I just started seeing these vile disgusting thieves and con artists at strip malls and major thoroughfares, infants in tow begging for money. After a quick search, seems they're all over. I suppose they're coming in from Mexico. Just more societal degradation thanks to liberal scum border policy.
Enjoy your new Roma buddies, they particularly like begging in supermarket car parks. It kind of makes you wish Trump had not slashed the CDC staff in China prior to the Covid outbreak put there by Obama to prevent another pandemic after H1N1 etc. Obama CDC in Chyyyna? Cut without a moments thought. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-china-cdc-exclusiv-idUSKBN21C3N5
There's one family of them I see all the time around here (VA)...at the mall, HD, Walmart He plays a violin (pretty good, too) and has his kids with him.
our lovely supreme court decision to protect pan handling is one thing.. a lifeless toddler in 95 degree heat used as a prop to scam is another thing altogether. apparently law enforcement seams to be confused about the 2 scenarios.
Yeah, the Roma are really irritating. Seems they decided to jump the pond due to the pandemic. "The overall number of CDC employees in China declined from 44 in March 2017 to 14 in March 2020. Specifically, the CDC cut its staff from 14 to five during that time in the Division of Global Health Protection — which is charged with helping “to stop potential pandemics at the source,” according to the CDC website." Oh and they had no director for months.
In Russia, they would sedate the child all the time to keep it from crying. And many times the child wasn't even theirs. They'd "borrow" the child from the mom (what mom would give up their child like that, I have no idea) for the day.
Now you have Roma everywhere thanks to Trump, would it help to know they are descended from nomadic Indians not Egyptians? Quite interesting, the source of their peculiar mystic traditions and design style make sense. https://www.myindiamyglory.com/2021...es-of-europe-indian-in-origin-here-are-facts/
I remember as a kid 30 years ago spending summer in Europe they were all over doing their voodoo fortune telling, general begging, colorful outfits though.
There is a new thing with the Holocaust surviving Western European Roma converting to extreme Christian God botherers so their more interesting traditions are disappearing. The Irish and Scottish travellers (not genetically related and very Catholic) find them annoying and disturbing. Well if they are trying to escape looney God botherers, it's out of frying pan into the fire in the USA.
