Running all the anti-Dominican Bigots off the island. I go there to get away from people like you.
In the Middle East(some places) the punishment for stealing is the cutting of the thief's
right hand, but at least you're alive. In the DR they blow your frigging brains out.:dead:
A whole bunch of George Z's in DR!!!!!!!!!!
Did we not cover this is an accident, but then again, we never know here. It is very brutal, for a lawless country the law can be very harsh.
I hear you! But foreigners need not worry, it's Dominicans who need to fear
from the police.
lots of gringos are worried about police extortion. which is still, undoubtedly, better that a bullet to the head.
I've seen people pull out firearms over a couple of drunks starting an argument in the street, more than once.Police have batons as well as taser and gun in the us, this wouldn't happen as an accident there. The PN have no restraint training, no negotiating skills. They as stupid as they get here in the most authoritive positions, a law unto themselves. I just can't get my head around why an officer would draw his weapon in a pasty thief.
Exactly, you're not living amongst it. You are telling me that Dominicans are not responsible for themselves now? I suppose that is the expats fault is it?
Us who come and invest, work and try to get along among all the murder, burglaries, corruption and less than adequate services. Are dominican not responsible for this? Then who the f--k is?
Nowhere is perfect and everywhere has the crime we have here, but I don't care about elsewhere, I care about here, where I live.
And so you come here to be around Do inicans who are not in the slightest bit racist, is that correct? Lol, give me a break!
Did you seriously just write this. The only problem with the Dominican Republic is that it's full of Dominicans?
That was the Apex of ignorance, even for DR1.
You know what would make the Dominican Republic a "better place to live and go about business and enjoying life"?

i am missing something here. if the place is so brutish, why are you here, dealing with the misery?
last i checked, they did not move into your neighborhood.
The sad portion of all, is that it was written by someone with a nick of "smart;" talk about an oxymoron.
I have obligations and responsibilities that outweigh the BS. It's not fantasy island for everyone here, or I dunno, maybe it is if people aren't getting out more. Quite possibly that is the solution, live in a bubble, but for some of us we have to interact, work and socialize with people we can't stand.
I find it odd that people refuse to blame the people for the state of things here.
Everyone complains about the trash on the streets while they continue to throw it out there.
People complain about the sad situation with electricity, while continuing to hack into it.
The same people who are employing illegals are the same people who bitch about them not leaving.
The government fighting a war on drugs that they themselves promote.
Poverty, while are the same people with no education and trying to get pregnant annually from the age of 14-15.
Etc etc etc.
If the people aren't responsible then who is?
