Put him on trial. Sentence him to labor of Sisyphus.

The nationality of the tourist is not mentioned... or do I have to read the article?

[null and void]

[BenLurkin]

I don’t think they caught him yet.

He must be a Brit. The reason they blurred his face out is so you couldn’t see his teeth. :)

Why would you not want to read the article? That's why they are posted.........

If nobody such as you doesn't want to read the articles, what is the purpose of posting them. And if everyone chose not to post articles because folks such as you are too lazy to read them, then what is the purpose of this website/

I live in Wyoming, and often hike in mountains where you would swear you are the only soul around for miles. One of those areas I’ve been in is the southern Wind River Range. Some years ago a couple guys walked up the backside of a mountain; the front is a 1000’ almost sheer drop. The started chucking rocks over the edge. One of them stepped forward far enough to look down - just in time to see a rock he dropped hit the helmet of a climber several hundred feet down, killing him instantly.

There is an old tradition here on Free Republic to comment on articles we haven't read. It makes us feel like jackasses and permits bewildering conversations. ;-D

If the Spanish Civil Guard and Courts want to stop this behavior, these idiots would be cleaning toilets in Spanish jails at a $1 a day until the fine is paid.

The word would get around.

A three sentence story repeated over and over to fill up a page, apparently. Not criticizing you, BenLurkin, just the idiot who wrote the story.

The Death of Pete Absolon - really tragic story.

[Professional Engineer]

You can say that again.

[BenLurkin]

Ah, yes, well...there is a definite issue with the excerpting for which only I can be considered responsible.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Were the necessary warning signs posted? If not, he can get off.

[Navy Patriot]

That is Well Worth reading.

Thank you.
