Here's one - a tragic example of not using good judgement, putting yourself in a dangerous situation, and your family forever feeling the consequence of your bad decision.

The US State Dept has warned people not to travel in this area, the news is filled day after day about the dangers of the border towns, etc. You'd have to be blind, deaf and dumb to be unaware of the dangers that this couple took on.
So, what do they do? They go sight seeing in waters infested with pirates caught up in the drug wars.
I will not blame this couple, they were victims, not deserving to be attacked, and unfortunately, be killed. BUT, for Christ's sake, what were they thinking??? And, it's real easy to say, don't blame the victim, but who cares - the guy is dead and his wife is a widow and his parent's lost a son. And I know if it were my son who had been killed, while I was grieving, at the same time, I'd be asking, "What the hell was he thinking??"
Don't ask for trouble! Don't put yourself in harm's way! Use good judgement! Try to stay out of dangerous situation and places. If your gut tells you something aint kosher, leave the situation.
Just because noone should be victimized doesn't mean they won't. Bad things happen to innocent people all the time.
Are any of y'all going to go travel to Juarez any time soon? It's a great place to get pottery, and damnit, I'm not involved in drugs, I should have the right to go shop in Juarez if I want to. I shouldn't be victimized and possibly get caught up in a gun fight on the streets - so do I go? I don't think so.
