Or maybe he did and in the end they dragged him down.

I'd rather be eaten by sharks than delivered to some rival gang by a corrupt jailer who'll do unspeakable things to me to send a message to my boss who'd have killed me for sinking his boat and losing his drugs anyway... 
I'm pretty certain gangs kill more people a month than sharks do yearly, so I'd take my chances with the sharks anyway

As I hear, they have some tough survival training in his country. Children are dropped off somewhere in the vast Dutch wilderness and must find food, shelter and the way home on their own. At the coast they also do the same by dropping them off with a small boat somewhere at sea. Those who don't find their way back must live in England for the rest of their lives. Didn't Sander say he was from the coast? He probably already ate sharks for breakfast before he went to school.

You forgot to mention that advanced training involves mountain climbing on The Vaalserberg.

That probably accounts for the low percentage of lawyers in the Netherlands - they've been eaten by the survivors of the shark training.

Vaalsberg? That's only a two hour foot march from where I was born. Guess where I had my first survival training. They have delicious little monkeys there that are easy to hunt. Wait...

Bottom line, don't mess with the Dutch 
That's why they say it ain't much if it ain't Dutch

Hmmm...I see a product here. Let me start a crowd-funding campaign -- maybe I can get the Columbian cartel to invest!

Yet the police were uninterested when I tried to report an attempted murder.

That's unkind - maybe they were just ravens.

I was wondering about that when I played God of War and there's a special move named Murder of Crows.
And so I looked up why it's called that.
Well, let's make this a bit educational as well.
