Nudity, suspense, and closure. I feel like this would be a hit show on television.
SShhhhh.... we would have to pay for it somehow that way... don't give anyone any ideas! lol
Edzel Mejia - television would ruin this adventure.
BrokenRRT TV ruins everything
LooooL
Do not forget piracy lol😂🤣
He tried to steal your boat so you stole his boat 😂😂😂 classic
he didn't actually "stole" it
Hufex Chan yeah, but he did “steal” it.
@@nolanj loool
Michael Sawyer more like you “stole” the boat that he actually stole and returned it to its rightful owner
@@bg357wg relax cool guy.
Some definite smashing was going on before the robbery
Why?
@@Sssssssslf One was naked, though some people sleep naked...on a boat. Definitely a bad idea.
Finally somebody with the same mindset 😂
Or sleeping... obviously ur not very experienced lmao
I sleep naked always
Why is this the best piece of television I've seen in months
Leo V. Ferguson yasssssssss
This is one of the best crime drama show on CZcams.
I'm very impressed with the people of Madagascar. Justice was served and they did everything possible.
The guy at end singing was amazing though!!!
Yea!! awesome cover of Matt Simons: "Catch and Release" :)
That's from their first Madagascar trip, check out the video. It's one of their best, though there are a lot of those.
guy might have been from the madaganster bunch, the best band on Madagascar
madagangsta, isnt he?
Ohhh yeah now I remember !! That was ages ago... does anyone remember what number that vlog was?? Is that the name of the band ?
Who else is binge watching this in lock down? It's such a great escape for the mind. Totally fascinating and soothing. So glad you caught the guy. And hats off for the villagers rallying round to help you.
Respect to the locals for actually seeking the tourists justice. You can tell they actually care about both the kid and tourists so its a hard situation on them. I really hope the little bro turns his life around. Also thanks for the video was a scary but awsome adventure to share, subbed and cant wait for more
What country do you live in? Welcome to countrys like madagascar where you have rich people riding in half a million dollar boats while you try to scrung up a few dollars to feed your familys...
Woaaa it is still not good to steal someones things dude. You can feed your children in a descent way. This theft looks like not a father lol.
They want to help the tourists because if thieves scare away all the tourists the villagers will loose their money because tourism is where majority of their money comes from
@@rimacidih9350 So its rich people fault? wtf
@@reknero5443 no i never said that. What im saying is if you go to other countrys this kind of shit happens... Stealing is never ok under any circumstances but these people are bitching about the thief the police the goverment... U decided to take ur 500k boat to a third world country if u dont expect these problems u are delusional.
You should have yelled SHARK!! Then he would have came aboard
Where they are at no sharks
LVH04 Thought the exact same haha
Jajaja
rtoarc guy yeah, but maybe there are no sharks in THAT area. Idk man
LVH04 I’m in the water and you yell shark I’m dead because I just shit myself.
Finding way more gems on youtube thanks to quarantine.
True
BRO ONG

Ikr? Who would have thought that me out of all people is whatching people living at the freaking terrifying sea
Fr tho
I love how they explain that you shouldn't let one instance or one person ruin it for everyone and most people are kind, honest and with good morals. ♥
Wish we could say the same about Washington DC in 2021/22
@@cowboyup6438 And the forbearance of reptiles.
Scary experience...but is nice to see local people collaborating and helping like they did here.
Y’all need a spotlight to blind him!!
Delaney V 📠
Delaney V yeah aye I was thinking where’s all the defences??
Delaney V it’s so true tho
They have oneeee
@@ALDI-po6ss he meant blind with a spotlight not actually blind him!
Need to get a spot light so you can light up thieves and see what the F is going on
Jess A and also blind them a little since they tot used to the night
@@sophie-pp1ke it's not so much they can see, it will blind whoever is trying to climb aboard. You never turn the lights on in the boat or they will see where you are etc. But it would really help as well for them to see the perps
They prolly do, this was2 years ago
@@jessabbott7830 hey look at me i watched one video on boat safety now i know everything teehee!
they heard him taking the dingy so they turned on the lights, you always turn on the lights if you know nobody is trying to break in but instead are stealing your dingy
and sophie was right, they have been paddling in the dark for 30 minutes - 1 hour so their eyes are going to be adjusted to the dark, if you flip on some lights it will blind them
also this video is like 2 - 3 years old so you giving them tips wont help
@@kidthebilly7766 I've watched quite a few informative videos on boat safety but what do you know about my life, so you can gtfo, thanks
Greg and Cheyenne have this Aura of Courage that comes out of Pure Inspirational & Motivational Love to take on life.
