A Devastating Hate Crime in Kansas
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- On February 22, 2017, Adam Purinton, a United States Navy veteran, walked into Austin’s Bar in Olathe, Kansas and singled out two South Indian men, Srinivas Kuchibhotla and Alok Madasani, who were there enjoying happy hour. “He approached them, asking, ‘Are you here illegally?’” recounts Sunayana Dumala, Kuchibhotla’s wife, in the short film "Do We Belong?" “Srinivas being Srinivas, he was polite. He tried to answer, ‘I am here on a work visa.’ But [Purinton] thought that Srinivas was from Iran and he was here illegally. I think that’s why he said, ‘Get out of my country,’ before he shot Srinivas down.” Kuchibhotla was killed that day. Read more: www.theatlanti...

You know in my career I've met Indian and Iranian folks. Good people all around. What that shooter did was despicable.
yeah man brown people are some of hte nicest i've met
serious question: why do you wake up, go on the internet and troll throughout the day? why aren't you taking care of yourself, enjoying your life? getting a girlfriend?
LOL I am not trolling... I am probably right btw there are a lot of scammers from Hyderabad who come to the usa to scam innocent americans...
if you're not trolling than i feel even sorrier for you...sigh

He worked with the Government Aviation department. It's literally mentioned in the video. You're just a pathetic troll.
Shooter is so ignorant, he didn’t even know he was Indian - and they wonder how foreigners are taking their jobs
Guy Austin He knew that he was not like him and that was enough for him to turn to murder. Humans can be the best, and they can be the worst. This is one of the "worst" cases. Shame on him and the culture of hate that he represents.
Guy Austin “Ignorant”?! You’re being far too kind.
He had brown skin. That was enough. And funny how he complained about foreigners taking their jobs while he doesn't even have a speck of the skill required to do any of those jobs.
Imho the gun slinger was a White Man of Good Character
Very sad
This scares me. My mum and dad are both Indian, and were immigrants when they came to the US to settle down. They came in 2003. If they had a strong Indian accents or lived in the wrong place... They might have been killed as well. And that scares me. A lot.
@growing ginger I’ll be thankful when you’re 6 feet under
@@Jaylio I hope not all white americans are racists
This woman sounds like a wonderful, caring person. I hope she gets many blessings, a better future, and someone she loves, to have a good life again. Hatred is not the answer. Racism or hate based on language accent or religion or such things is not right. There are good and bad people everywhere. I have known several Indian folks, and nearly all were fine people, open and friendly if given a chance. Sure, a few are not, but that's true anywhere. It saddens me that good people suffered a loss like this, just because an ignorant racist chose hate over decent sense. Our country must not let racial or other prejudice spread. It's wrong, it's a poison, and it only brings sorrow to decent people for no good reason.
I have had to explain to a neighbor from India the nature of Racism in the American Northwest.
It took him a few months to realize that many people will pretend to treat you equally, but quietly hate you.
But it took him less time to see how a Latino hating Wealthy Racist, blatantly hates on me, leaving garbage on my welcome mat, and other very juvenile behavior, for being mixed European / First Nations...
I have a couple Sri Lankan friends, and I love them. Big hearts
She can be a wonderful, caring person somewhere else.
You are so very right! May God bless his wife and help her through this painful time in het life.
@@westernessence7644 You can be a racist somewhere else, you don't belong in America!
This had me in tears. What a courageous woman, and what a beautiful and tremendous response.
The music did it, right? That sad music playing in the background while this soft spoken woman spoke was designed to make the listener feel just exactly what you are feeling; in tears. Go Trump; shut the doors on all immigration and work permits!
Mum ility1, what a sick thing to post. You should ask yourself "what have I become ???"
Your dear Führer Trump is a Sociopath, and the family in the article were legal, hardworking immigrants...
@@humility1319 when did your family first move to America?
Let's see; a distant relative put together a family tree and according to that family tree, my family came to this country before the War Between the States. I haven't looked at it in years but if my memory serves me right, our family came from Europe. We arrived on the East coast and dirt poor. However sprinkled here and there were an occasional slave owner but not very successful. From the Virginia's and Carolina's, we migrated south and westerly. Have I given you enough ammunition to attack me now? By all means, go for it.
