So sad

So sad to read of the shooting murder of two Australian brothers, and their American friend, in Mexico.

A surfing holiday. Just makes me so sad. One of the brothers was a doctor, the other a lacrosse champion living in America. I don’t know the history of their American friend. 😞

And all for the theft of a stupid car.

Paddle out today, in memory. 🌊 🏄‍♂️

It was a very sad story, my husband is a surfer and we were talking about this earlier today.

Yes, Delilah, so terrible sad. A waste of 3 good men. 🌊

From what I have read, the Mexican Drug Cartel was involved, yes, a sad story

They reckon no, to that 1984Toy. At least that’s what the news here is saying. Whatever the case, it’s incredibly sad.

I think this is the first time I’ve bumped into you 1984Toy. Hope you’re travelling well.

It's a horrible and sad story. It sounds like they might have tried to resist getting their car stolen, but it's such a loss.

I admit I’m getting old but the world seems to be getting less safe week after week. Lives lost is tragic anytime but lives lost over something like tyres is just next level sad.

I've been to Baja California, some very peaceful people down there except when news like this comes out. It's a one off done by very stupid young men and a woman with a gun in a robbery gone wrong. I do believe in nonviolence and absolutely hate guns, especially handguns.
