Kidnap victim Amanda Lindhout speaks publicly about Somalia experience

[Tamara92asdf]

This needs to be made into a movie. Young beautiful Canadian girl goes to somalia as a 'journalist', gets kidnapped, held in captivity for over a year, raped vigorously and then they ransom her dumb ass off! And why is the work she did before her kidnapping even considered journalism? What a joke.

[TheGangstaogloc]

pepole these days........... damn

[OzTerri]

s'okay,. hes male and didnt get raped continually

[sstroker1012]

WHAT IGNORANT COMMENTS! It is MORE than apparent that none of you have actually heard Amanda tell her complete story, or listened to her message of forgiveness and hope, or her overwhelming desire and calling to live in a better world.Think about it, if she was looking for the limelight, she would have used all this energy, grabbed an agent and sold her story as a 'movie of the week' (and would have been acceptable to do so since her family was financially ruined after paying her ransom!).

[SocialDemocrat1789]

@sstroker1012 fuck off Amanda you dumb cunt

[SocialDemocrat1789]

jesus christ, what a fucking attention whore!

"look at me, look at me!"

Ah, Amanda, you CHOSE to go to Somalia to try and be a hero. You fucked up.

The Somalis who were born there in poverty - they had no choice. They're the ones worthy of attention, not you.

[vrz07]

judging from her body language she appears seemingly of enjoyed her captivity. Yvonne riddley was captivated by the taliban and when released she was appraising them with sympathy

[13triki]

This women, and all those like her, deserve one day to meet again those rapists, and with gun in hand-they should decide then- either to forgive those scums or just shot them in the spot.

And yes, as someone put it, her balls are bigger than many, many of us!

[skillz1855]

u people r really sick, she's doin what she feels is right, and all u do is criticize her, her balls are far bigger than urs

[JDubs878]

She's pretty. Kinda reminds me of a young Bo Derek. Of all the places that she can go and help, she chooses Africa?? That's fucked up man. >_>

[woodycoat]

Disgusting. What a waste of a pretty lady to be raped by Somalia animals. And she wants to go back!? WTF is wrong with her?

Women get raped as journalists and Peace Corps. Just disgusting that they put themselves in those situations.

[KCSHIT]

@woodycoat typical red-nick what's new ?

[BrehWassup]

That wasn't her. The recording was another woman. If she wants to go back let her go shes not going back to report shes going back to help out the women they're.

[jamieblond1]

There's something seriously wrong with this delusional dumb-ass.

If you listened to the audio recordings of her when she was being held captive, she was wondering how she could go on much longer.....and then she goes back?

Maybe she has one of those jungle fever fetishes.

[jamesings]

What a stupid and sick woman. She goes there pretending to help fully knowing the animals who will do anything for fun and ransom money. And she is going back for more of that. She must have enjoyed 15 months of captivity and now craving for more so she is back in Somalia. How mentally sick this girl is.

[balaalalaslk]

Fuck the people who kidnapped her. But it doesn't mean we should lose hope on Somalia there are good people there who are in situations way worse than hers. I mean what did Clinton and the Republicans expect when they left a country filled with crazy angry lunatics, they should have finished the job.

[SuperSpearhunter]

When will liberals learn that some places are not worth the effort.

[dresdennow]

This poor woman is Delusional. I wonder how many times those bastards raped her and she still is trying to keep the facade that she respescts those black bastards.

[pgthinker007]

@dresdennow

She believes in Crist.

[pgthinker007]

@pgthinker007

Sorry... I just read an article about her. She is no longer Christiian. Now she has a baby from one of his captors.

[stollery14]

Some of you sicken me with your comments .. grow up! she came to my school to give 3 presentations today and last night. she wasn't only abused and starved, and raped, and not given any freedom for 15 and a half months, and no communication with her family, and was almost killed and threated everyday but she forgave the 14 year old boys doing this to her! i hope you people get whats coming to you and have to go threw more then she has but there isn't anything worse then this.

[nobounds23]

lol wow i just read about how this crazy Married one of her kindnappers and one of the men who raped her her while she was captive in somilia whats sad is they did something to break her mind and shes being used all over again and nobody can do anything to help its sad i mean if that happend in the us thier are programes to help her

[macandrewes]

"my sisters in somalia". Vom.

[SWAGGINGDIVA]

Corvette idiot nigel was tge other guy kidnapped. Some of u people are so stupid.

[Corvettes66]

We can all say thanks for the useless and stupid Republican party in congress for forcing Clinton out of Somalia during the 90s. If the US and the UN had stayed in Somalia it wouldn't be like this with still over 700 hostages being raped and pregnant by their captors like Amanda Lindhout had suffered and being tortured everyday.

[Corvettes66]

At 1:26 she said Nigel? Isn't that a Latin word meaning nigger/black? "Referring to an black man. Also shortend to nige. A derogatory term for a black person." I don't blame the poor girl she was raped by a pack of 20 barbaric animals, and had a miscarriage by the way these animals the way they treated her in a dark room with no food and clean water.

[1kariberry]

@Corvettes66 Nigel was her friend and Australian cameraman that was kidnapped with her

[NeoQuello]

given how gorgeous she is how is it possible she wasnt raped.... maybe they dint have to..

[antmayfield]

Fuckin sexy!!

[TimeGod12]

I don't understand why she smiled at 1:26 when she talked about her "abuse".

I have never seen genuine victims of abuse "smile" when they recall memories of rape and violence.

Hypocrite trying to make fame and fortune out of her supposedly bad plight.

[JimthereT]

Stockholm syndrome strikes again.
