A man waiting in line at a Mexico butcher shop took advantage of an armed robber’s momentary distraction to jump on the criminal's back and disarm and subdue him. Link Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | ||

Pretty calm demeanor on the part of Tex. Might not be his first "rodeo". | |||

It's a relief to see the one butcher pick up the gun. But then around 35sec, he tries to put it in his waist band, Mexican carry style, and it fall right back out.  The kid is lucky those butchers didn't come out w/ cleavers. | |||

Thanks for posting this, and I know you did not write the header. If I recall correctly pretty much everyone wears cowboy hats in that area of Mexico. In NYC wearing a cowboy hat is unusual unless you are in a movie. | |||

It is true that such headgear is extremely common. I couldn’t tell from the article whether the butcher shop was in Mexico, or a Mexican butcher shop in Monterey, CA, etc. either.

That hombre was a pretty cool customer. And yeah, those damn Yankee reporters making a big deal out of the hat. Those aren't uncommon here in Houston, and a certain type of Mexican wears them even more commonly. When those butchers drug him off, I thought they were going to start carving him up, a la Tony Soprano at Satriale's meat market. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

Serenity now! |
I'd be watching for a sale on mystery meat in the next few days. Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice - pull down your pants and slide on the ice. ʘ ͜ʖ ʘ | |||

The worker who did the throat grab and take down at 0:33 played a small part, too. | |||

Plus he was able to spot and take advantage of a sloppy perp. Changing hand with the gun, not paying attention to the situation and going from victim to victim. No real plan of attack. Bad for him. | |||

I've got a few customers who regularly come in dressed similarly here up in the SeaTac area. One of them speaks pretty good English and enjoys practicing it. He was wearing spurs on his muddy boots a few weeks ago. I know enough to know they weren't for show (seen that, also). Real cowboys still exist, many of them speak Spanish.  Is it just me, or did the robber cock that pistol when he pulled it? Hammer looks to be back when he points it at the caballero, and nobody who handles it after seemingly decocks it. The butcher seems to have shoved a cocked revolver straight into his waistband. Lucky he didn't decock himself. ______________________________________________ Carthago delenda est | |||

Did you do a soil analysis or how do you know it was "mud". Real cowboys don't like to walk anywhere, least of all in mud. The job requires them to sometimes walk in a non-mud like substance. Unhappy ammo seeker | |||

I was thinking he should end up like Carbone in Goodfella's. Place your clothes and weapons where you can find them in the dark. “If in winning a race, you lose the respect of your fellow competitors, then you have won nothing” - Paul Elvstrom "The Great Dane" 1928 - 2016 | |||

I was tryin' to be polite about it. Mister, I never won a cow-chip tossing contest, but I sure did compete a time or two. ______________________________________________ Carthago delenda est | |||
