Utah couple narrowly escape gang of machete-wielding bandits in Kenya

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.

The poor black Kenyan victims obviously saw the white privilege that this couple possessed and had no choice but to chase them with guns and machetes in response. Probably some institutional racism somewhere within Kenyan society that helped “trigger” these fine young men as well.

The Kenyan government should probably hire some diversity coordinators to explain it to them. Or I could save them some money by explaining, “Happy friendly white people show up -> primitive black thugs attack them -> white people’s fault.”

I have been to Africa. I took 2 rifles. They wouldn’t let me have three.

What caliber(s) did you bring? When I go, I'll bring a 30-06 and my trusty 458 Lott (for buffalo)

Of course, if you view these third worlders as the animals they are, then it truly IS the white couple’s fault, same as if they had climbed into the tiger cage at the zoo.

probably should have. Now Obama’s sons know their car, what they look like, their family size, and, that they are opening a gym - translated: they have money. It was vain pride that took them to Kenya, and the same vain pride that drove them to publicize the confrontation. The only course of action remaining for them is to get out of Dodge before Dodge gets them.

I always think of Kenya as a place to open a new business.

Looked like Obama’s true sons to me.

Maybe a Safari or drug smuggling or doctors w/o borders gig, but crossfit?

“He had to “reverse backwards”, the professional “journalist” wrote.”

Actually, this phrasing is to honor the Kenyan “World Backward Driving Rally Champion”!
