    On Day 319 of a young American couple’s around-the-world biking journey, a Kazakh man stopped his truck and gave them ice cream. On Day 359, 2 girls met them at the top of a Kyrgyzstan pass with a bouquet of flowers. On Day 369, they were spotted by ISIS.https://nyti.ms/2ORAoE1

        I’m sorry but this was a really selfish plan on dude’s part. He got his girlfriend killed with his entitled fantasy version of humanity. Women, please don’t fall for men who endanger your life because they think they know better than your own common sense should dictate.

        This 1000% percent. Dude was a fool who let his ego get in the way of reality. Let's travel through a bunch of poor crappy countries what could go wrong? ISIS apparently. I'm a radical liberal but I don't ignore cultures nor reality. This isn't the 60s they don't want our tourism

        Two young Americans had a dream - embark on an exhilarating, difficult, risky ride. They knew it was possible their voyage of a lifetime would end badly, but they endured & enjoyed. Ultimately, risk won & they died, killed because they were not Islamic. America has many enemies.

        This is a link to a full article on the killing of the couple by ISIS: https://www.google.es/amp/s/globalnews.ca/news/4375584/us-couple-killed-by-isis/amp/ …. And this is the couple's blog with a last entry on July 11: http://www.simplycycling.org . They should have not gone to dangerous parts of the world. RIP. :-(

        I’m sorry they were run over but what the actual fuck were they doing there? There’s literally the whole rest of the world to ride your bike thru except maybe NKorea or Somalia. I’m confused.

        17 dreams crushed on what should have been just another day in high school. 59 dreams crushed at a music concert. No one was cycling through ISIS territory. Now THAT'S frightening. #GunControlNow #WakeUpAmerica

        Many times it's so annoying that we who believe in equality, co-existence are nothing but a bunch of idiots. The victims were not asking for UN funds or support. I'm sure most of the kins of the ISIS militants are feeding on charity in the relief camps.