You guys did huge Karmic good to have them on board as Crew!
lol. sharing the taxi with the dude who tried to steal ur outboard was hilarious.
This thief's attempt would hurt the local economy more than people realize. If sailors know there's crime in the area, they won't anchor/dock there anymore and the whole village will suffer from that lack of income. As much as I feel bad for those who live in poverty, the effect of letting people get away with stealing would hurt the community more.
Smart insight, thank you
I’m pretty sure this dudes village isn’t getting fat off cruisers coming to Madagascar.
maybe they don't want a bunch of foreigners in their lands
@@MRimREALLYkool like illegal Mexicans in the United States
@@heathcliffbars No, but believe it or not, tourism DOES bring a lot to their community.
bah ahh he wanted to look at the video of him being caught 😂😂
Ingrid Knutson I know I know. I was dead 💀. Homie got in the cab and looked like “aww 💩”
He’s like daaaamn. I’m famous 😂
As an Islander myself I am 1000% sure the villagers know who did it.
Aren’t you a medical professional as well
I'm 100,000,000% sure you commented before the end of the video.
@@whiplash3kilo756 That's like a lot of sureness
Yeah !! They knew who it was but don't want be seen as a grass or snitch so they don't want to tell !!
100%....@15:14 THEY KNEW WHO HE WAS, THEY SAY "LITTLE BROTHER"
@25:14 he automatically calls him LITTLE BRO....yea, they knew from the start who it was
Boat successfully defended....Mission accomplished.
No not really. The thief is still alive so this gonna happen again. Do this at my place and I mag dump.
That's the worst pirate I've ever seen
So it would seem...
Νίκος Μελιδονιώτης cue Pirates of the Caribbean music
That's gotta be the worst pirate i've ever seen.

Ah! But you HAVE heard of him. XD
why is nobody talking about the guy singing at the end, he's good
Tibo fr it’s calming
Tibo wow
@@mrkiwigamer3634 I know right
He is really good
The ending credits say it's a cover of a song and the guy playing the guitar and singing is named Madagangsta
Definitely need a decent spotlight on board for any night time abnormalities
Spotlight ruins your natural night vision and you will only see the boat and nothing else.
@@foty8679 small lamp you are right .. but go very big and wide and its real hard to escape .. btw i love the dark would not use light
I would install sensors and a mount real/fake turrets. Heck, if it was a group then it'll be really dangerous. Too far out it'll be pirates.
I have really been liking these sailing around the world shows. Living in Colorado I miss the ocean and this gives me my fix. You guys rock keep it up
Chris Ibsen i live in colorado
I live in Colorado
I live in CO
ayee i live in co
I live in Florida, get your shit together...jkjk, you got the good herb and I could sometimes use a mountain..
Damn that dude was a strong swimmer.
Adrenaline
I think this is the best episode yet and love Brady's narration. So glad he reminded us that Madagascar is like every place else. Miss HIM!
"Why do people do stuff like this?" because that outboard is quite possibly worth more than everything they own and that is the sad reality
It was you!!!!
pretty big assumption there.
Sounds like rationalizing stealing attempt... We are always going to live in the world with inequalities... Does not mean stealing is ok
@@Sangdeep12 It also doesn't mean acting like an outraged naif when starving people steal things should be acceptable either though. They know they're insured.
Lot of people blaming the victims on *both sides* here. It's called inequality for a reason.
@@ifragpsn6431 agree.. There has to be a balance..... Reporting a crime is mandatory though... Else the person commiting the crime might indulge in it repeatedly with dire consequences..this incident could easily have ended in violence..very unpredictable.... The punishment though need not be harsh.
honestly speechless THIS IS CONTENT!!!!!
Dylan Jean right
Was kinda waiting for someone to say“babe, throw me the cuffs!!”
The young guy at the end was sounding a little like Bruno Mars. He needs a record deal asap
G White, I think it was Bruce, the translator/marina guy
I hope you took care of Bruce for helping. Always break bread an take care of the ppl who help you. Mad props to everyone on this vid.
I was really enjoying the musician at the end
Thank you guys for showing us your entire journey and not just the pretty parts :)
That's what makes Delos great...
