American Couple Believing 'Evil Is A Make-Believe Concept' Bike Through ISIS Territory. End up Dead

Fun fact: More Americans get struck by lightning, than get killed by ISIS.


BRAIN DEAD TRANSLATION: About 400 people get hit by lightning in the USA every year, so that makes traveling unprotected in Tajikistan on 13 pounds of metal "safe."

The lightest steel bikes (road) weigh in at around 20 lbs. You can get it down to around 15 lbs, but then you have to make the frame out of carbon fiber.

Regular cyclocross or mountain bikes (probably what was used) generally run around 25 to 30 lbs.

Huffy bicycles that you buy in Wal Mart are around 45 to 60 lbs.

I know all this because I've been an avid cyclist since '86.

Once again the Left outdo The Onion.


Nature's way of cleaning the gene pool. Brain dead vegan liberals who put their lives on the line to test their leftist theories finally found out the hard way, but at least they spent the last year of their lives really enjoying things seeing the world.

Where does it say they were "Liberals"?




aaaaaand CUE crickets.

We've tried to warn people how dangerous the world is, you lefties say we make it up. I guess we don't.

I know how danerous the world is. You haven’t warned me about shit. At the time, Tajikistan had the lowest travel concern rating from the State Department. It’s not like they peddled through some ISIS camp in Syria offering free hugs.

If you ride a bicycle for transportation and are vegan, to most conservatives, that qualifies the person as a "liberal" according to their short sighted views.
 
Oh look. Here's another lifeless bag who found a story of a tragic murder and the first thing he thinks is "hey! I can drag their corpses to USMB and score points for Numero Uno!!" :eusa_dance:

Pathetic shit. Well I guess it's good to know who the sociopaths are.

Now that you've been discovered --- what in the wide world of Blue Fuck does this story have to do with "Democrats"? Or with any "politics"?

Now. One last thing.

It's FEWER voters, not "less" voters. :banghead:

Learn to English.

Yet you support antifa.....

This is waaaay too easy but...............

---- Link?


Guess we'll see that klown "LATER".....




Alternate response:
Yet you support partisan hackery built on the bodies of the dead.

Come on...we know you love you some antifa.

You can't even speak English, let alone make a salient point.

I see you couldnt bring yourself to denounce your beloved antifa.

I see you couldn't find a way to demonstrate you didn't just pull that out of your ass.
What a surprise that is.

These must be the False Dichotomists Aristotle warned us about. :dunno:

I see the wag ran back to his post and edited out the word "Liberals". His way of running away and hiding behind a bush Sean Spicer style. The wimp.
 
Incidentally this story appears to be based entirely on "a grainy video" shot by entities claiming to be DAESH. Not that there's anything wrong with biased unreliable sources but it does remind me of those wags around here who insist that "Hitler was a socialist because he said so and Hitler would never lie".
 
Experts on the region, however, reject the idea that the Americans were naive. “Central Asia generally is fairly safe,” said Paul Stronski, a senior fellow in the Russia and Eurasia program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. “This is a region where the countries are very strong security and police states, so we have not seen the same sorts of large-scale terrorist attacks” as in other regions of the world. Tajikistan is one of five neighboring former Soviet republics — the others are Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Turkmenistan.

Thanks. I know all that. I have a professional Trek off-road bike. carbon fiber frame, about 23 pounds. About 13 pounds of it are metal.

First started on a Univega Arrowpace SIS, then went to a Univega Nuevotech 450 aluminum, and then found out about Trek. One of the reasons I like Trek so much is not only do they make an outstanding bike, but they also make them here in the USA. Granted, many of the components on the bikes come from other places, but the frames are built here in the USA and their bikes are assembled here as well.

After the Nuevotech 450, I switched to a Trek 2100 carbon fiber/aluminum frame, then upgraded to a 5200 carbon fiber frame. Only problem is, when Trek first came out with their carbon fiber frame, the glue they used for the aluminum bottom bracket wasn't that great, and their frames kept cracking about 1 inch above the bottom bracket. Went through 2 5200 frames, and when the second one cracked, the bike shop offered me a Lemond Zurich steel frame with Columbus 883 tubing and Campagnolo gruppo. Been riding the Lemond since '97, and I still ride it. Only now, it has been upgraded to a Campagnolo Chorus ergo power gruppo, Mavic Cosmic aero rims, Speedplay pedals, Modolo ergo handlebars and a Selle Italia titanium seat.

To tell the truth? I think that the Columbus steel frame rides better than carbon fiber.

No actually that's exactly what it's like. But it didn't have to be Syria, the point was proven. Culture matters, some are better than others, the West is the best.

I uh, don't think the federal gummint is journalism. If they had a source, they'd link it.

And I'm not clicking WaPo. They want money.

Millennial Couple Bikes Near ISIS Terrori

The couple documented their year-long journey on Instagram and on a joint blog. As The New York Times put it, they shared "the openheartedness they wanted to embody and the acts of kindness reciprocated by strangers."



“You read the papers and you’re led to believe that the world is a big, scary place," Austin wrote.


“People, the narrative goes, are not to be trusted. People are bad. People are evil."

“I don’t buy it," he continued. "Evil is a make-believe concept we’ve invented to deal with the complexities of fellow humans holding values and beliefs and perspectives different than our own... By and large, humans are kind. Self-interested sometimes, myopic sometimes, but kind. Generous and wonderful and kind.”


However, Austin and Geoghegan's dream trip came to a tragic and gruesome end when they got to Tajikistan, a weak state with a known terrorist threat that shares a border with Afghanistan, where ISIS and other terrorist groups are highly active. They were riding their bikes through the country on July 29 when a car rammed them, according to CBS News. Five men got out of the car and stabbed the couple to death along with two other cyclists, one from Switzerland and the other from the Netherlands.


Two days later, ISIS released a video showing the same men sitting in front of the group's black flag. They looked at the camera and vowed to kill "disbelievers," according to The New York Times.

DUH.

THIRD thread on this now?

Gracie I'm disappointed in you, getting through this entire post without using the word "whippersnapper" or the phrase "these kids today"...

4th
And for the record...I didn't see the other threads.
 
Stupid is as stupid does,,,,,,,
A biking vacation in Afghanistan, proof positive that they were idiots
