This really could be bad.

“It’s a third world situation we’re facing here. This is what happens in Africa, not in Illinois, or Chicago or the United States. We’re all going to pay the price.”

Perhaps. But let's consider the source of this alarming quote.

John Peller: http://www.facebook.com/johnpeller

Here's a guy who uses his Facebook profile photo to advocate for politica/social causes. He's that sort of chap. I wouldn't put it past someone who uses FB that way to say some inflammatory, unprovable things to a reporter.

Does he know this is how it is in Africa? Maybe it's a heck of a lot worse here than it is over there. perhaps he's slurring africa with this line.

I looked him up on Linked in http://www.linkedin.com/pub/john-peller/6/830/883

But it didn't say whether he'd spent time in or worked in Africa or not. Nevertheless, worth taking this quote with some skepticism.
