Attempt of a coup in the Congo

Failed dismally, but was launched from America, geographically. And I’d like to know where the money for the 50 to 100k that was offered to the young Daniel came from with specificity.

Daniel Gonzalez, a former teammate of the two Utah residents caught up in the foiled coup, told The Associated Press that Marcel had offered him $50,000 to $100,000 to spend four months in Congo as a security guard for his politician father. The 22-year-old FedEx worker strongly considered it, but said it lacked concrete details. He ultimately declined so he could spend the summer with his girlfriend.

“I feel really sad for Tyler and Marcel but, at the end of the day, I can just be grateful that I didn’t go because I would be stuck in the same scary situation,” Gonzalez said.

Good on you Daniel, for refusing the ticket.

And note that once again, violence is the answer.