Our friends lived in the Caribbean. I stayed on their yacht for 4 weeks and in that time there were two attempts to take their rib and on other occasions parts from it and successfully. Their house was robbed in Granada and eventually due to a storm they needed some repairs done on the boat. When they returned to view progress it had been sold for scrap (in parts). They now live in the UK after spending 7 years in that part of the world. Very nice people and sad that the part of the world is lawless still.
They couldve cuffed him, with how they were dressed they probably had cuffs on already
💀💀
No no he's got a point
LOL
I desagree about the local people course they know who is the guy like one of them were sure about his stilling fame.
Videos like this are why I don't watch TV or movies often anymore.... This is way more interesting and amazing. Wow wow 10/10
it happens all over the world...well handled guys. ...thx.....also love the dude playing guitar at the end....big thumb up!!!
Wow, great episode! Sad to see that these things happen though... would love to see the whole song at the end :-). Happy sailing!
I agree, that guy playing the guitar and singing at the end was awesome.
jesus... what this dude try to do, crucified him...
not in Iceland :D

The community is so involved that’s wonderful!
Wow! There is so much in this episode that speaks volumes to the character of the Delos Crew. A scary, dangerous, frightening situation (home invasion) that they collectively managed to create an outcome that was eventually positive for them, the local community and future visitors and tourism. Fantastic effort, control and working within the local way of doing things. Just freakin awesome!
You need a deck dog to keep watch.
Ryan Albright or Bengal attack cat!
daaaaark
need a buck shot
Ryan Albright call someone first, then pay cops to kill him
Air horn and a spot light simple knowledge. Blast air horn multiple times while yelling and wake everyone on the other boats up and keep spot light on him.... He would have never gotten away
This episode is damn near like a television show
I don't know if that is a good thing. Do you also want dramatic rock music and made up conflicts?
It is a show, make no mistake about it. They really exaggerated things, way too much. This is their business and they live off Patreon. Also, do not forget that they think they are celebrities.
The temptation to drop something heavy on his head when he went back and forth under the boat must have been strong. Kudos for taking a higher road.
Those are some cool locals. They said he’s always causing trouble in that area
@@jailorsaab or they just play along until the tourists go away and they send the kid to steal from another tourist. If they know he's always causing troubles they might be in on it. You never know.
@@Pir-o probably not, towns like that rely on the money tourist bring in and really do not want petty crime stopping business.
david simpson true
Piro Man No.. They want the tourism.
@@Pir-o man you are stupid
25:07 that guy was amazing, can see the marks on the face of that guy from the video! Everyone was so helpful wanting to make things right, awesome!
i love how they (bruce et al) gave a trust to the locals to clear the things up and sum all the things to the peacefull naration
"Ryan came out with his machete screaming like a crazy person." 😂
He's not just stealing from boaters, that is bad enough. The real tragedy is that other people won't come back to places where this happens regularly. That thief is stealing potential prosperity from a community.
Then why doesn't "the community" put an end to this, instead of just pleading poverty as an excuse - as they do all over the wold.
@@ushoys They are trying
@@ushoys ahshahaha.. U guys stop fking shooting ur children to bits in their schools and they will stop thieving.. Oh wait, won't happen cuz americans love schoolshootings and always use freedom as an excuse x)
I'll leave it to you to deduct which community is worse ;)
Actually violent crime and murder are at an all time low in America you fucking moron! Stop listening to the media and get facts.
The real tragedy here is you blame one half-naked poor dude paddling a canoe in the ocean begging not to be killed for "stealing prosperity" from a community and fail to mention where all the wealth really is.
This video was super interesting and exiting. Glad you all are safe. Thank you for sharing your journey and adventures with us. You have instilled the dream to sail the world in me, and I thank you for that too. Fair winds!!
I'm glad there are such good people on the island willing to help out, love it.
Wow - I really liked the voice & song of the guy singing. Incredible voice.
Bruce is awesome. He had a lot of translating to de and he seems very intelligent
WOW! As much as I love love love an episode with sailing, hiking and such, this was so cool how you made it happen. And kudos to whoever translated the French to English so we could read the captions on the screen. That really made the video! Glad everyone is safe and you caught the bad guy. Hopefully the two months in the pokey will help him understand this is not OK. There has to be other ways to support his family. I will pray for him! PEACE OUT
Yes there are other ways to support his family. If only someone would tell him about Patreon!
