Millennial Couple Bikes Through ISIS Territory to Prove ‘Humans Are Kind’ and Gets Killed

I almost feel sorry for them, being so naive.
They must have believed Marie Harf saying ISIS just needed jobs.

I guess they got to celebrate diversity and meet new, interesting people.

And then they met ISIS.

Adult-children who feel free to construct fantasies, blind them to inconvenient realities.
To compensate, they idealize the targets of their misdirected and pathological caring.


(Excerpt)

Quote
"Evil is a make-believe concept we've invented to deal with the complexities of fellow humans."
 

A progressive young American couple was killed in an Islamic State-claimed terrorist attack last month while on a bike trip around the world.

Jay Austin and Lauren Geoghegan, who were both in their late 20s, quit their jobs in 2017 to embark on a trip around the world. Austin, a vegan, and Geoghegan, a vegetarian, decided that they're were wasting their lives working.

"I’ve grown tired of spending the best hours of my day in front of a glowing rectangle, of coloring the best years of my life in swaths of grey and beige,” Austin wrote on his blog before he quit. “I’ve missed too many sunsets while my back was turned. Too many thunderstorms went unwatched, too many gentle breezes unnoticed.”

The couple documented their year-long journey on social media until it came to a tragic and gruesome end in Tajikistan, a country with a known terrorist presence.

That is a BEAUTIFUL gif.

I agree someone needs to adjust the way you said.

It's always better when these things are filmed and placed on sites like leakedreality.com for others to enjoy.

"...to Prove ‘Humans Are Kind’.."  - Well they were partly right, they just didn't complete the thought correctly: '..to Prove ‘Humans Are Kind of F'in' Dangerous’ would have been correct, and they did prove that one up pretty well...
