If I had I might have been convinced I saw a gringo with a black eye. I'm not smart. I'm not way too smart for most anything. I'm not trying to use this board as a playpen for my weird agenda and those who have witnessed my posts/posture on the board for the last few years know all about that. You're picking on the wrong old foggies here hombres. Keep it up. Escalate this until we just start to wonder "what ever happened to those nasty, argumentative children?"


There is nothing wrong with the video .... she should check out her computer ... it ran fine on mine and many others.

The guy took the cops gun, and didn't expect to get his butt kicked. That guy is lucky to be alive. In the States that guy would have gotten two taps to the chest and one to the head.

The whole story is laid-out here:

I could be wrong here but I don't think anyone here doubts that he was beaten to death by the police. I think people are casting doubt on whether he was just an innocent guy who the police just randomly snatched and beaten.

he was from phx area.


a contractor. it has been covered all over the news here. he comes across as pretty credible i think.

he says he is not going back. can't say as i blame him.

mexico has a lot of problems to fix internally if they want to keep people returning or even coming the 1st time.

most American pilots shudder at the thought of taking their planes to mexico. all based on 50 years of horror stories.

Over and over again I see people blaming the victim .

I think by blaming the victim we feel safer,

Because, lord knows we are pristine and free of impurities :lol:

And it makes us feel safer, somehow ...
