“He always thought life was much more exciting in Venezuela,”

He got that right.

I couldn’t get more than about three paragraphs into this dime store novel. One of our local papers has a writer who churns out tripe like this. His name is Andrew Dys, but we just call him Dystopian.

Jeb and Rubio might be okay with it also.

Not much sympathy here for spoiled, tax-dodgning ex-pats.

If Joe-6-Pack in Peoria got knifed in a home invasion by two illegals he’d rate three lines in the local fishwrap.

You should not be where you don’t belong. Being the gringo foreigner when times get rough makes you a target or a scapegoat, regardless of how nice everyone is the rest of the time.

I am with you. If you willingly vacate our country, then Buh Bye.
Most of all IF you leave to go to a ME country and try to join a terrorist group then we should not let you back in.

I'm not that moved by this story....sounds like two people ditched their own countries for the "excitement" of a dangerous existence and yet now belly ache about the violence...

expats should learn to just bare their burdens quietly....

and the Clintoon relationship really settled it for me...

Good story. I’m guessing that John Pate somehow avoided the draft and military service. Had he served, he might have developed the necessary radar to sense danger, be prepared and sidestep the killers with the knives.
