Most compounds and facilities which employ a high number of expats do have security who carry weapons. These are generally officials from the Saudi National Guard.

Did you teach in KSA at all? And if so, would you share some of your experiences and views in that respect?

As a former high school teacher it seems that many adult males are stuck in a mental time warp of teenage immaturity. Generally speaking of course and no offense intended to the many men who do not fall into this gross generalization.

Deprivation and depravity go hand in hand… I’m enjoying your blogs about segregation!

That is atrocious. Now do you think it is because of the segregation that it has made guys so desperate and ignorant in this case???

I have experienced this myself and heard of 3 other incidences in the last 3 years here.

There should be a special word for it other than crime, something in between pathetic, stupid and criminal.

When people condemn theft in theory, yet refuse to label the specific act a crime, or prosecute the known perpetrator as a criminal.