Oh come on David; get a grip on your emotions and think with your brain. Try this if it helps; pretend you are planning to leave your home country, all those you have ever known, uproot your immediate family and face up to the fact that you might not ever see your parents again or your siblings. But hey, your plans might include bringing every Tom, Dick, Harriet and distant relative to America once you get a foothold here. Now ask yourself what motivates a person to go to such extremes. Was it fear? Was it religious freedom? Are you a criminal escaping justice in your own country? What would cause you to do this? Every immigrant has a different reason and some are genuinely worthy reasons. Maybe your wife or child has serious medical issues and America can save them somehow. India has some of the best medical facilities in the world. If you have the means to pay to get to America, you probably have the means to pay for medical care in India. All my neighbors are legal, hard working immigrants too. We're all immigrants or descendants of immigrants. This woman and her husband weren't peasants escaping a life of toil and hardship. Since I asked the questions, I'll answer them according to my viewpoint. I have met my fair share of Indians in my professional life and from what I've learned, most come to this country for one thing. Greed. They want money. They want to keep their way of life but they want America's freedoms. They don't want our food. They don't want our religion. They don't want to assimilate and wear American style clothes. They want to teach their children their first language at the same time they want them to learn English. Most learn English in Indian schools. Immigrants don't care what Americans think; they come anyway. They know the risks and still they come. For every job an immigrant takes, an American somewhere lost out. I paid a tremendous price for my education, sacrificed and went without so I could compete professionally for a better way of life. I was successful compensating for my poor beginnings and lack of financial support. It's bad enough I had to compete against the "haves" in my own country. Why should I have to compete with the "haves" from another country like India and other places? Employers make allowances for those who don't speak the native language very well. Indians are dark skinned and they get advantages because of affirmative action programs. I read a story online where an Indian got into medical school simply because he said he was black. I don't like violence and killing. I just don't care if life takes a dark turn for immigrants who shouldn't be in our country in the first place. Now, let me have it commenters!
Like his president, the shooter dehumanized his victims and feels no regret.
Dehumanizing people you select as enemies is as old as humanity itself. It was cultivated by the worst regimes ever documented and is one of fascism's most significant trademarks.
Unless we choose to learn from history and to become better humans, it will happen again and again.
It's very very sad
Sadly with the way things are heading we are going to be repeating history. Only way to stop it is a revolution!
When did the president shoot someone??
Jenny
If you don't know what he did wrong, you don't want to know and there's no sense talking to you.
Nickhead87 , she's disengaging because Jenny was changing the goalposts thus showing that she either doesnt have the information to bring to debate or the desire to actually debate, just change the topic. The president has dehumanized people or color (particularly latinx immigrant and people of middle eastern descent who practice islam), just as the shooter (illinformed as he was) did to his victim.
This woman loved her husband! I am so sorry for your loss.
The tone comes from the top. Until the American president stops calling people animals (if they are brown) we will see more of this. We are only as strong as our weakest link. The shooter saw brown; and, with the blessing of his president, decided to carry out the wishes of his president.
That said, this was a very inspirational piece. It gave me hope that there are still people who haven't been swallowed up in the frenzy of hate and despair. These are the people that will bring us back from this nightmare of hate once it is all over.
_"Until the American president stops calling people animals (if they are brown) ..."_
He calls Mexican illegal immigrants with criminal tendencies "animals". That has always been the context of such statements; same with _"They're not sending their best"_ .
I did editorialize a little, ascribed words he didn't say; but, I think I got the essence.
Law enforcement and government in Mexico, Central, and South America have a big problem: corruption. It isn't uncommon to have a drug dealer as a politician, it isn't uncommon for drug dealers to sit on board of directors of major corporations or be big shareholders. Money is funneled easily to a beat cop whose life is in danger by going into the 'hood to do his job and get paid shit, to the president. Nobody cares if gang violence escalates into a literal civil war, which is what happened in El Salvador for example. They don't care if the gangs run drugs or go over the border. They don't care if they are sent back, because it got to the point where gangbangers regardless of status (meaning if you are still active- and there are those running from their own clique because if you leave you die) now law enforcement will target them for murder. This creates more instability in the country, and what do you get? More migration. So what to do? Target corruption by saying we won't trade with you or put on sanctions? It doesn't work in the long run, if one country produces something another country needs/wants they honestly don't care about the state of the society. The wrong people are being put in government, what will it take for the right people to be put in?
knavishknight Since they are undocumented, how can anybody claim correctly they are committing crime at a lower or higher rate? You would have to know they are undocumented first, in which case, they are now documented to be cited as a source for a study. Also in the state of CA local law enforcement is not allowed to aide ICE, and cannot arrest illegal immigrants or report them to Federal agencies should they commit a crime. This means local law enforcement will not file reports if the crimes were commited by illegals. This means your source will have incorrect information stating crime rates perpetrated by illegals, giving lower numbers. What I am saying is your source is flawed.
