Asbjorn,
To add to what Abdoul explained, they were arrested
including a lot of other nationalities for overstaying
their visas in the United States. This happened
because of their company's mishap with the September
11 incident, and the govt. had to crack down this
company.
We are all saddened by this here in Atlanta, because
these people happen to be in the wrong place at the
wrong time. They are hard working people with families
to feed both here and back in The Gambia.
What is escalating this issue is because we have a
moron that call himself MC--meaning "Moronic
Character", that believes that these people deserve
what they got and they are criminals.
I hope that gives you a little light to the issue.
Thanks
Gibby.
