Jerry Mchale Defends Rick Longoria on Social Media While Montoya Weighs in on Carlos Marin Connection

Jerry Mchale

Social media journalist Jerry Mchale published an editorial today on his Facebook page defending BISD colleague, City Commissioner Rick Longoria, Jr.  The gist of Jerry's argument is highlighted in yellow in the article below.  

IN DEFENSE OF RICK LONGORIA!!!

"I have endured the travail of women scorned. They play the victim even though behind closed doors they have put their men through hell. She is pissed because you decided to part ways with her. She doesn't want a pound of flesh. She wants a ton of flesh as part of her revenge.

It is easy to see by her irrational interviews with the different bloggers that she suffers from low self-esteem. Since you didn't live up to her unreasonable expectations as a result of her own inferiority complex, you have become her scapegoat.

None of us is perfect, but this woman is pathetic. As much as she has tried to embarrass you, she has only embarrassed herself. She has no pride. If she thinks you made a fool out of her, she has made a bigger fool out of herself with this public spectacle. Any reasonable person would have resolved a personal matter privately.

She does a disservice to the BISD with her immature behavior. Does she think she is the first person to have loved and lost? I am more than willing to date her for the next three months until she is over you and is ready to embrace her next lover. What are buddies for?"

City Commissioner Rick Longoria was also active on Facebook with a message to his friends and constituents about the property dispute reported on this blog.  Here are the commissioner's words:

"The following is not an explanation, but merely a plea of respect for my daughter, family and myself. There are publications (blogs) and people sharing information of a personal nature and have been publishing one sided versions. I have police reports, statements and a pending investigation into malicious lies about me and my character. A break up is never easy and how a person is going to react is beyond my or anyone’s control. To the friends and people that have been

Commissioner Rick Longoria

dragged into something that you know nothing about; I’m so very sorry. If you know me and trust in me I will only ask you to please let this pass and let the law take its course. When things like this happen you hardly see it on the news or social media, but because of what I do the blogs’ will not resist publishing what is told to them. Please note that if you do read these publications that they do not include my version of what really happened and I will once again ask that if you really know me; that you do not judge me. With time the truth will come out and all will be forgotten. Once again to all directly involved; I am so very sorry!!"

Ricardo Longoria, Jr.

From the editor:  Just a note on Rick's picture above.  It was sent to us by ex-girlfriend Julie Olvera, but not before it was cropped by the sender.  We were not interested in genitalia, however diminutive or grandiose. 

Perhaps, more damaging than a nude pic of Rick brandishing his weapon of choice, a Star Wars lightsaber, or even a property dispute, was a report in Juan Montoya's El Rrun Rrun blog linking Longoria to secret campaign financing events sponsored by puppet master Carlos Marin:

" 'Ms. Olvera said Ambiotec honcho Carlos Marin staged a

Carlos Marin

'private fundraiser' for Longoria, during he was handed $4,000. On other occasions, she said Longoria would meet people (Jaime Escobedo, for one) at La Rancherita Cafe across the street from J.T. Canales Elementary, where he would receive as much as $2,500 in cash campaign donations.'
*One other individual mentioned by sources include city employee Mariano "Bean" Ayala, director of the Brownsville Visitors and Conventions Bureau. Ayala reportedly gave Longoria a $240 cash donation through a car window that was also not shown on the last two campaign contributions reports.

Under state law, any contribution made to a candidate of $100 or more must be reported in the campaign and expenditures and contribution reports filed with the Brownsville City Secretary's Office."