Also Trump called MS-13 animals not all immigrants. Also if immigrants are undocumented, how do you know if they are good or bad. You are going to get a mix of both and sense bad people don't want to be documented they are not going to go through the proper channels. In a way, Trump is corrupt.
Mexico is a very corrupt nation with Politicians bribed by the Cartels. If things get to bad their and if the people couldn't leave, there would be a revolution. This has happened before in Mexico several times. However with an open border just north, the Mexican government can open the nozzle and alliviate the pressure that would otherwise lead to an overthrow. In the end nothing changes and nothing gets better for Mexico, it's former citizens, the US who now pays for the refugees, its citizens, or those who entered legally. Everybody suffers and nobody wins except the drug Cartels and corrupt Politicians who will use the sympathies of the relocated to stay in power all while not fixing the problems they were elected to fix.
I meant Trump is correct not corrupt. Auto correct.
The way this woman loves her husband and then wrong that has been done is heartbreaking
Nearly lost it when she looked up, saying "he's everything" with a smile.
Rest in Peace. God Bless from Texas
Seems the root problem here is Education.
The shooter was not intelligent enough to distinguish between a terrorist, and a guy at a bar.. Also somehow thought that it's ok to go around killing people that you think might be bad. No wonder we have to import brains from India! India produces an astonishing number of engineers, and IT techs. The education system is incredibly good, and we should take a lesson from them. The personal story is sad, and a good example why we cannot ignore the issues at hand. Pretty much everyone in US is an immigrant, or the descendants of Immigrants. So What?
He is a United states Navy Veteran. Education huh?
There is a difference between learning and eduction. He was taught to obey and to kill. He did not have anybody telling him what to do, so there was only one thing left in his brain. He learned to be violent, but was not educated to distinguish.
So many smart people from India! My respects!
The problem is propaganda
FPVREVIEWS You are comparing the highest population in the world (China and India regularly exchange titles) for how many engineers they have? Would you like to compare the number of engineers in Alaska to Canada next? And India is filthy. People literally defecate in the streets.
Lol, you've never been to India have you? Most of it is a shit hole, and their education system isn't that good. The Indians you see here are the elites, the vast majority of them are dirt poor, not American poor, 3rd world poor.
I'm sorry for your loss. You'll always be welcome to be my neighbor in Kansas. Don't let the hateful few tell you otherwise.
Wake up America; do not let the haters destroy our rich legacy. Take a stand; resist this irrational hatred whenever and wherever it raises its ugly head.
Unfortunately, ignorance breeds Deplorables. And there are far too many of them in America.
This is America
Guns in my area.
There are crazy, hateful people everywhere. India ranks as most bigoted nation on Earth. Your false narrative is a joke.
playgrrrr: Correction.....this is White America. No other race goes around killing others based on race.
kxr
America is not a continent.
Bernard Gilbert you shouldn't be wishing death on anyone. just because someone made an insensitive remark does not mean they should die or get shot
Racism kills
@1ICHIR0: No people kill other people just for the color of their skin.
That's called a hate crime, which is the result of racism.
A CHOSEN VESSEL yeah.... that's called racism buddy
Diversity + proximity =conflict
TheIronMan987 ungah unghuh! Ungha unghha bungah!🎻 🎻 🎻
What a completely senseless murder. Despite the killer being a "drunken mess" whose life had apparently fallen apart since his father's death two years prior, it's hard not to ascribe at least some of the blame here to the current climate of irrational hysteria about immigrants that has been brought about in no small measure by the highly xenophobic rhetoric and relentless fear mongering of the deeply cynical Trump regime.
It's a big ol' swampy soup right now out there... the atmosphere is toxic, shit like this is just going to happen more and more until reasonable people stand up and say enough (at the ballot boxes, primarily).
