Kidnap Tourism
« on: April 27, 2019, 08:52:40 AM »
It might be a Fox News slant, but this woman sounds like she's practically advertising, "Go to Uganda and get kidnapped! It's a wonderful experience!"

Quote
“They could have sold me to a different group. When I went out in the open they had guns that also protected me. It could have been so much worse than it was,” Kimberley Endicott told CBS on Thursday.

A liberal twofer. The disconnect between "protecting her" and protecting their investment, and oh yeah, guns are good sometimes. I guarantee this woman would vote for a national gun ban.

She said at one point while they were walking she looked up the most beautiful sky she’d ever seen. “That was when I became very aware of humanizing myself to them ... I said, 'Look at the sky.' I said, 'We don't have this at home.'" She told CBS it became a kind of “relationship,” and after they built her a tent she wondered for the first time, 'Why are they taking such good care of me?'"

They don't have a sky in California?
Let me guess, because Trump?

Her next stop, sunny North Korea!

She feels guilty because this this puts a "taint" on Uganda.
Oh, and you have dry skin.

Watch the interview, I really don't think it's a case of Stockholm Syndrome. I could be wrong though.

I think you're correct. It's not Stockholm Syndrome. She's just an idiot.
