An Olympic athlete and his accompanying cameraman have been robbed of their luggage at a Rio hotel during a carefully designed theft which started with them being vomited on. Chinese hurdler Shi Donpeng had just arrived at his hotel in Brazil ahead of the start of the Olympics on Friday and was exhausted after the long journey from China.

I actually feel for these athletes. They’ve worked so hard for their whole lives to fulfill their (or their parents) Olympic dream. And now, that dream seems a bit like a nightmare they can’t escape.

This is going to be a nightmare. I foresee a lot of canned footage from other olympics since focusing on anything in Rio is going to be part of a Sarah McCloghlin video.

Nice world out there. Yep America needs to passively dissolve into the globalist community. Nothing exceptional with USA, we suck, we need to be more accepting of foreign cultures and people. Stop pretending we are special or different. We can learn so much from people of color. I am feeling sick. I think l will go rob someone.

Oh. I speed-read the headline as “Chinese hurler,” was going to say that the “hurler” became the hurlee.”

Never mind.

my grandparents travelled frequently. They said Rio was one of the places they would never go back to. Grandpa (a fairly savvy guy) got his front pocket picked and there was a dead body in the gutter in front of the hotel for several days before it was finally cleaned up.

Normally I’d have a haiku on tap for this story, but your post took the wind from my sail.

You win. Post of the day, damn you.

It is my daughter’s dream to participate in the Olympics. No way she was going to make it this year, but she has a couple more shots at it.

I told her to be thankful she didn’t make the cut this year.

A similar situation happened to my nephew. Back in the 90's he spent a year in Europe playing hockey. One day at a train station a Gypsy lady was approaching him with a baby in her arms when she suddenly tripped and the baby flew out of her arms right at my nephew.

While he attempted to catch the baby, the Gypsy lady's accomplice grabbed his camera bag which was lying beside his feet then made off with it.

When he finally realized it was gone so was the gypsy and her baby........LOL!
