Mob 1 - Thief 0:
Stealing didn't work out so well for one dude last night. Got done by an angry mob who beat the shit out of him with sticks and bricks. Apparently, this is only the 4th time this has happened in 2007. 4th time?? Others ask, "Where the hell are the Police?!" The question is:
Where the hell are the angry mobs?!?!
Opening Night at the Riverside Night Market:
Unfortunately, stealing doesn't always end with a mob stomping the shit out of some asshole who deserves it. Stealing worked out fine for one dude who saw a big Aussie with a back-pack and said, "YES." Took an exacto blade to the bag and slice - off went her wallet. She found out when she went to buy an over-priced wicker basket. But the bag-slasher wasn't the only one fucking up the program.
The Cops Do Their Part:
Tourists at the riverside cafes and restaurants. Enchanted by sights and sounds of a charming and exotic land get treated to the country's most popular sport. Cops with batons beating the crap out of poor people. Yes, in front of a riverside full of visitors, they cleared away public menaces like corn and sugar cane vendors WITH GUSTO. Take THAT old lady! Whack! More where that came from WOMAN-HOLDING-BABY...For their trouble, the cops ran off with the cane machines and steamed corn carts and hauled them off to the station for ransom.
With effort, cane and corn ladies and their crying children were subdued. Right on cue, a little Jap 2-seater with RCAF plates painted in garish yellow-orange tiger stripes with the words, "MAFIA ACTIVITIES" painted on the door zoomed past.
New Mexico lies: This is the LAND OF ENCHANTMENT.

Good to see your typing away again with the blog. You must be settling into your new work schedule Bong. As for the cops, country folk, and thieves during the recent festivities it's the same year after year. I always watch with interest the new sporting girls that turn up and decide to make some quick cash for the holiday. Some are never seen after the festival ends. Others stay on and we get to watch their transformation from country girl into vampire of the night! Ahhhh...yes I love the holidays!