Yes the translation is great ... but wasn't french, probably a local dialect :)
It is Malagasy language
1. It wasn't French. 2. Praying does fuck all for the billions of poor people in the world.
Aloha Delos crew. The truth is you will encounter this every now and again wherever the wealth disparity is so huge. When sailing throughout the Pacific we lost more than a few masks, the dinghy would have been gone if we hadn't hoisted it up the way you did (but we took it up so her gunnels were level with the top of the life lines) and one night someone came aboard. All of these instances were dealt with by the Chief and we always (anonymously) got our stuff back. You are a Billionaire to them.
Totally impressed by the Police efforts and community bond. Great episode!

Man this story has got crime, drama, and nudity! The three categories all my favorite entertainments must include.
I love you guys. Even though the guy was trying to steal from you, you all still treated him with kindness and compassion. It’s often times hard to understand what it’s like to barely get by especially with a young family like that man had.
Safe travels Delos 😁
Wow, I'm so glad you guys are all alight. What a horrific experience. I remember the other time when you got boarded in the middle of the night and they made off with your VHF. This sends chills down my spine, I can only imagine how shaken you must me still. Be safe out there! Patreon goal of buying an automatic sentry turret for the mast?
nice to see villagers like that, they are so helpful, they cooperate...
I love that the episode ends with a guy singing. Much needed. What a thrill that was!
This was extremely interesting! I loved it so much!
Long video by MY standards but I was happy to watch the whole thing! Great storytelling (and animation), timeline was very clear and all parts of the situation/story connected and made sense. And it was a good story! The subtitles OH the subtitles helped so much! Thanks for a well made video
Safe travels!
Them:Just got woke up at 3am
Reality: we just got interrupted in the middle of “sleeping” as the girl gets up fully naked🤣
They live on a boat with no air conditioning, sitting in the middle of Madagascar which is hot as hell all year round, so yah they most likely sleep naked lol.

I saw this a while back.... just rewatched it again. What a great video the second time around. No production team can do what you guys pulled off. The community, land and sea, worked....good good!
Love sailing, bumped this journey for the first time....most 'facinsting'sailing video I watched.....more twists than a alfredo Hitchcock film!!!...greT job following it through!!
Well done guys many would've taken it too far. Thanks for the dreams you inspire. I've just brought my first sailboat and maybe bump into you somewhere in the world one day.
So this is my third time watching one of y'all's videos and I can't help but just fall in love with the characters and so far your adventures.
For some reason I thought this was a video in discovery channel. Lol
It does look like it. If it had that weird snake rattle noise of suspense it would pass LOL
Things happen and justice was served. He should consider himself lucky because many other captains are not as merciful as the Delos crew. Any other boat and he could have ended up with a cracked skull or broken bones, or even death. A lot of boats carry serious arms.
In Nosy Bé/Mada you need an electric fence around the whole boat! Also a pump gun and a 45.
I stayed there for several month, it's nice, but really dangerous, even for us french people...
Thanks for sharing it was kind of fun to watch! It was exciting action. But glad you guy's are good. 👍
look forward to watching this, we had 3 experiences with theft in 9 years. The first in the middle of a cyclone and we were in the boat!!! The second our 'tender' taken for a joy ride and was just about to head out again when we arrived back after a hospital 'emergency' at 3am. The 3rd our 'tender' again but luckily another boatie saw what happened and returned....the adventures of life...
Of course everybody knew him!
This video gives me a completly different feeling than all the others from Delos. It's a scary feeling when you are attacked in this way but I totaly agree with Braydy's statemant at the end and I'm thinkng "what would I have done if my children were screaming of hunger?" I don't know. This episode has really touched me.

haha buried deep in the comments, this gem! Thought I recognized greyworm too =)
The couple who came on as crew were awesome. It was refreshing to see a crew that did not dive with you all. I don't know that I would be able to dive either. I know there are things in the ocean that can eat me... it is funny to me that I know millions of people dive and very few get attacked by something in the ocean but my mind has a heck of a time over coming that fear. I wish the departing crew members all the best in the world. It is pretty amazing to me how you folks pick new crew out and they mesh so well. continued success is my hope for us all.
"looks like a wanted poster, doesn't it?" it literally is.. HAHAHA
I’m so glad you added the dialogue 27:00
‘Our plan was to scare him, scare the sh** out of him actually’ 😂😂😂
I really appreciate this video. You guys did a good job of painting Madagascar in a very good light despite a traumatizing event. I'm sorry you all had to go through that, but very well done.
aww the locals were so kind to help y'all catch him
Good lynching every now and then breaks the boredom.
