now you add that my gf is there, that ends the thought in my mind im standing my ground and im telling her to run as fast as she can to the nearest person and dial 911 the whole way. and im going to use whatever is in my environment against these guys to stay between them and her

in this case it died out awefully fast because people were present everywhere so there were lots of witnesses to call the police. had no one been there it would have been quite different. doesnt really sound like there was time for marshy to make a choice because of that.

the discussion is moot because there were so many people around

edit: i stress that i totally agree in that seeing my gf out of there is number 1 concern

a quick bit of 'research' nets that cinco de mayo is in fact of mexican origin, primarily a regional holiday in pueblo (which isnt exactly on the border of california or the US). its a celebration of initial mexican victories over french forces

californians turned it into what it is in the US, but it is still a celebration of sorts in select portions of mexico.

and i guess my gf or ex or whatever the fuck she is ... i guess her mom and grandparents all born in mexico arent really celebrating today by having a family dinner, guess i misheard them when they said it :dunno: they obviously dont know what they were talking about.
