Let me tell you about a guy I once knew in Sosua. Many moons ago, he was an expat, he had been living with a girl, an ex or not so ex working girl as I believe (what others are there available in Sosua right). He left her, she vowed to kill him if she saw him with another girl. Obviously he met another girl. Several months down the line this guy was dragged into a van at the top end of Pedro Clisante, and they sped down the Main Street, to make get away. During the space of a minute or so he was told that they were going to kill him because he had offended the girl, his ex. He managed to somehow jump out of the van at about 20 miles per hour as they headed in the direction of Cab, he made his get away, found sanctuary for the night and had a friend take him to the airport the next day where he waited on standby to get out of there. He had no reservations that these guys were going to kill him.
And so not everyone is a murderer and finds murder easy, this girl waited a few months until this particular guy was in town to do what she had promised. Hope that makes more sense now.
