    So this story is all over the UK news at the moment, what do you guys from over the pond think happened here?

    Seems from the reports that they just ended up in a bad part of town by mistake & paid for it with their lives, shame as they both looked to be decent lads

    Two tourists in the projects at three a.m.? My guess is they met a guy at a bar that was going to hook them up with some pot or coke. Possibly something worse. The guy drove them there and the deal either went south or as the article suggests, the locals planned to take them down for the money and valuables.

    The lesson? Stay away from the ghetto parts of town at night....

    Dude, just stay out of Florida.

    There's nothing worth going to Florida for.

    It's America's wang!
    Those aren't real problems, Sam.

    I doubt they really new where they were headed unfortunately...


    Annoying this 16 year old polution to the gene pool has taken out what appears to be two nice and intelligent young lads...
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    I thought there were universal "wrong side of the tracks" signs that are recognized across the globe. Bars over doors and windows, shoes hanging from power lines, cars up on blocks with the wheels missing, 30 people gathered on a 6 x 6 stoop regardless of the time of day, etc.

    Why would anyone want to go to Florida? You'd have to learn Spanish in order to get around anywhere, no thanks.

    I'd prefer to remain in states where English is still the primary language. I generally hate traveling anyway. Everything I need is within 20 miles of me.

    This type of thing is one of the reasons I explicitly hate traveling -- I'm always convinced I'll end up in the wrong place at the wrong time.

    There's a big sign at the border that says "Welcome to Florida"...

    Wait, is that a bad part of town or an old episode of Sanford and Son?