Robbery is the wrong term. Burglary is what that crime is called.
People suggesting using deadly force are mistaken, you would likely go to prison for using deadly force for a property crime.
In hind sight just keep tiring him out till he has no choice but beg to be rescued. Although you might not want to bring him into the boat, because he could be a physical danger to you.
@Nick Naples Yeah I'm sry but your wrong. Robbery and Bulgary are not the same thing, they may have the same purpose to steal, but both are very different from each other, A Burglar dont want to be seen or even fight they usually dont carry a Weapon and go for stealth and patience, but a Robber dont really care for stealth quite the opposite, they wanna do it fast, they point a Gun or Knife at you until he has what he came for... but your right about one thing, a Tea Party isnt smart.
@JB GTO robbery is defined by the level of intimidation and pysical force used. The boat is your home / house and at sea life can be cut short very quick. You can take a life to preserve life but you have to go through the bullshit after with police. From experience in my life I have been broken into while at home beat the crap out of the guy with a rounders bat. As soon as the police knew for sure that he had entered My home without permission I was free to go. Beat the shit out of them to the point they cannot move or escape and call authorities. It can get sketchy in other country's but in the uk and international waters you can use deadly force if your home is invaded
Actually it's called piracy any crime committed on a boat is piracy
politicalGRAFFITI it’s not America
The best term for this was piracy. Many think it is mainly referred to as Somalian pirates or other forms of modern day pirates. But really piracy is any form of crime at sea
“Stay strapped or get clapped” - George Washington
Might not be the best idea. Not every country has the same laws and it could be a massive mine field of dealing with local authorities. Not an issue on the open sea, but when you are within another country's international border, all bets are off.
@@k33elly if your boat is registered in the USA the gun laws on the boat are the same as the state it's registered in. You just have to declare it in port and can't bring it to the mainland.
DENİZ DORA KARAKAŞ You’re on a boat dipshit. Cap ass then get gone. The authorities of a shithole country wanna come and cause problems? Just wait till you’re out in the water a ways and cap them too. High percent chance their drug addicts anyhow
@@chrisangel9899 I know you're named after an edgy magician, but you should realize that taking a human life isn't so trivial.
Alec Steal my shit and get clapped. I’m not from fragile fabric, shit stick. There’s countries that would’ve cut his hands off. You should realize that people are pussies nowadays. Go back just a click in human history and it was very common to get gunned down just for disrespecting someone. Jumped in a back alley just for showing your face where you shouldn’t have. Humans have been killing humans over literally anything and everything for all of our history. Women, territory, resources, dominance over another, etc. Not to mention when you have a full blown reason such as STEALING, assaulting, drugging, etc. I would’ve capped his ass and watched him either sink or float on and add a mark on the boat for him. It’s cool if you wouldn’t, but he knew what he was doing. He knew what could’ve happened and disregarded all of it.
I am not even going to go into it Mrs.Delos. but extreme poverty Plus mental health and addiction plays a huge role. Not to mention the people that will have to provide for the family and extended family they have. The ones who turn to a life of crime are going to steal outboard motors and anything they have been watching for or can get their hands on. You just sound. I mean come on. when you you say “Why would they do this in such a Beautiful place” Well our countries are such a beautiful place because it will prosecute these people. I love all of your content❤️
It's amazing they were able to catch him, trying to catch a thief here in the states is damn near impossible because the police don't care.
AJ Sap ...and all of them "dint do nuffin". You can have them on video and they'll say that over and over again.
And who could blame the cops. They get trial by truncated video every time, and always painted in dark colors.

Good lord! One half of these comments want this guy fed to the sharks, the other half want to give him a medal. WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?! Can't anyone have a balanced, well thought-out opinion anymore?
That guy is a thief, that is madagascar (a country with laws), all those guys in the video own stuff and want to keep it (like any sensible person in the world), where is the controversy?
Seriously, I don't get it.
Echo Plots I want to give the shark a medal, lol
Well, i can tell you as a sailboat owner and sailor. What would a captain under maritime law do to defend his ship and passengers. I, as a captain would not hesitate to dispense justice. Especially if the interloper was armed. He clearly was as he used a knife to cut the halyard. Remember, he could have just as easily slipped aboard and cut everyone’s throat with his knife. I would say that upon reflection he may do this next time as it would have a better result.
@@RideAdventurous That's what I'm saying. There is nothing inherently wrong with punishing someone who has committed a crime.
