- bediger4000 1y agoThere need to be swift, severe penalties for these generational crime families. They can't speak, all they understand is violence and ransom, so we must "speak" the only language that they also understand.
- dennis_jeeves2 1y agoUnder section 3.5.6.dx of the primate penal code.

- refulgentis 1y agoHaha based!!
- saghm 1y agoIt's about time we stop supplying them with sources of dietary fiber and force them to cultivate some moral fiber instead.

- naikrovek 1y agoI get that reference. And I applaud it. “oooOOOhhh, chimpanzee that! Monkey News, ya fff…”
- windowsworkstoo 1y agoThe amount of ideas Karl had that have since come to fruition is quite remarkable
- naikrovek 1y agohe's no dummy, that's for sure.
- OutOfHere 1y agoAs noted in the comments of the WSJ article, the monkeys have allegedly been trained by their human handlers to engage in this behavior. It is to promote the sales of the local food vendors at all costs. It is a criminal enterprise, but the criminals are still humans.
- econ 1y agoI wonder if they can serve drinks. Deliver packages?
- c22 1y agoSure, why not? Monkey helpers are trained to assist with tasks such as: Retrieving dropped objects such as cell phones or remote controls Opening bottles and inserting straws Turning on buttons/switches for remotes, phones, and computers Repositioning limbs on a wheelchair after a muscle spasm to prevent sores and other injuries Turning pages and scratching itches https://www.sunrisemedical.com/livequickie/blog/september-2018/monkey-helpers https://www.sunrisemedical.com/livequickie/blog/september-20...
- hatthew 1y ago> A photograph taken by one of the thieves themselves. uh oh
- quantified 1y agoDon't forget how closely related we are. Not as close as to the murderous bastards known as chimpanzees, but close enough.

- decimalenough 1y agoI saw the title, got ready to post about my own criminal monkey misadventures, and realized it's the same place (Uluwatu Temple). However, the story underplays an important element: it's actually a triangular syndicate of crime, and humans are very much part of the picture. First, the monkey steals something of value from a tourist and (the missing bit) they run inside the temple buildings, which are off-limits to tourists. Second, a friendly temple priest or caretaker (the mentioned "monkey handlers"), who is allowed inside, fences the loot by exchanging it for something a monkey values, like a tasty banana. Third, the relieved tourist gets their belongings back and generously tips the caretaker.
- micah94 1y agoDo you think WSJ is doing this deliberately? Leaving out the part about how it's actually humans behind it. I've heard of this a long time ago, but I see this is a new story. Probably a hundred generations of monkeys have learned this behavior and they don't need any training or handling at this point!
- llbbdd 1y agoIt would not surprise me if WSJ leave this out to avoid painting white tourists as victims.
- decimalenough 1y agoOr brown locals as complicit.
- saghm 1y agoAh yes, the infamously woke Wall Street Journal, bastion of leftwing propaganda since time immemorial.
- decimalenough 1y agoYup, that seems to pretty much sum up Trump's view of it. https://www.rawstory.com/trump-wsj-2673800159/ https://www.rawstory.com/trump-wsj-2673800159/
- antonvs 1y ago> The criminal enterprise run by monkeys The US government?
- dennis_jeeves2 1y agoThat would be closer to a banana republic of monkeys, run by monkeys, for the monkeys.
- thmryth 1y agoI thought it was going to be about Sony, Bethesda, or a credit card company.
- Detrytus 1y agoReminds me of my visit on Gibraltar: monkeys jumping on cars, or stealing purses