Martin, the irrational hysteria appears to exist on both sides. One important role of being conservative is to watch out for dangerous progressiveness. It's a balancing act that society plays, balancing progress and extending social and literal boundaries with the safety of tried and tested values of conservatives.
I remember this story from last year. My heart goes out to his wife.
This happened a mile down the street from my house. Been in Olathe for years, so many wonderful people. you would never guess such evil exists in the shadows.
Olathe is such an ugly bland city though. I would never live there because I would want to take vacations elsewhere all the time.
Listening to this woman tell her story just hurts my heart, like someone punched me in the chest. I can't imagine her pain and the pain of their families. Her husband sounded like a good, hardworking man. This is the cost of racism and ignorance, and it's terrible.
does it also hurt your heart that Africans face racism and violence living in India?
@@angelaholt6523 all kinds of racism is wrong. What makes you think it's ok to engage in whataboutery when one incident is mentioned? Racism everywhere deserves to be called out. Stop masking your problems by pointing fingers in other directions
I literally only live two blocks away from this bar. And I remember hearing about this in my senior year. He worked at Garmin which is is literally across the street from Olathe South High (like a block) and this was so sad to hear about because it literally happened so close. That man who shot him is despicable
Leave Kansas as soon as you can, I left at 18 and never returned. Life is too short to live in a #$%@ state like that.
KS5040 you must have lived in the west half because this is one of my favorite cities in the country
Cities or states? I would suggest learning some geography. I lived in three different areas of the state from the west to the east. There are far better states to live in than Kansas, you just have to be more successful in life and pay more to enjoy the nicer places. It's a good incentive for younger people in the state to leave the bleak mediocre existence behind and join the real world- one that has strong job growth, people of differing backgrounds, and high levels of educational attainment.
KS5040 you keep liking your own comment
KS5040 job growth is very strong where this shooting takes place in Olathe. They just expanded Garmin
i met the shooter he has ptsd and he worked at minskys for awhile, always knew something was wrong with him...
Absolutely shocking!
My brother lives in Olathe, I live just 3 hours away.
I know all the streets & places we saw in this video!
I've eaten at that restaurant with my brother and his kids!!
It's a nice enough place, the food was good enough, the staff and other patrons were great. I cannot fathom this happening there!!
Absolutely shocking!
Hatred kills... This poor man lost his life for being different... The poor widow should sue for DAMAGES. Take that money and use it to fight bigotry and hatred. Sadly, this is what happens when the leader DOES NOT speak out against the bigotry of a lot of his supporters but rather excuses it. It is good to see different types of persons from that community come and speak against hatred. All the best to this poor woman. May her husband rest in peace eternally. May positive change come from this tragedy.
"Is there somewhere you can sit?" My heart goes out to this woman. I was gonna say some ugly shit about his attackers but nah I'm gonna give my props to her and the community that supported her in her time of need.
I am VERY Patriotic, but this is HORRIFIC! We, as Americans, need to understand that not every Middle-Eastern/Asian person is a terrorist or out to ruin or overtake this country. What we need to worry about is people who believe religious (sharia) Law supersedes the Constitution and laws of this country! These people are intelligent, hard working Indians who truly want to integrate and make our country great! Breaks my heart! I am SO sorry to all of his family. RIP! 🙏🏽
I am Cree/Metis of America. I am sorry that this happened to you and your loved ones. Unfortunately this hatred is not new in America. You belong here as much as any descendant of European heritage. The diversity you bring to this continent is appreciated. Racism is a learned behavior we can unlearn. Don't teach your children hatred facebook.com/WeAreOneRaceTheHumanRace/
Heartbreaking 😣
Exactly, as you know that she wants to stay and leave at the same time.
Live must be painful, as each she wakes up in their house, without him, knowing that he is gone...
Thats such a shame.....he seemed like such a nice guy.
And his wife is such a sweetheart....i hope shes okay.
What the f*ck is wrong w/ this country?
Is there any thing right
You are amazing. Thank you for staying here.
My friends dad owns that Austin’s, it was a scary time
I live just miles from here, and I never heard a thing about it.... hmmmm, I wonder why??(being sarcastic)... ridiculous
Leave Kansas... I saw the writing on the wall years ago- the state suffers from a severe brain drain problem. Life is too short to live in a #$%@ state like that.
