Last month, 50-year-old Alonzo Sandoval shot and killed three men as they attempted to break into his home in Ascension, Mexico.  This strike back against crime made him a local hero for standing up against the thugs.  This month, Alonzo Sandoval is now dead.  Alonzo Sandoval and his wife were killed at Sandoval’s auto parts store in Puerto Palomas de Villa, Mexico.

“Police agents were assigned to monitor his business for protection, but he refused because he said the agents would scare away customers,” said police spokesman Arturo Sandoval, who was not related to Alonzo Sandoval. “We sent agents there anyway to make rounds by his business about six to eight times a day.  He lawfully defended his property and his family and now he is dead.  We cannot concretely say one event had to do with the other, but it is part of our investigation.”

These two things have to be related.  I mean, he kills some gangsters, and in spite of heavy police protection, they get to him and kill him in response.  It’s a terrible thing, but that’s what happens in what is essentially a lawless country where the cops are more afraid of the criminals than the average person is.

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
