i think it's a bit absurd how the nyt calls the criminal "mr." "the asshole" would be more appropriate.

but fuck, poor woman-- this is sad, horrible, yet slightly funny because of the ridiculousness of it-- what some people would call an "ironic" ending to this trip. of course "funny" only from a safe & detached distance. i don't want to think about it and feel sad.

lesson to peaceniks: use your brains, and pack a pistol.

What the fuck.

well, here we got quite a big coverage of the story. For once, family and friends were intelligent enough to try and pass on her message and her "joy for life" rather than building up a sort of tv-drama.
And I bet many of the "Hyena-journalists" who interviewed them were a bit disappointed by this.
R.I.P.
she probably took too big a risk, anyway..

you can't fix crazy (or stupid).

this is why there will never be world peace and also why you should never hitchhike.

the story is sick, but sadly, not all that shocking.

she seemed pretty naive in her total trust of strangers.

But isn't that the idea of hitchiking?

floatingslowly 04.22.2008 12:28 PM

don't ask me.

I'm not stupid enough to try.

if I were to guess, I would say the idea of hitchhiking is to get somewhere other than where you are with a minimum of walking and / or raping.

ironically, even though she didn't complete her journey her murder has probably made a much greater success of her work

hitchhiking in ame4ica is dangerous enough but to do so in such a freaky country? shit. in wedding dresses? fucking horrible.

In lighter hitch-hiker news, there was a chap who was going to hitch-hike all the way from the South-West of England to India in the name of peace, relying upon the kindness of people along his way. He got so far as France and realised he couldn't speak the language, and had to turn back and give up. Utter spacker.
