Alex Torres
Candidates for U.S. Congress and the Texas House of Representatives paid for individual tables at the Bringing Brownsville Change Candidate Forum held at the Amigoland Event Center 3/8/12. According to Juan Montoya, publisher of the El Rrun Rrun blog, that fee did not include provision for a security guard. According to Juan, after the event, Alex Torres, a candidate for State Representative District 38 was accosted by one of Eddie Lucio III's entourage over an answer he gave at the forum. Lucio is running as the incumbent in District 38.
Montoya continues:
"As Torres made his way out to the parking lot, he asked Ted Hasse, now a candidate for Texas Southmost College trustee (Place 6), to walk out with him to his car in case he needed a witness since the E-3 guarura was also heading out the door. As Hasse tells it, the E-3 guarura followed Torres and Hasse to the car and tried to assault the candidate. Hasse, now in the company of local gadfly Robert Uresti ran interference for Torres and in no uncertain terms told the E-3 thug to buzz, with Uresti warning him he would call the police if he didn't.
At the mention of cops, the coward lost his courage and left Torres to go on his merry way.
What would have happened if the assault had actually been allowed to continue and no cops or security were present at the event?
If not for Hasse and Uresti, Torres might have been hurt by E-3's thug. And that's the way the Cheezmeh crumbles."
Robert Uresti
Actually, Uresti stepped in to prevent bodily harm in an incident at the City Commission building a couple of months ago. A group of citizens had just attended a commission meeting where they spoke out against a recycling center promoted by realtor Dutch Fisher being built in their neighborhood. According to reports, after the meeting some shouted exchanges occurred between a proponent of the salvage yard and the citizens. It was alleged that Commissioner Jessica Tetreau was pushed during the altercation. A bystander reported that Robert Uresti intervened on behalf of the commissioner and police were called.
these robert euresti stories are so bogus. The guy is no hero. He is looney
ReplyDeleteAlex Torres and Jessica Tetreau would know the truth.
ReplyDeleteWhat we the public out to do is VOTE THE SUCIO LUCIOS OUT OF OFFICE.
ReplyDeleteAre Erasmo and Linda AKA THE BBC supporting Robert Uristi financially?
ReplyDeleteWho is the person wearing the North Face Tent?
ReplyDeleteThis is all bull shit!!I was there, none of this happened!
ReplyDeleteIt did happen.
DeleteTad, anything can be exaggerated to make a group look unprepared and uncaring to such situations... keep applauding Jim's stupidity... the guy in question looked more like a vagabond (despite the fact that he was an attorney) than a threat to anyone... Jim's "article" which he got from Montoya is generally incorrect in its nature...
DeleteKeep feeding Jim's madness Tad...
You're not reasoning particularly well, Erasmo. If you think an attorney looked like a vagabond, that's irrelevant. Whether part of the story came from Montoya is irrelevant. Tad and others corroborated the account at the "forum" and at the City Commission meeting. Several witnesses said Uresti and Hasse acted courageously and that the event had no security. What part of that can't you comprehend?
DeleteJim
"..the guy in question looked more like a vagabond.."
DeleteYou should talk, how did you look in that 22XL Size, off the rack coat you found at Johnson's Ropa Usada? Like a GQ model?
I saw the assault on Jessica Tetrau by the scrap metal owner, I saw it! Tetrau was giving her information to Linda Pena who opposed the plant, because Linda was anaware tetrau was her commisioner. At that time, the recyle plant owner assualted Tetrau by pulling tetraus arm like a rag doll and pushing her and whispered a threating statment as tetrau had just voted against this lady. ROBERT URESTI was on hand and witnessed the altercation and immediatly jumped in to protect the City Commisioner while everyone else stood in shock. Uresti has proven he is an asset to the community numerous times.~ DG
ReplyDeleteYes, I heard that the pushing and shouting started downstairs after the meeting. If Nena and I had been there we would have put it on video, but we watched the meeting on Channel 12.
DeleteI was told that the one who pushed Jessica was a woman from Matamoros who owned the property that Dutch Fischer was trying to develop.
The police were called and broke it up.
Jim
These power hungry politicos like the Lucios and Dutch Fishers think they can bully the people well the people are fighting back. We're not going to let you harm us anymore. Your days in power are numbered.
ReplyDeleteRV
Dutch kind of shot his wad at the city commission. I never knew he was that big of a jerk. I'm afraid Eddie III will be around as long as he wants to be. Women seem to love him and believe that little goody two shoes image as a great husband and father he tries to project. Yeah, right! lol!
DeleteThank you Tad and Robert for standing up to this goon, whoever he was. Thank you Jim for covering the story.
ReplyDeleteI've been meaning to say this for a while, but Jim, I enjoy your writing and reporting. You don't seem to be full of yourself with sort a laid back, easy to follow manner.
ReplyDeleteRather than exaggerated, I would describe your style as understated, if anything. Please continue.
So, did anyone find out who the badass was that was trying to get into Alex Torres's face? Was he drunk?
ReplyDeleteTad is a nice guy to be sure, but does he ever draw a breath? As a TSC trustee would he EVER listen or just want to hear the sound of his own voice?
ReplyDeleteWhat is that gray blimp?
ReplyDeleteThe Sucio Lucios are RATAS DE DOS PATAS!!!!! Uuuggghhh! I would be so ashamed to be one of them.
Papa Lucio does'nt remember cuando andaba de pata rajada and the teachers from Clearwater helped him and got him elected.
Ahora se crea muy gringo pero parece negro el viejo muerto de hambre.
Jim, I agree that you have an easy to read style of writing.
in other words he writes like a 5th grader.
DeleteIn other words he writes like your pinche puta madre cabron.
DeleteIn other words,he writes the truth! IDIOTA!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou really make it seem reallу easy along wіth your presentation howevеr I to fіnd
ReplyDeletethis topic to be really something that I believe I would nevеr undeгstаnd.
It kind of feels too complex and extremely extenѕive for me.
Ӏ'm having a look forward for your next put up, I'll try to get the hang of it!
