Kids? They were 22 and 23. Exactly how do you propose we stop them from doing anything?
By telling them they’re idiots and don’t call for money in two days when you’re broke.

Too late for that. There was a book and a movie glorifying the “Into the Wild” kid that basically committed slow-mo suicide.
Yeah, but the Into the Wild Guy was legit. He may have been crazy but he wasn’t vlogging. He set off on his adventure years before the internet. Theses kids, on the other hand, wanted to finance a permanent vacation from bagging at Publix from travel blogging.
She was a pharmacy tech. Who the hell cares what others do? She didn’t die because she was living the van life. She died because she had an abusive boyfriend. Women die at the hands of murderous boyfriends and husbands every day, no matter their job, lifestyle, of place of residence.
Most of this may be true. Also, none of this may be true. What is indisputable is that the career goal of becoming a travel blogger is a recipe for poverty tinged with privilege.
So many clueless people on this thread. Not indisputable at all. Many writers are on the road. They blog and do other work like copyediting. Some people work for a bit, then travel. I don’t know if you mean privilege based on just race and/or socioeconomic status. While I agree that it can be easier to travel when white, there are more and more of people of color who are travel blogging and leading nomadic lives. Check out blackpacking podcast to hear some stories.
At the beginning of the body cam video, she says she's a dietician.
wait - was Gabby a dietician, a bagger at Publix, or a pharmacy technician?

I assume not, based off the shabby truck they had, lack of college education, and appearance of them both.
WTAF? You are a class A jerk.
First PP appears to be disparaging the victim’s parents as well.

I think we heard that Brian was actually OCD though?
Anyway, I am irritated by mental illness accusations going at Gabby. She might have had anxiety and for good reason.![]()
I saw the beginning part of that interview. Really weird. Even D. Phil was thrown off by some of the dad’s answers and things he said.

Keep thinking your bubble will save you from harm. Fool
They own a small business, and could actually be quite successful and wealthy in a millionaire next door way.
"The Laundries own Juicer Services, a company started in 2017 that sells and services commercial juicing equipment." They run the business out of their house.

I don’t think that’s true. As someone who knows Sarasota County quite well, North Port is about as middle class as you can get.
LOL DCUMer sleuths trying to claim everyone is Millionaire Next Door.

He has no other citizenship, and lack of extradition treaty just means extra hoops to jump through, not that the other country will categorically refuse. Laundrie is not Edward Snowden or a Falun Gong supporter or a spy or someone who has committed a crime with political overtones where another country might be eager to get their hands on him themselves as a trophy, or reluctant to hand him over. He's a nutcase who killed his girlfriend. Russia, China, etc. don't exactly want such people wandering their streets, either. And countries like Namibia and the Maldives are not going to antagonize the US by harboring a murderous lunatic that they have no use or desire for, either.
Israel did. After a guy murdered his friend in the DC area.
