Ugly American aggressive with Alcalde Walker

[Keith Woolford]

During a demonstration today in front of the unfinished Policlínica in Alto Boquete an extranjero confronted the Mayor in an overly aggressive manner.

The report says he aimed his vehicle at the Mayor, another says he tried to pull a gun.

He was recorded saying Panamanians are excrement and Boquete sucks.

In any case, the Police carted his sorry ass away.

Horrible.  Exactly what provoked this man to do something like that?

[Keith Woolford]

Apparently traffic was being held up because of the demonstration.

[Brundageba]

Well the demonstration may not have gotten anybody's attention, but HE certainly did.  Ronald Acosta's Facebook post provoked a ton of very negative local responses regarding extranjeros here in Boquete.   I know it's good they vent their pent up feelings......    All of us need to learn a little patience I believe.   As far as this guy is concerned, I hope he gets what he deserves and more.

Perhaps not his best decision. Have to wonder what the heck outcome this guy was expecting. 

[Bud]

Can anyone identity this guy?

Just guessing....a free ticket back to his home country where I'm sure he never experienced a traffic jam.

It's trash like this that makes it bad for all of us. With this type of behavior, it is any wonder how the Panamians feel about us.

[Marcelyn]

What is the criteria for deportation?

[Keith Woolford]

Perhaps one of the U.S. Wardens can investigate the incident through the Police and assist in his removal if at all possible.

[Marcelyn]

Good idea, Keith.

[Brundageba]

One might assume that if you try to run another person over  with your vehicle ( or threaten to do so) that this would be an attack with a deadly weapon.  If THAT is not reason to deport a person what is?  Bottom line is he should be held behind bars.

Hank and I do not have the authority to investigate. See

Keith,    We all appreciate that we despise this man's behavior and wish that our local US Warden (CLV) reps could do something to help remove him....but that's not their job.  That said, let us hope that the force of Panamanian law is in the boot that kicks his a** out of Boquete and back to wherever he came from .

And why would ANYBODY be willing to take this role? ?

It was basically just a hopeful suggestion.

The expat community really needs a fully bilingual person who’s available and willing to do some reporting by attending public meetings and liaising with Officials and Police.

Oops, did I say that before?

Nope, not available nor sufficiently bilingual.

Ooooh, Bonnie. I think you just opened up that old can of worms about who is an American.

 As long as they are bilingual and are willing to put the time and energy into it, we don't care what country they come from.

[Pantah]

So how do we know this pendejo is from the US? Anyone?

You may not care, but the U.S. government does. An ACL must be a U.S. citizen.
