Two points:
1. I was in Juan Dolio this afternoon, and even Dominicans are nervous about the violence that is occurring in Boca Chica right now. I've never been a fan of the place, but to hear locals (men and women) saying that they won't go near there is telling.
2. Dislike it all you want, but there is something more to this story involving the Canadian tourist women, than is being reported. None of the locals I have spoken to have heard of the incident (word travels fast), and I do have to agree with Southern that it is kind of odd that the administrator/manager of an aparta/hotel would jeopardize his job for ripping off a few dollars, and some cheap thrills. The guy is 29 years old with a good job. Why would he jeopardize that? To chase around a 50 and 44 year old? While one was supposedly being attacked, where was the other? Like I said, dislike it all you want, but something isn't right with the story. Wouldn't be the first time.
