Louisville and Die

There is an old expression, "see Rome and die". Some attribute the quote to Goethe, but some say he actually referenced Naples. In any event, one should not actually have to lay down his or her life to attend a cultural event anywhere. A tourist from Canada decided to take in one of the world's greatest races. Scott Hunter of Toronto should have left Louisville with no more than a hangover from mint juleps, but instead was callously murdered by dregs of society. This tragedy has not been widely publicized, but if it were, it might discourage people from attending future Derbys, or even visiting Louisville.
