Bryant Swenson and his wife Lauren, from Utah, were driving near Mai Mahiu on November 30 when three masked men attacked their car.
The couple, who moved to Nairobi with their three children to open a CrossFit gym, spotted a white van which the gangsters are believed to have been trying to rob.
Bryant said in a Facebook post about the attempted robbery, that one of the men was carrying a gun but “couldn't get it out of his waistbelt in time”.
As the bandits rushed towards their Toyota Land Cruiser, Bryant had to reverse backwards to give himself time to roll up his window before moving past the dangerous criminals.
He then quickly shifted back into drive and sped past the three bandits who hurled their giant blades at the passing car.

Or they could have gunned it forward and taken out at least two of them thus saving the neighborhood from future attacks. Machete vs. 5 ton SUV.

They’ll still come after them. Just at a later time.
Looked like teenage thugs. They see Americans as targets of opportunity. In many countries.

They are lucky they weren’t Mau Maued; hopefully they’ve lost all illusions about Kenya.

Nice pics; the Interhamwe in Rwanda used that primitive combo (whistles and machetes) when they killed 800,000 in a matter of months.

The couple, who moved to Nairobi with their three children to open a CrossFit gym...See? Even Kenyans are sick of hearing people talk about CrossFit.
To: Constitution Day
Even Kenyans are sick of hearing people talk about CrossFit.I think it was all a cheap publicity stunt. They figured if they got hacked into little pieces they'd make the local news and their new business would get lots of attention.
