The next SMV tour needs AK's for all passengers. 
God Bless, Ray

|  | no really, smokemeth&hailsatan | | Join Date: Dec 2005 Location: Pueblo, CO | | | I was about to wonder about that.
I'm very impressed at Victors calm coolness throughout. Kinda different and encouraging. Even Stanley (who looks big enough to kick some major ass) kept his cool and stayed calm and reserved. I understand that they aren't there to cause a fight, but it was surprising to say the least that none of them blew their top and were yelling screaming and cussing up a storm. |

I'd have been the one swearing at them from the comfort of my seat on the bus.  Swear words are the only spanish I know anyway
God Bless, Ray

None of that would have mattered any way.
Every one on that bus could have come up missing if the officers chose and the reality is, what could have happened if they had not payed the money?
And please this happens all the time,every where. It just happened to be caught on film. |
