and I have the opposite reaction to your post
1. like: If you are going to send your teenagers, who have a tendency to run amok in the middle of the night and refuse to obey the curfew
WHO and WHAT makes you think this kid is what you describe
your scale moves all they way to say the guard was correct in his actions based on your pesonal assumtions on the kid
ILLEGAL weapon, no permit and no training while working as a guard for this hotel and HE did not know there where 40 American kids in that hotel
against a 16 year old kid making a stupid thing against an intelligent guard doing the right thing
I agree you don’t have a slight value for a human life and hope you never become a judge (frightening thought)
but if it was your kid killed?? under the same circumstances and had to clean his room for the last time because he will never come back
you would be singing another tune or crying
are you serious??
“some responsibility has to lay at the feet of the victim for doing what he wasn’t supposed to be doing and thumbing his nose at the rules that were made to keep him safe.”
responsability on the victim (16 year old teen)
obvious you had no testosteron problem when you were 16
your analisys of a teen, “mixed up with a psychopath for a night of drinking and drugging and winds up missing”
just misses the point since this is not what happened or even CLOSE to what really happened
let me explain;
“SHOT DEAD by an incompetent guard with no permit and unregistered gun”
is the same as;
“SHOT DEAD by a guard with a permit and registered gun”
that boy is dead; all the same and just because he violated a curfew
well I better go to bed now and follow instructions if I want to wake up alive next day
clueless in CR comes to mind when I read your post
right on the money P:
even and even IF the US Embassy decides to let this issue RIDE into the sunset
the damage has been done and all the press has to do is magnify with little letters that a teenager was shot DEAD in CR by MISTAKE
bet you the German, Dutch, Spain, England people are reading about this story
and as parents they are presented next week/month with a field trip to Costa Rica!!! for one of their children
want to make a pick between the odds that parents will vote yes or no
the damage control department in CR is working overtime in this issue and laying a RED carpet to the US Embassy, all the way from San Jose to La Fortuna
This info is all over El Nuevo Dia, La Nacion, The Tico times
the last I did read is that the guard DID NOT have a permit for the gun
the 11:00 PM or 10 PM was the curfew hour
both surviving boy’s an the guard stated that the guard did indeed shoot a WARNING round first
as I read more and more about this issue the more questins I have;
what is a guard doing with a weapon that is not registered, and without a permit to carry
what kind of hotel hires a guard that knows there are over 40 kid’s staying in their premises and expects them to behave like an AARP crowd
and whatever happens this guy is not getting any sympathy from the Costa Rican either from the blogs I have read in spanish coming from Costa Rica an telephone conversations with family/friends
by last account the US Embassy is going to La Fortuna to investigate which only means; “THE HAMMER” is coming down and hard
it has been considered that the biggest SLAP in the face to the US by CR was the Chinese Stadium
and let me remind you that tourism generates a big CHUNK of $$ to CR
a tourist was killed but it was a US tourist and a KID
the US Embassy’s take their orders from the Department of State
you have some explaining to do; LUCY, from “I love Lucy” (sorry CR)
ADD, SUBSTRACT, MULTIPLY and DIVIDE
[quote=”maravilla”]the stat is: 60% of WHAT IS CONSUMED IN THE US comes from Afhganistan. The other 40% of what is consumed comes from other opium producing countries. America doesn’t consume 60% of the total production amounts. see the difference?[/quote]
lets go back to basic math
90% of all heroin is produced in afghanistan
and 60% is consummend in the USA, that is what you posted (correct)
then the rest of the world consumes 40%
but we have a problem since the Neatherlands has more heroin JUNKIES than the USA by a population ratio of 10%
France has a bigger problem and Germany, England also
get your math and facts straight
the USA has not increased in hard addiction compared to the european countries
but wait!!
CR is about to match the drug addiction as the USA and with less people
4 million (1 million indocumented) against 360 million
while we keep tabs on incidents from the 1900’s, CR has NO WAY to know what the heck happend from 2010 to 2011 in any government department
woa!! NELLY
a 16 year old doing a STUPID thing is unheard off
wrong place, wrong time and with a wrong GUARD makes a lethal combination
11:00 am and you are a guard and you think you are rushed by 3 NINJAS
never heard the “stop, who is there” fron the guard
also, never heard the boy’s say anything to approach the guard
stupid guarantes a stupid outcome and you will have to live with it, in this case the guard is alive and paying for his actions
sad story but in a real world scenario
wrong again
do the math; if 90% of the WORLD heroin comes from Afghanistan
and you say; 60% is comsumed in the USA that would leave 40% for the rest of the world
Europe consumes 50% of the heroin produced in the world and the USA only 25% of the world production
the rest is partitioned around the GLOBE
still; lets’ stay on topic and $ laundering, where does that illegal drug $ go?? a piggy bank, a savings account, at the end of a SOFA
drug $ has reachead CR in a disproportionate way, time and time again you see catches of 30 tons of cacaine in a plane, truck at the borders
and where you have this amount of drugs you have the CASH to move it from country to country and the people to do it
crime in Limon; NO WAY
crime in San Jose; NOPE
crime in San Ramon; never see it
blind people don’t see but they can listen and hear and their brains are not blind
But some and Laura Chinchilla say; everything is COOL, we have it under control
you can hide but you cannot run from this problem
new term in CR; piedreros (stone users) meaning cocaine addicts that stole the water hose from my brothers in law house, a $15.00 item and another one that wanted to pull a bycicle threw 1″ steel bars at 11;00 AM on a saturday in front of maybe about 20 people
Houston “WE HAVE A PROBLEM”
WRONG
more than that
watch
http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/afghan-heroin-the-lost-war/
cheaper and more powerfull heroin is coming from Afghanistan
“when the homes in CR fall to the prices of the income of a CR worker then you will see a SWING.”
That is the question or maybe Laura should be one of the members in this forum
I mean Laura Chinchilla
got another question???
Life is so UNFAIR sometimes but it is still LIFE
Married for 26 years and then retired from the Military service
and then “HELLO” my wife wants a divorce, by LAW she was allowed to keep 40% of my monthly retirement check
and during all those years she worked and had a 401K pension but I was not allowed 1 penny of her retirement
this is not fair but it is [b]LEGAL[/b]
at the divorce proceedings’ even the Judge noticed the injustice of this law and when it came to partition the GOODS (property) and everything else he was clearly slanted on my side
that was 20 years ago and she is still collecting 40% every month
besides; I paid her child support for 12 years and paid for my son’s presents during Christmas, B-day, etc.
and NONE of this was TAX deductible
now on the bright side;
I have a bachelors degree, she does not
I paid off my house, she has not
I got a Job, she is umemployed
I have an occasional COLD, she has terminal CANCER
I retire from my 2’nd job in 23 months, she is still unemployedat the end it is what you make of yourself, you either swim or drown
I live with NO regrets because my kid still calls’ me “DAD” and he is 26 now
if you think you are down in the PIT”s, look again
if there is a big problem of drugs in Costa Rica there is also a problem with money laundering
bribery
blackmail
people (politicians) on the TAKE??
and if you need PROOF just read the newspapers of CR
how many EX-presidents
don’t kid me on this issue
I have visited CR since 1884 and my wife was born in San Jose in 1955 and lived there until 2002 but goes every year after 2002
Ask her if you don’t believe me
David;
there is no compliance when you die
just whatever is cheaper for my family to dispose of me body however they want to do it
they have the last say so at the end and not YOU or ME
