Police probe possibility that the friends took a wrong turn while walking to a 24-hour diner for an early morning breakfast

'We just see a white dude laid out. There's blood everywhere': police release transcript of witness's 911 call

The horrific final moments of the two Brits gunned down in a Florida ghetto have been described by a key witness. In graphic testimony, the witness told how he saw James Cooper and James Kouzaris stumble away from the gunman before they collapsed and died on a run-down estate in Newtown, Sarasota.

The witness, who cannot be named for fear of revenge attacks, said he heard five shots ring out before peering out of the window to see what had happened.

Describing the moment he saw Mr Cooper, the witness told the Sun: 'I saw

Yes, this is horrific but not untypical. People need to be aware of their circumstances. These Brits were in a very dangerous situation and they were not aware of it or were very foolish. The perps should in this case face the death penality. Will they? I doubt it. At the very least they should never get out of prison.

I briefly lived in Sarasota in the 80s, even then it was well known to never venture into Newtown.

The authorities and the law is too soft on those who do commit gun crimes. Someone who is arrested for shooting at cars should not be out on bail..they should be locked up waiting for a trial.

Just never call it a Hate Crime.

Only white men can do those.

Also, many do not understand the deep naivety that resides in so many of the Euros.

"...Captain Paul Sutton admitted that detectives had previously ignored ‘lifestyle differences’ between Britons and Americans and assumed the tourists would never have dreamed of trying to get around on foot..."

It has come to this. Americans have been sued into acceptance of completely unacceptable behavior to the point where we just "know" not to wander a few blocks from the few viable destinations remaining in our Democrat-run cities.

The POS perp in this case was 16. He had just been released from jail from what I gather. Regardless of that, he cannot be wiped out, legally, as he is not 18.

Me, I would just turn him loose on my gun range. Guarantee he never commits another crime, at least, not in this dimension.

Lifestyle differences. Yeah, I guess they exist. Were I in charge here, these no go ghettos would become bombing ranges for practice ark light style B52 strikes. For the really large ones, like the whole of Detroit, I would consider using them for above ground nuke armed cruise missile practice.

Yeah, they brought it on themselves. Those fools thought they were in a civilized Western country. LOL.

Years ago, just after Florida enacted its concealed carry law, there was a rise in robberies of tourists driving rented cars. I think the problem was serious enough that the rental car companies stopped putting obvious markings on their cars.

The theory was that armed robbers knew that locals might be armed but that tourists were invariably legally disarmed. Perhaps this is a similar case where the perpetrator knew that two British tourists would be disarmed.

Sounds like a market opportunity in Florida:

“Rent-a-Gat”
Personal weapons for the savvy Florida tourist
Our motto: “When seconds count, the police are only minutes away.”

They probably knew they were tourists because there was no other reason for whites to be there. I see how our cities in the northeast gloss over their crime stats, and it recklessly endangers people who don’t know better. You would think Newark, NJ is a great place to visit at all hours of the night in all neighborhoods; in fact a very small part of the city is like that.

This is America, obama style. Shooting white people is a DOJ approved sport. The perp may get off by pleading the diss defense--those white boys they dissed him by walking on his turf. Eric Holder would approve heartily.

Anyway, the fact is that in any large city for the last, oh, forty years, there are places you don't go if you are white. Like it or not, just a plain fact of life, and it isn't going to go away with the current racist regime in power.

Unfortunately there are a lot of these punks that have learned their social skills on Nintendo murder simulators. If you want to wander around the streets in Florida at 2:00 AM you had better be packing. A St. Pete cop was killed a few weeks ago by a 16 year old. Recently a jogger in Tampa dropped a gangsta wannabe with his .45 Glock. Right now it looks like the bad guys are winning. Be safe out there.

If your British guests are from rural English villages - you should caution them to:

#1 Stay in brand-name hotels and never pay cash in advance without a receipt.

#2 Use a buddy-system and keep the cell phone charged.

#3 Lock all rooms’ and car doors.

#4 Don’t walk on deserted streets during daylight or after dark.

#5 Dress casual, but avoid red & blue.