She needs to stay in our country! We have to fight, politically, for LOVE and acceptance.
Why can't people live above racism?
Most people try to avoid being racist, but the few manage to still hate those of us who are different.
Because some Americans and to a lesser extent Canadians of European or British descent think their racial background is a fucking badge of honor and everyone who isn't like them is garbage. Like they had any hand in building the railroad or establishing the Western United States. Be happy about your heritage but not be fucking prideful of it.
Because the Americas were built upon racism, eradication, and enslavement.
Horrible, there are negatives to mass immigration but these people have contributed so much to society and integrated as best they can
the positives far outweigh the negatives
*@Hurt Kobain* For selective migration (cream of the crop) like the U.S. practices: yes. For uncontrolled floods like the European refugee crisis: no.
100,000 illegal migrants allowed across our boarders have done NOTHING for America except live off of gov. welfare at OUR expense. but shooting them is WRONG
2015-16 there was an uncontrolled, allowed flood of migrants across the Mexican/US boarder, allowing 100,000 migrants across our boarders i hardly call that controlled, granted it's not nearly as bad as it is in Europe
You're wrong. Illegals don't get welfare. They only contribute to taxes and don't get any welfare in return. They're doing work most people don't want and helping pay your social security.
This is an example where I support the death penalty.
Welcome to America folks.
It aint an American thing. A little Muslim girl got raped and murdered in India recently because she was Muslim. When I was in Japan, a group of Japanese called me Baka Gaijin as they passed by, for no reason at all. It's a tribalism thing, a human condition as old as our species.
MythicalOtter: Correction, welcome to sick White America.
The thing is that we should be more intelligent than that. You'd be surprised how much you might have in common with a 'foreigner'.
Why are you being sick and hateful, Tarzan ???
@Tarzan are you native?
Yes, you belong as much as any of us do. I'm so sorry for your loss 😪
i just want to give her a hug.
I'm so sorry for your lost beautiful lady. I pray the Lord takes away your pain.😇
Maria, You wrote one of the kindest posts here, remembering the victim's wife, rather than the divide between politics & people ...
An extraordinary story of a woman's courage and class in the face of a life-shattering incident. Proud to be an Indian and more than that a human being
Thank you for telling this story so well. Bless this beautiful lady and through this tragedy may the hearts of the local community forever be changed and division bombarded by love.
Oh my god thanks for the documentary.
There is a stupidity problem in America. People so stupid they can’t even tell a culture apart. And it’s an epidemic.
No one deserves to happen what happened to those 2 men. Anyone who does crimes like this must get the highest degree of punishment/sentence. I dont care who it is, even if it is my son/daughter does it.
I felt extremely sorry for the lady. It had me in tears. I hope she gets out of this and moves on her path.
That poor woman, to have her husband murdered for such a base and pathetic reason as the colour of his skin. I thought America was supposed to be the Land of the Free.
This made me tear up. I hope she is doing well and keeps up the good work.
What I dislike the most about stories like this is the ignorance of the perp. People from India look very different than people from Iran. They wear different clothes, They have different accents and mannerisms. I remember the first time I heard of something like this. Sikh man in a busy city in California longed for more elbow room. So he moved to Arizona, and bought a gas station. Sikh men don't cut their hair, so they often wear a turban to manage it. They also often wear a bracelet. Sikh are not Muslims, it is a very different religion. This man was gunned down by an angry teenager who was mad at the muslim politics and terrorism across the world. This man just wanted some peace.
There are lots of Iranians and Indians where I am. I'm not so sure about them wearing different clothes (In the west Iranian women don't tend to wear shawls and neither do Indian women). The accents are different but to an untrained ear they sound pretty similar just like English and Australian accents. Mannerisms? They're similar yet distinct.
Iranians and Indians can look alike but the similarity is mainly between Persians, Balochis, and North Indians. Not so much South Indians (which these 2 victims are). You can find Iranians from the southeast (Sistan and Balochistan) who resemble these 2 but this region only makes up like 1-2% of Iran's population.
Anyways, whether they are/were Iranian or Indian they didn't deserve to be shot. I'm glad the shooter is now in prison.
I wish I could hug this woman and tell her that this man is the worst not the best of us. Geez....There is no American dream to be found here. Not now. Not anymore.
