Story:
A young couple, he was 19 and she had just turned 18, were out on a date and taking a walk near some public tennis courts. In the midst of their tender teen moment, two gunmen approached them from behind and opened fire. Poor Juliet bolts straight forward, across a field, while ol' Romeo makes a break for a nearby treeline. Getting in to cover was obviously a good idea, but it was hardly the romantic choice. One gunman opened fire on the treeline while the other ran after the fleeing girlfriend. She held to her play to try and bolt in terror across an open field, calling all the while for her swarthy knight to come and save her.

Alas, he kept on running the other way. She took two shots from a 9mm in the back and pitched forward, faceplanting in the dirt. After launching a hail of gunfire at the trees and the fleeing boyfriend, the two gunmen met back up and dragged the girlfriend's body about 25 feet and flipped her face-up right next to the tennis courts. She was presumably dead at the time, though once again it is hard to know for sure. She was certainly dead when the police and news crews arrived a few minutes later. No indication as to why the killers took the trouble to move and display her body instead of just leaving it, but they did.

As for the boyfriend? Well, don't be too hard on him for leaving her to twist in the wind. He took four bullets-one to the head, one to the back, one to the right hand, and one in the ass, and still managed to crawl to a nearby hospital. Once there, he had the grace to send the coppers after his distressed damsel, but the ferryman had already come for her. Police were never able to ascertain whether the guy was the target, or if it was the girl, or if the whole thing was just shitty luck.

Ah, young romance down ol' Mexico way. Anyhow, enjoy the pics. The two fuzzy closeups were screen caps from the news. There's not really much to see in them, but I included them for completions' sake.

Just by the photos...she looked like trouble.

Being a guileful P*ssy Dangler will catch up with you and it can end like this.

Many girls like to play with fire.

It has always been so.

instead of bringing a box of chocolates on a date better take a gun with you for protection too

If you live in certain parts of the planet for sure. Better to have a gun and not need it than to need it and not have one.

Great storytelling technique- thanks!

"swarthy knight..."

That's what they get for being swarthy.

You win, that's the best translation and description ever on DR.
