Damn. That's horrible.

More reason to hate Venezuela. I don't know how anyone with any amount of money can live in constant fear over there and in much of South America. Just terrible.

Wow. That's horrible.

And FYI, Hombre = Man, Hermano = Brother.

[Clapp]

Geez that's terrible. Hopefully Henry will be alright.

Condolences to the Charlie White family.

[Quinn]

Wow, that awful.