She is taking a terrible situation and turning it into an opportunity to teach -unfortunately the haters are not listening; their ignorance is deep and wide and approved by our political idiot at the helm
Eh!? How did I never hear of this?
Thousands of horrible (and wonderful) things happen across the world every day, we can't hear about all of them. It's too much for any one person to process, and there aren't enough hours in a day... or a life.
Because the victim didn't have blonde hair and blue eyes...
Probably because it's just a single guy. People die at a rate of greater than 1 per 1,000 population (8.2/1,000 in the US). Not sure what MonaG meant, though.
This guy, I think, is from the place or something
MonaG yes we he is asking about ww2 thank you for your intelligence
I'm crying for America....
shows who’s weak
I'm very sorry for your pain I'm here crying for what you've lost but I feel your strength and I know you'll prosper and get stronger so I wish you success in all your encounters
Good luck my dear.
What a brave, beautiful woman. I'm touched to hear her story, and will take it with me. 💜 Forever welcome 💜
Holy shit this happened 3 streets away from my house. And this happened a week before we moved there
I am very grateful she was able to have the strength to share her story and many others like this. It is unfortunate that in this day and age we still have so much intolerance. We all need to be patient and accepting. Be a better people and come together in all times not just in tragedy. We are not better than one another just all different and the sooner we can accept and strengthen one another the better off we will be as a people.
Why would anyone dislike this video
May's World! It was sad.
So much hate... :( It must be the most heart breaking thing to hear that from the police...
Indians, particularly in the US and abroad in general are probably the most non-offensive people on the planet. They assimilate astonishingly well. What a tragedy. RIP Srinivas.
Thank you for the story.
Good luck from Australia.
I have grown from this story. Thank you.
I’m glad the people of all color are acknowledging something bad has happened here. Humanity is common sense
So sad. God bless her with strength.
I'm an Indian and was in the midwest. I felt people there were awesome, warm and welcoming. I'm in the east coast now and miss the midwest so much! This was an unfortunate stray incident. God Bless America!

Yes you do. Hate crimes in Europe and Australia are increasing.
Thank you for making this documentary. So touching.
This is so sad and terrible
My heart breaks for this women.

You are a strong woman . Keep it like that . Rest In Peace srenu.

This woman is a hero. We won't forget. India will rise, we will remember. Stay strong.
We are the most angry , most scared nation on earth. Most places these things happen (rural/suburban) areas are amongst the safest places on earth to live and they are still scared all the time. I just have never gotten it. There are places in US(inner cities) that are very dangerous to live yet people living in those areas are less scared, go figure.
This is devastation. Lost of words. We must defeat hate.
If it's not safe for her family, it's not safe for anyone's family.
Racism is kinda cringe
Very moving work, Thank you this opens up mind in a non retaliatory view
Sad story but I don't understand how the government can stop a hate crime or any crime . That's how fast violence happens evil will always find a way.
Amazing courage! We are all with you.
What a lovely, lovely young woman. We all lose when hate crimes are committed.
This is very sad condolences to this woman and her family such a sad loss no matter if they are a scammer or anything else no one deserves this just because they are different
Everyone has a right LIFE
Ugh, Olathe, KS is one of the most hideously ugly cities around, couldn't imagine how depressing it would be to live there! If you have to live in Johnson County there are nicer places to live that actually have large trees and houses that aren't horribly ugly looking.
The place where this people live looks so depressing
Yea, it is the garbage state of Kansas, run by a bunch of far right wing loons. They claim it is the "Midwest" but has very little in common with the region. Most young people leave as soon as they can, moving to much better quality of life places.
The main difference between Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, etc. is that they are all influenced by the South. Most of the Midwest along and north of Interstate 80 has very little southern influence other than remnant aspects of the Great Migration in the 20th century in some of the largest cities. Anywhere in the lower Midwest or upper South also gets some of the worst weather in the US to go along with social conservatives and mostly living in the past.
Mainstream media ignored this tragic story they were more focused on porn stars
And where is the shooter now? I hope in jail or hell
This does not speak for what the community in Olathe is actually like. This man was disgusting, and murdered people ina town that has very little crimes. This is the first hate crime EVER in our city.
Do not unfairly paint our community. EVERYONE is welcome and all of Olathe is a very diverse and friendly community to all walks of life, all races, all nationalities.
I was hoping this man got the death penalty.
