A 24-year-old tourist from Delaware was killed in Puerto Rico over the weekend after allegedly buying drugs in a coastal shantytown, authorities said.
Tariq Loat and a friend, James Jackson, were attacked in La Perla on Saturday following the alleged drug deal when they tried to take photographs, despite being told not to, according to Police Commissioner Antonio López Figueroa.
The duo were beaten with an exercise weight, a piece of wood and a deep fryer, authorities said.
Jackson managed to flee and was later hospitalized, authorities said.
What is with these young people that go abroad and think they can do this shit. These were street rules. What, were they a coupe of college pip squeaks?
This is what happens when entitled and naive people who have been pampered and protected their whole lives go out into the real world. They find out the hard way that they really aren’t all that special.
