Keith Woolford Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 (edited) 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. Edited July 23, 2018 by Keith Woolford 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brundageba Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Horrible. Exactly what provoked this man to do something like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Woolford Posted July 23, 2018 Author Share Posted July 23, 2018 Apparently traffic was being held up because of the demonstration. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brundageba Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwoSailors Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Woolford Posted July 23, 2018 Author Share Posted July 23, 2018 Perhaps one of the U.S. Wardens can investigate the incident through the Police and assist in his removal if at all possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brundageba Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brundageba Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 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 .

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.
