Wonder what Perry is doing about it. Usually I would say the president; but I'm curious what the "boy who would be king" has to say.
There is no way anyone can say if they were Americans that attacked him or not till someone is caught.
T-Hawk, what?? Were you educated in a public school?
That's not the st louis arch, thats the Arch of triumph in NYC and those are bloombergs soldiers who were hired to patrol the city to find people eating food with transfat.
Wait.....there's Nutella in the Coleman Young building?
Worse yet.......There's a Coleman Young building?
Next thing you'll find out is that scumbag mayor got let out of the hokey in Manistee.........
Oh yes... the county building in Detroit is the Coleman A. Young buidling. We have ways of celebrating criminals... the McNamara terminal at Metro Airport, and the John Dingell VA Medical Center. We've learned well from Chicago, eh?
I didn't see anywhere in the news story from Tx. did it mention drug cartels, that is a OOIDA the sky is falling part of the story. Just as was the part about the April story about thefts in Mexico. That story had a bunch of I was told this by drivers, might be, could be and so on and on.
OOIDA is so afraid of the trucks coming from Mexico that they add things to a story.
Afraid? I'd say they're angry - and I understand that. Mexico is NOT the same as Canada, with whom we share a common language [well, mostly] and low level of drug related violence & corruption. Mexico is quite different: decapitated bodies there aren't the work of the odd psychopathic killer, but a rather frequent warning from the drug cartels to the officials who aren't corrupt to back off or suffer the same fate. From the news articles, it seems the Mexican authorities can't be said to be firmly in charge of their own country any more.
When few drivers are willing to risk going into Mexico, it's hardly a program of equal benefit, is it? Not to mention the whole language problem....If I got it correctly, Mexican drivers are required to know very little English to take part, and that seems ill advised, IMO.
When OOIDA 'adds things' to a story, they make it clear, at least - there's no attempt to mislead us, like, say some of the media do on a regular basis.
BTW, the driver walked to a house, guess he is one of the few that doesn't have a cell phone. They had long guns. He had 3 lumps on his head and his story changed from 3 people with guns to one person with a LONG GUN.
Even one lump on his head could explain it: he may well have a closed head injury, traumatic brain injury, short term memory loss [or even just be shaken up by it when questioned at first, then not so much later] - all kinds of bad things can happen when the brain gets rattled by a hard hit to the skull.
