I am so sorry for their families. They didn't need to die. As many have said, there have been sufficient warnings to keep folks away from the area. Call it Darwinism, niavete, or just plain stupidity. They shouldn't have been there unless they had a quad .50 cal on the bow.

Call me a pussy, but you will not find me taking my family to Mexico, to Haiti, Jamaica, on a boat trip off the east coast of Africa, hiking along the Iraq/Iran border, or anywhere else where the rule of law doesn't keep criminals somewhat in check.

Being aware of your surroundings protects you only so much. I just think these folks were plainly unaware of the danger, and hopelessly arrogant.

GoHarley gets a star from me for his call on the events.
