Probably Just a Robbery

Friday, October 16th, 2015

When the Westgate mall attack kicked off, a fruit and vegetable supplier tried to get people to flee:

Looking over the balustrade and down into the atrium, Sandeep saw people running. He dropped his shopping and joined others rushing for the exit. “Move out! Move out! We’re under attack!” he shouted as he raced for the door. Sandeep made straight for the children’s cookery competition, shouting at people to run. One of the organizers told him to calm down, saying it was probably just a robbery and would be over soon.

So, with grenades exploding, AKs firing, and people screaming, there’s no need to run away, because it’s probably just a robbery? Welcome to Kenya?