Life is too short to live in the $#%@ state of Kansas. I left as soon as I could, 14 years ago. Very low quality of life, cost of living is low for a reason.
KS5040 Johnson county Kansas is literally rated as one of the highest qualities of living. You’re full of sh1t.
Kansas Isn't flat, Johnson County, KS is one of the more overrated places to live in the US. You can find JOCO in any large metro area in the country as it is a bland corporate suburb with overpriced houses and little outdoor recreation to be found. It is not close to any desirable areas of the US, and is far from everything else. The weather is horrid and the social culture is backward. It is politically awful, and younger people are leaving as fast as possible to better functioning states.
Also, taxes are high in the KC metro area, and you get little in return for those compared to most other larger metro areas in the US. Most sales taxes in the metro area prop up developments and fund more corporate welfare, enjoy paying 10% sales tax for grocery food items, that is a joke. Most states do not have a sales tax on grocery food items period.
KS5040 hey how about you stop posting nonsense and liking your comment right after you post it,
Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting.
I’m so sorry he died. You need to know, and I’m sure you do know this, but just in case, America is still the land of the free and home of the brave and yes, even your home, and it’s still the country you loved and were so excited to come to. You are so brave and that person should not be alive who shot your husband, I send my condolences to you and your entire family.
Such a heart breaking story, A dreamer lost his life shattering his family and a community. We all have dreams and people can't or wouldn't have one at least should't snatch some one else dream.
Its a shame, the Indian people are very spiritual people and such nice people God Bless Her........
RIP. So sorry this happened to you .
No one has the right to kill someone even if they are illegal, that the job of ICE to deal with illegal aliens, not the American citizens.... what a terrible loss, he was such a handsome man, he seem to be kind hearted, also. I am so sorry his life was cut short!
India sadhguru
High economically
Physicality
And most important, human
I’m from this town, stuff like this never happenens everyone was in shock when we heard what happened
Kansas looks so desolate. Depressing in fact. I prefer the coast or even Arizona more diversity in those places. They must have been stuck in Kansas due to the EB-2 Green Card and could not move out of desolate Kansas. Oh some Indian kid got shot in July 8th 2018 at good ol Kansas, this latest victim was not a hate crime just a robbery gone bad
Kansas is a horrid state, run by a bunch of far right wing Republicans that are practically fascists. Anyone with half a brain left the state years ago outside of parts of 'Johnson County' the Kansas City metropolitan area featured in this video. Life is too short to spend it in a $#%@ state like Kansas, offers very little in quality of life for most people.
I found New Mexico rural areas as most friendly than the other states in east and west. The vast country side is rich in welcoming communities even though the deserts appear to be kind of desolate.
@@sherinbv the only Indians who should aspire for settling in America are those with family based sponsorships. The eb2 eb3 Indians are just wasting their time. America only wants their skills America does not want more Indians. One would think Indian folks with US MS degrees and high iq techies would realize that. I have 0 sympathy for our countrymen who willingly subject themselves to this system and then complain about America.
I traveled to D.C. last September, to do some research from my Ph.D. I was affraid that something happened to me with all this violent racism in E.U., I was scared to talk in my language and when someone looked at me in the restaurants I expected for the worst
I hate it when the SJW take things too far. (EDIT having said this) This is a clear case of someone too far right. It is shocking horrible and inexcusable.
I feel for the family. The problem is the world is getting too extreme on both ends.
John Cheresna what the hell do "sjws" have to do with any of this aside from being the side that most likely would have defended this person
I am saying both extremes are bad. I want balance, which is getting more and more difficult to obtain because things have become so far left it is scary. So if you read my comment again you will see that I am apparently the few now a days that are balanced. I will add an edit to my comment.
What you endured and are enduring too this day, should never happen to anyone. My question is, why Olathe, KS.? Olathe is klan central for Kansas. Going out after dark in Olathe if you're not white, is much like going into parts of Detroit after dark if you're not black. I wish you all the best, but I would seriously consider finding a much more hospitable place to live.
All of Kansas is generally a horrible place to live, anyone with half a brain saw the writing on the wall years ago and left. There are good reasons why the vast majority of the counties in the state are rapidly declining in population.
Steve Sievers that’s not true at all, foreigners move here because of the schools and blacks move here to get the hell out of Missouri
This is one man shooting another man in a bar. Period.
