introduction indicated that the Gypsies children were traffics by criminals, they are enslaved/locked up like animals.
 
yea the parents are involved. i guess its like the travelers, crime families. but still, its amazing the squalor they live in...esp in europe. combined with the odd powerlessness of the authorities when it comes to children committing crime they got a really odd thing going on over there. i guess they are too politically correct to simply force them to reform.
