[-Slim-]

Dont know if youve seen the news but its been horrible, with about 6 dead, and up to 20 hostages taken yesterday in the afternoon.....

Holy CHIT!

Slim,

Where in Costa Rica was this? Thanks

 

[JudgeWapner]

The last place I would expect something like this would be in Monte Verde.

spread, monteverde.....

couple hours ago, police stormed in, one dead cop, apparently was able to catch one robber....the other jackass is locked in a room with apparently 5 more hostages.....

 

[HacheMan]

That's why you let them take the freakin money and get out of there, then go after them..........WITH A HELICOPTER. If a helicopter's not available, then oh well, they'll be caught sooner or late. I don't believe in police creating high speed chases endangering the innocent. A cop just killed a lady here in my town trying to play hero chasing down a car........

 

[-Slim-]

whole thing shouldve never happened.....

if they had a horrible time storming in, why in the world did the other two decide to go in and make it worse for themselves....... woulda been 100 times easier to attempt an escape then...

Slim,

How far away from san Jose is that?

 

[-Slim-]

hmmm, 2 plus hours by car.

 

[WHALE]

Well, now CR has a lot of rich people living down there, and things like that are to be expected sadly.:sad3:

 

[JudgeWapner]

Don't think there is much big money in Monte Verde.

 

[-Slim-]

Its over.

9 Dead. 3 Robbers, 5 people, 1 cop.

The last robber gave up yesterday.....
