The Kansas teenager was on the trip with 40 other students in the Central American nation, which is famed for its wildlife, rain forests and lava-spewing volcanoes.

Sixteen-year-old Justin Johnston was shot in the chest in the early hours of Thursday as he tried to sneak back into his room, breaking a night curfew on a school trip.

Bad idea.

National Geographic has nice videos of Costa Rica.

It’s far safer than taking kids there.

The curfew was there for a reason. Someone failed to get the seriousness of those reasons across to at least one of these teens. Not an easy job, I’m sure.

Not a job I’d ever want to do.

In Central America, Costa Rica is the best of the alternatives, but the whole world is an increasingly dangerous place. Try Detroit, for example. Or, the heavily Moslem city of Malmo, Sweden - even the police are scared there.

Uh-oh. Unfortunately, young man, you weren’t in Kansas anymore.

“It appears the hotel guard thought the guest was a thief,” police said,

“and here in Costa Rica, it is our custom for private security guards to shoot suspected thieves on sight.”
