Robbed yet again in lovely Buenos Aires!!

Hey Everyone!
 
I am happy to report that I was robbed yet again in this fucking degenerate city of Buenos Aires!  :)  I have now grown to hate and despise all people of Buenos Aires.  Every time I see one, all I can think about is that they are nothing but disgusting thieves.  And as lenient as I usually am with many crimes, I have always thought that stealing is one of the very worst things a human being can do.  I am a firm supporter of Hammurabi's Code whereby someone who steals should have their hand chopped off.  It is a great way to let everyone else who come in contact with said thief to know that he/she is nothing but human scum.
 
In this particular instance, Ozell and I just had a long day walking around two different neighborhoods.  Since we were both hungry and exhausted, we decided to take the subway home.  It was rush hour and very crowded on the subway.  We were both very cognizant that this was a prime time to be victims of pick pockets.  I locked my wallet down in a buttoned cargo shorts pocket on one leg and locked my camera down in a similar pocket on the other leg.  The entire trip I kept my one free hand over the pocket my wallet was in.  My other hand was needed to hold onto the ceiling railing since there was standing room only.  I kept my eyes on the pocket with my camera in it.  Then as we got to our stop, Ozell was able to get off relatively easily.  I had to force my way through a couple of people and as I was doing this one guy came from behind and pushed me one way.  Another person (i don't know if it was a guy or girl), came from the opposite side and bumped and pushed me from that side almost causing me to fall as I was simultaneously stepping onto the platform.  I immediately checked my pockets and noticed my camera was gone.  My wallet was still there.  I turned around and got back on the train and started shouting, "Who took my fucking camera?!  Which one of you fucking people took my camera?!"  The one guy who bumped me as he was making his way to the door but who did not get off the train answered, "I didn't take anything!" and motioned at his pants as if he had nothing.  I am pretty sure he didn't take it because he is the one who bumped me first and from the other side from the camera.  But I damn well think he was responsible for this theft with his partner who I did not see and who bumped me secondly and on the camera side.  I knew it was a lost cause, and the doors were closing with Ozell unaware that any of this was going on.  I decided to get off the train and just eat this robbery as well. 
 
This all happened in the 15 second window where I quit looking at my pocket with the camera in it so I could look and see my way off the train.
 
Unfortunately, I will not be able to think of anything positive about Buenos Aires, and this has really soured my feelings towards Argentines in general.  They are nothing but low life scum, and I hope their economy collapses like it did in 2001 but only harder and more severely.  I wish they have to eat their dogs in order to feed the hungry mouths of their own litters of babies since they breed like cats in this Catholic country.
 
Fucking despicable people...
 
Sorry for such an angry post.  I am writing this within a handful of minutes of the actual robbery happening because I needed to start working it out of my system.
 
The only "good" thing that I can salvage at the moment is that I bought a $120 camera on purpose in case this very thing happened and that I only lost the pictures from our walking tour today since I have formed the habit of downloading pics from the camera as soon as I return home usually.
 
I hope the rest of you are well,
 
Sean
