Zane Robertson arrested in Kenya - Sexual assault investigation leads to unlicensed AK47 arrest

…lifetime in prison for an alleged rapist in Kenya (probably even worse)

I really can’t think of anything worse.

Is "mzungu" an insulting or derogatory thing?

What a disgrace deport this illegal alien.

It's Swahili for 'white person' though recently, there have been some white people in Kenya who've started taking offence (never white Kenyans) and misguidedly trying to equate it to the 'N' word. Typically latte-sipping North American liberal arts college alumni types with a misplaced sense of victimhood. It's nothing but an innocuous descriptive word. Kenyans will describe someone by their ethnicity -Kalenjin, Kikuyu, Luhya, Mhindi (Indian), Mzungu (white) - as naturally as they'd use 'tall', 'thin', 'fat', 'dark' 'nice'.

Hard for Americans to appreciate, but owning any kind of gun in Kenya (let alone an unlicensed one) is a very big deal: it means you're 1. military or law enforcement 2. high profile VIP like a political figure 3. farmer-rancher type often in remote regions who has to protect their land and livestock from cattle-rustlers and other farm invaders 4. a criminal

Zane not being a good guy is widely known, and considering he got into some murky dealings with his Ethiopian ex-wife that led to him fearing for his life only serves to reinforce my suspicions. Why is he even in the country? Deport this fool.

You still don't get the joke. You never will. It is you.

Jake lives a very wholesome family life with his wife Magdalyne Masai (who won the Vienna Marathon this year) and their son. He's so different from Zane that I'd be surprised if they're still on speaking terms. I can't imagine the shame and embarrassment caused by his brother.

Very tragic episode for Zane. I thought he had gone back to NZ to do personal coaching a few months ago as I had seen an article regarding that.

As to the rape allegation, I suspect (but I may be wrong) that this was a consenting incident between 2 adults which took a downturn for the alleged victim.

In Kenya, money is everything, and set up jobs, involving foreigners, not uncommon.

I feel bad for Zane. He's always struck me as a rough type of kid who doesn't suffer fools gladly, but common criminal, he's not. I've seen previous posts by Zane on Insta where his aggressive side comes through, but he also has qualities, no doubt.

May he come through this incident (and he will) and learn that an irascible nature does not usually pay dividends.

You are under this perpetual self-delusion that I "don't get" kindergarten concepts.

I completely get the personal attacks -- it is an emotional rhetoric technique used when the attackers lack a genuine capability to substantiate and support their own views on their own merits. Mockery, name-calling, false attribution, false arrogance, changing the subject, etc. -- these are not strong tools of intellectual debate, but rather insecure desperate ways to cling to views you cannot support with substance when asked.

It's not too late for you to do some self-reflection instead of self-projection. Take a good look at your post and ask yourself why an aging near-septuagenarian feels the constant need to insult everyone who is not persuaded by baseless ideas which persuaded you when you were young and naive, yet cannot support intellectually many decades later.

Is that the person you really want to be? Is that how you wish to be remembered -- as an aging keyboard warrior/cyber-bully who clings so tightly to the past that he has lost all touch with the present?

Maybe these techniques would have worked when I was 8 years old, but today, I am secure enough in my views backed by data and my intellect and my person that your constant cyber abuse doesn't really bother me. It just makes me pity you.

Nothing wrong with ‘mzungu.’ Once kids or adults know my name they will call me that, but prior to they might point and say ‘mzungu.’ Same as when I’ve been in Asia and referred to ‘white guy.’ Languages are different.

I can think only that it would be disrespectful if they know your name but instead call you ‘mzungu’ although sometimes we will joke about it. I might saw ‘hey Kenyan pass me the salt and pepper’ and he or she might have it to me and jokingly say ‘here it is mzungu.’

Why Zane would take offense and slap a child over this shows what he is. A jerk.

And here is one who takes himself seriously beyond measure. A humourless bore.

Thank you for announcing your arrival.

And on what grounds do you suspect that, pray tell? Are you a witness? Do you personally know the victim? Or maybe, just maybe, you're once again romanticizing a runner that you know f*ck all about.

This is a gross, racist response. You suspect the victim may be lying because she is...Kenyan?? Black? Ghost1, you need professional help. Sad :(

There's a punchline to that attempt at a joke?

What are you actually thinking of as the "downturn"? Cause it seems the downturn was he tried to force anal sex on her. I have heard guys say this in a number of different ways to excuse rape. What is it that you're thinking of that went south for her but is not rape? You think it's not rape if she happened to change her mind at the last minute? Or you think something petty happened and she ran out of the house naked cause she wasn't satisfied in some way?

This is just plain wrong. The ones wanting to frame stuff like that as equal to racism is right wingers that are upset they can't act like a victim now and then.

Never look up to athletes and celebrities. Appreciate and respect their talents, but only admire or “look up to” people you know firsthand to be good people.

I think there are very few people you can actually admire in life.

be careful

His master plan is to serve out his drug ban in jail and get lots of anal.
