Cancer patient is slain while trying to rob boat to pay for medical expenses?

Don't Germans have state health care?

Maybe he had overstayed his visa and couldn't afford the fine at immigration to go back to Germany.

This story is funny but sad for obvious reasons, however I know a Thai gild well who lives in UK

her view is Thailand is dangerous, she wont go out walking after 8.00pm also dressing down no make up etc.

Says 50% of cab drivers are bad she had some horrendous tales, when you hear it from a Thai it makes you think I have never had a problem there but it makes you think.