Some people seem to project their own funny ideology onto this situation and pretend like these people somehow deserve to be robbed because they're rich and white. Then others encourage inhumane punishment methods that are certainly not in any madagascan law book.
These things happen, I really see no ground to argue about it.
Hello New Subscriber from San Diego / Baja, Mexico...Former Law Enforcement Officer, Day Sailor and fisherman...Love the Episode on the Pirate attack...Very Good information and I would also Strongly Advise against carrying Firearms... Unless you can do so Legally in every Jurisdiction, which is highly unlikely and more likely to land you in Big Trouble with the Local Law...and Unless you are Trained and Prepared to use them... the majority of time your own weapon will be taken away and used against yourself...Obviously the best Defense against Would be Pirates is to Be Prepared and have a Plan...try to prevent them from getting on the boat in the first place...with Alarms, Sirens, bright Spot Lights, a loud PA system telling them to ''stay away the authorities have been notified''... ''you are being Recorded and Broadcasted on the Internet''...Have your own Display of Force such as Flairs, Fireworks and other Alternative Weapons ready to use that may be on board the boat including but not limited to; Flare guns, Spear guns, Hawaiian sling, shark bang sticks, fishing knives, sledge hammer...Tools such as a propane torch or Flame Thrower, nail gun (not that a cruising boat would normally carry a nail gun but if you had one charged and ready for Defensive Purposes, maybe you could convince Port Authorities that it was for work purposes and they would not confiscate it), same with a chainsaw, compressed air Tank with some kind of Projectile ready to fire...and in an Extreme Life or Death Emergency situation a Gasoline Bomb...(Molotov cocktail) is a breakable glass bottle containing a flammable substance such as gasoline/petrol or a napalm-like mixture, with some motor oil added, and usually a source of ignition such as a burning cloth wick held in place by the bottle's stopper. The wick is usually soaked in alcohol or kerosene, rather than gasoline. In action, the wick is lit and the bottle hurled at a target such as the Pirate's boat. When the bottle smashes on impact, the ensuing cloud of petrol droplets and vapour ignites, causing an immediate fireball followed by a raging fire as the remainder of the fuel is consumed. A poor man's grenade if you will could be assembled from household products...MacGyver style...Good Luck, (Disclaimer as I would not Recommend this or any kind of physical resistance against armed Pirates)..Almost forgot my High Tech Security Deterrent. The Drone !!! Fly a drone over the potential Pirates recording their every movement and their Faces with the Idea that they are Identified and the Whole World is Watching Them...again Be Prepared and Mentally Tough to do whatever it takes to Survive...Good Luck
Great job, very Informative and Entertaining watching your Channel....Cheers & Beers

It's really crazy that people are defending the thief just because he lives in poverty. Just because you live in poverty doesn't give you the right to steal, nor does it make it right. There is a right and a wrong in this world. Do I think they could have given him a break? That's tricky... in these situations you want the person to learn their lesson. You guys aren't realizing that the boat is essentially their house. Theft is tricky and one of the most serious crimes you can commit, that could of just as easily gone wrong if he had a weapon. Just food for thought.
only westerners have the luxury of debating this, people of the thief's equal caliber understand the severity of theft, and they usually duke out mob justice to get the shitbag. Theft to them is one of the worst things you can do. Plus, this runs the risk of scaring off the wealthy transient foreigners who support the honest workers in the area through legit jobs...it's in everyone's best interests for this theft to be punished
It’s only crazy for people never experienced poverty, never lived in a dog eat dog world. When I was younger, my family lived in an area where police don’t give a shit and the place was basically ran by local gang. U think people think about right and wrong when they’re hungry? U think there’s a little voice in them that’s telling them no when u can barely afford anything and this shinyass boat came in with white people all smiling and happy. I’m not condoning robbery. I’m just saying it’s not unthinkable. And insisting and spending the whole day trying to find him ain’t gonna solve anything. The guys still gonna steal if he sees an opportunity. They are just doing this for their personal satisfaction and revenge. Which I found to be pretty petty
@@vulpeslagopus1 Nobody likes a thief.
I don't live in poverty, but if I did I would do everything to help my family out. However if this guy went on my boat I would have chopped him up with that machete.
@@vulpeslagopus1 .He didnt look hungry to me. very well fed I have lived in poor villages and they dont steal or accept it .It is an excuse of SJW that it is OK for the poor to steal.Bullshit.
That man helping them translate is super cute! I'm glad you were able to find so much help, I am sorry that happened to you all.
