An Italian artist decided to hitchhike from Milan to Lebanon, dressed as a bride in order to promote peace. This news story reports on how she was murdered in Turkey, her naked body concealed in some bushes. This is the money quote....
"She had said she wanted to show that she could put her trust in the kindness of local people."
There are times I wish everyone would get a job in law enforcement for a few years. It really pushes home the concept that we are all killer apes, and the thin veneer of civilization is very thin indeed.

Sad,
It does kind of remind me of that poor fool that thought all bears were of the "Teddy" variety.
They just refuse to see reality the way it is.
P.S. I know the bear had an excuse, the rose colored sunglasses these people wear are the problem.

I thought the money quote was the one from the victim's sister, who said her sister was trying to prove that you could trust strangers, but that some people aren't deserving of that trust.

I'm sorry this woman is dead, but I can't work up too much sympathy for someone who goes so far out of her way to get into trouble.
