How do they get you? Mexican carry...

Thread veer, cuz that's what we do here...

When Wife and I had car trouble and were broken down on the inside shoulder of I-45 1200 miles from home, with cars whizzing by at 80 MPH, it was a Mexican who barely spoke any English who stopped and helped get the car running again so we could limp it back (which was no small feat.)  When I told this story to my mom, she had a couple of stories of her own where a Mexican suddenly appeared out of nowhere just in time to save her from a stalker or whatever when she was young and working night shift at the hospital.  
I think guardian angels must look just like Mexicans.

From the Yakima Herald:
Quote
Hoyer told police he saw “Mexicans in the trees” outside his apartment complex “getting ready to jump out and attack him,” and said two more “Mexicans” went to a second neighbor’s apartment downstairs from his own, urging her to open Hoyer’s door so they could rob him.

"Mexicans in the trees" could be a song title.

And moar thread beer, cuz . . . why not?

Aside the from racial angle (as opposed to the racial angels of zxcvbob's post), what those two stories have in common is a felon in possession. We can haz more background checkz?  :police:

A plan is just a list of things that doesn't happen.

Medical imaging showed the intact bullet had skipped off the ball of his hip joint and plunged directly downward into his scrotal region, where it lodged. He suffered no apparent organ damage. It was one of two projectiles found in Hoyer’s body — the other bullet, he told police, was from from a previous gunshot wound.

Such a shame that so nice a story has no chance of being considered for a Darwin Award. =(

And that Taurus .45 cal revolver - please tell me it was a Judge.  But from the "showed the intact bullet" I fear it was a .454 Cassul.

stay safe.
If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

Sadly, the news report is that everything remained intact.

Looks like we've had somewhat similar experiences. I can't even count the number of times a Mexican has brought me food when I was hungry and just sitting at a table.

I think they live a lot closer to the edge of disaster than we do, and so recognize when someone is in trouble.  Stupid (comfortable) white people like me are oblivious most of the time.

Heh.  I haven't read that story in years.  Still makes me laugh.

The lesson, once again boys and girls, are the drugs are bad, Mmmmkay?
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.
