For Free?

I'm working on an article on the Kiboko Squad (for those not up on the Ugandan news, they're a group of plain clothes thugs who walked around with canes during one of the last demonstrations beating people at random) for which I had to go and find some of the Kiboko and interview them.

More on that to follow with my newspaper article, but for now, a funny moment from the interview.

"Did you get paid?" I asked.

"No, we were volunteering to protect the peace," said the Kiboko.

Here my friend who was along interrupted and said, "You mean you beat people for free?"

You know, I certainly would be one of them guys, if I were a city trader. Of all the people who were involved in the melee (hitting or getting hit), they were the most-logical. Save, of course, for the cases where by-standers get hit, which I know didn't happen then. So, yay! He rocks!
