Sarajevo Safari is the name for an alleged war tourism phenomenon during the siege of Sarajevo (1992–1996) involving human hunting. According to the reports, wealthy foreign nationals were enabled, for large monetary fees, to shoot at civilians in the besieged city with sniper rifles for entertainment purposes.

      It goes far beyond just rich people. I think it’s unfortunately a rather large chunk of humanity in general. The rich just have the means to make it happen and get away with it.

      I grew up dirt poor, and there was no shortage of poor people beating their kids, molesting kids, beating their spouses, killing their spouses, or beating or killing others. It was the norm.

      They’d just end up in jail more often.

      The reason why only rich people do shit like this is that it takes money to do it.

        Poor people have to enlist in the military for the opportunity. Not saying that everyone in the military signed up for this reason, but the amount of people that did is definitely higher that zero.

          Yep but you also get a chance to get shot when you’re poor. And you don’t get to go home when you’re done.
