Anyone going to the DR

Yep, is the death toll up to 6 now? And several survivors who got really ill verified that there was bleach and other chemicals in the drinks. One lady they interviewed on the NY Post said her mouth and throat were severely burned by a caustic after just one sip of a Coke. What kind of investigation is being conducted on this right now?

It seems like there may be a disgruntled resort employee on the loose just putting shit in the beverages.
 
I HAD considered it. A buddy, a retired VN navy vet did and he loved it. Havent talked with him in a few years, so apparently its changed. Hope they didnt get him as well.

It would never even cross my mind to go to the Dominican Republic. Never.
Who could we send on a fact-finding mission?
My oldest daughter is there as we speak.

I asked her if she thought it was a good idea and if she knew about the goings on there. She is not at all concerned.

“Ok then. Be careful”.
 
Has anyone checked to see how many American tourists die in sh!&holes like DR every year to make sure this is not a normal death rate... that is suddenly a Media conspiracy’s theory?

My guess is that a few Americans a year die down there of accidents, alcohol poisoning, bad or risky behavior simply at a level of background noise.

But now families are all screaming on social media and the press is running with it and it looks like a murder conspiracy. Maybe it is. Maybe one or two are... but have to understand the long term numbers to know if there is a there... there.

Same as with those two state senators who recently died. Arkansas and OK. Set the tin foil hats all a Twitter... but one was killed by former aide. One... unknown. And how many former state legislators die every day? Probably some... because with 50 states which lol have a house and senate... that’s. Lot of current and former legislators to die of non-nefarious causes at a steady background rate. So no, I don’t think they were Arkancided because someone ordered documents unsealed the week before and Q was promising a wave of Arkancides or something silly.

I’ll believe DR is something when I see better stats on long term survival from vacations in shitholes.

It’s why I go to safe places... Lille Iceland and Labrador and battlefields with live eod on them...

The wife and I have a week booked in Punta Cana after Christmas this year for our 10yr anniversary. We’re looking at other places right now but my wife is way more worried than me.
 
Hi,

So slightly over 3.5 million USA citizens visit the DR each year.
This would not even be in the news if it were not for the baseball player that got shot.
A cursory glimpse of the people that have died could easily show they were not in the great health the family members keep claiming.
Heart Attacks happen when you mix alcohol and heat/sun with being overweight/out of shape....That is just the way it is.

Sincerely,
Theis
 
You're talking about deaths in an entire country over several months. That's literally a couple of hours on a weekend in Chicago, where I'd be less likely to visit. Big Papi had a hit put on him for banging a drug dealer's woman. If it's an intentional murder in the DR, there's always emotions behind it and it's personal.
