Is this a joke? You quoted from a white supremacy site as your source? LOL

Your link is to a White Supremacist, Racist Group. I could care less about someone’s race, creed or color just a person’s actions. You had better look into that group’s history. By the way, I’m a Conservative Constitutionalist so I’m no Liberal or Progressive. Your post will lose a lot of credibility with that kind of link.

Yes I have been to Managua many times. Read the above link. Google “Nicaragua safest country in Central America” see what you come up with.
Have you ever been to Managua? I think you’re confusing Managua with Manhattan.

As to your roller argument, I agree, but I was trying to maintain civility – actually, he tossed the bucket at the wall. I don’t know where you heard that Nicaragua was the safest Central American country, though. Everything I have read ranks CR first in safety.

I didn’t mean to imply that the killing was racially motivated. My comments re race had to do with the attitudes toward Nicas. It really doesn’t matter if this guy was rich even by Tico standards – the term is relative. To an average Nicaraguan, someone who owns a modest home here and has some money for food is rich. The fact that the money was not taken certainly indicates that robbery was not a motive. The fact that the wife was left as a witness (whether the killers used masks or not) and unharmed is very suspicious. Since the woman was his wife, she would get all of the man’s assets in Costa Rica and who knows what else. If the wife is behind this, there could be a number of motives beyond the CR assets – perhaps she wanted to live in the US and he didn’t want to take her there; perhaps he decided that the marriage was a mistake. First, we must wait to see if the OIJ charges anyone. Unless the family in the US does a lot of prodding, it will probably remain “unsolved.”

Too “Broad a brush?” He’s using a roller.
Why is it that Nicaragua is considered the safest country in Central America?

I don’t think it has anything to do with race, it has more to do with inheritance and/or a life insurance policy.
Several years ago and elderly Dutchman was setup by his young wife/girlfriend, but they were caught. Also, if this guy didn’t tell his family in the States about his marriage, it’s obvious his wife knows more about him than they do, he might be wealthier than his family thinks. The $1900.00 that was not taken may have been intentional,so as to throw off the police. There may be much more elsewhere.

I suspect that you’re painting with too broad a brush, but, regardless, making racist or ethnocentric generalizations is standing on dangerous ground. I’ve had Ticas, too, with less than optimal results (although I wasn’t robbed, I was thrown out of my house by one on a bogus order of protection). I have also had a good relationship with a woman originally from Colombia who worked her way up from having nothing to a doctorate degree and good position (without hooking), although it wasn’t in CR.

Some Ticos, including many of my friends, blame all the crime and other social ills here on Nicas and Colombians despite the fact that crime statistics show that Ticos commit much more crime. Of course, it could be that the Nicas and Colombians get away with more crime, but I doubt that many Ticos would give them credit with being smart enough to get away with more crime than Ticos.

As with most prejudices, it takes only one “bad apple” to confirm a pre-existing opinion, putting the stink on the entire barrel. That having been said, it is also possible that CR draws a disproportionate number of thieving Nicas and Hooking Colombianas – after all, the draw of a higher standard of living, a thriving gringo tourism industry, and legal prostitution probably look like a great opportunity from impoverished Nicaragua or civil war-torn Colombia.

Its not really racism, more “realism”. While theres alot of nice, normal nicas, the majority are bad people. Its just how they were raised, like Somalians. Same thing with Colombians, nearly every Colombian woman is a hooker and most men are criminals. Ticos, while overwhelmingly lazy and full of excuses, are generally good people. Next girl you pick, make it a Tica and you will be better off (or have a better chance of surviving).

I questioned this earlier when it was reported but unknown if this woman was the wife, but now that she is confirmed as his wife it looks even more suspicious. The spouse is always first suspect in a murder, especially in this case since she would be the heir to any of this man’s assets here in CR. In this case, nobody knew about the wife, a young Nica, who was there and inexplicably spared along with the wad of cash this man had on him. When I was involved with a Nica, all my friends warned me that I would end up like this man; so I’m sure that they will look closely at her – there is more racism here than most people acknowledge..
