All my life I have told my kids and their friends, NEVER LEAVE YOUR BUDDIES ALONE.
If they get drunk and do not want to leave, put their arse in a cab with you.
How many times I shuffled back through dark ally's in the Far East alone, but that was a different time

With the number of post you have doubt you ever leave the basement much less go to Spain.

Haven’t been to Spain but sitting in Rome right now. Been to Milan, Bologna, Florence, Siena, Lucca and Rome on this trip and it doesn’t feel different or dangerous and doesn’t feel changed from 9 years ago.

Didn’t think so about London or Paris either but Paris metro is super sketchy and you could get robbed.

I’ve also never been out clubbing which might be a super different scene over here admittedly.

I do agree that I would have to really trust my kids to do this trip on their own until they are out of my house

Stockholm leads EU in sharp crime increases in the last decade but is getting better from its peak where they saw 3x the gun violence compared to rest of EU. Don't think many would know or guess that but Sweden is having all kinds of issues in their cities with gangs. Brussels is #2. Berlin is also at a 15 year high for violent crime. Marseille is next so don't go there it is tops in France by a lot.

From the article.

I’d think it would be pretty cold to swim right now? If not, I could see him going for a dip with a girl, removing his phone stuff into a pile beforehand. Bum walks through the following morning and finds it. This is referencing the previous post about it being a drowning. The article does mention the nightclub is on the water.

Yeah, Barcelona high's right now are in the 50's and lows in the 40's.

Of the 21,808 people arrested in Barcelona last year, 4,650 were Spanish and 17,158 were foreigners. This means that 79% of those arrested in the city are illegal immigrants.

Some updates overnight out of Spain, where the search for missing University of Alabama student Jimmy Gracey continues

Searches by land, boat and aerial drone have so far turned up no signs of Gracey’s whereabouts, according to the Spanish newspaper El Periodico.

They did, however, reportedly find his wallet in the water.

We are seeing police currently searching the Mediterranean waterfront.

More soon.

There are consequences for grown men wearing white tees.

Drowned in the Mediterranean is most likely answer here

Apparently left with a woman with dark hair. Said to be American based on those who heard her speak. But he left with a woman at 3:00AM. Cell phone found with someone else and wallet found in water. Wonder why person found with cell phone kept it instead of turning it over to authorities?That's why you stay together as a group. I said there was more to the story than meets the eye.

He looks like a big kid who could handle himself if he got jumped. Everybody keeps speculating that he drowned. Has it been said in the media that he could not swim? It’s just strange that he would walk off with some chick, go for a late night swim and die that way.

Drunk people gone missing and alone have a surprising tendency to find bodies of water.

Barcelona is an absolute shithole. Probably my least favorite city in Europe.
