    Killer on the beach

    Am I the only one who thinks this photo is a bit strange.
    Why are these guys openly following him?
    Why do they think they are safe?
    Do they already know they are not the targets?

    Fiscal nomad it's legal.

      Whoever took that photo was quite silly. Personally I would have turned and run.

      Or maybe I would have asked if he would pose with the kids for a picture. I bet the papers would pay a lot for that.

        I agree with OP. When I saw the picture my first thoughts were why the people in the background were just hanging around ... however maybe he hadn't started firing.

          Because before the bullets fly people don't understand or appreciate the threat. It is so surreal seeing a bloke on the beach with a machine gun your instinct is to say WTF and just stare.

            Might I ask just how often you have experienced that particular phenomenon??

              Maybe they are trying to warn people ahead of the killer that he is on his way

                Makes sense. You see a guy slowly walking with a machine gun on a beach, you're going to look, stare & keep your distance. You're not likely to leg it, until he does something (or doesn't). You may even be tempted to go up and talk to him.

                Happened to me once. Makes you stop and think when someone points a machine gun at you. No-one got killed.

                    Keeping your distance hardly seems compatible with going up and talking to him though does it? You haven't really thought this through have you?
