Every crazed, homeless, beggar has his day in court, when is mine?

A select few of you already know this, for those of you who don't, this will help you through today's blog post. So here is the short version;

I was grabbed in my boma, twice.

There is a crazy homeless guy who hangs out and harasses people, locals, tourists, kids, anyone. Last Wednesday he was following me around the boma ranting and raving and ended up grabbing my ass.  I got freaked out and left for Lilongwe for a few days, and he was arressted for a night.  A week later, (Wednesday) I get back to Nkhotakota I get grabbed again, the police had given him a haircut and shaved his beard, I practically walked right into him! This time my site mate is with me and she gets grabbed as well.

One of the interesting things about Malawian culture is the apathy.  Here are two people clearly in distress being harassed and visably grabbed and what do the tons of people around us do? Laugh. Because he is crazy it is funny. 

Anyway, we pick up bricks to throw at him and walked to the police station, file a report, and are told to come back to be in court on Friday.  So we get all the way here and are told that nothing is happening untill Tuesday, and even then it is just his day in court to state 'Guilty' or 'Innocent'.  They will call when we are needed. 

So what did we learn today? Walk around with bricks and the kids finally don't talk to you, and dealing with legal systems sucks globally. Wooh.
