Quoted: So was this just a RIP crew that wanted cash? Cause honestly, society is so far fucked I dont blame vigilantes doing vigilante shit to drug dealers. Especially cartels our government could curtail but dont. Probably just another criminal after drugs and money though... View Quote It seems like a small time rip crew of two to take on what appears to be a distribution level crew. The article stated they wanted to steal the drugs and cash. |

My algebra teacher was a former dea agent. Quit after a drug dealer in miami shot another drug associate and my teacher had to swim to safety.
Was not the type to steal from a badguy but you never know. |

Quoted: So ... what kinda ammunition was used that defeated his vest? View Quote Almost any centerfire rifle ammo will zip through a common vest like a hot knife through butter. It takes a special vest to stop center fire rifle ammo. Even the old time 30-30 will zip through a standard vest. |

I notice that a HS basket ball teacher with no special equipment, training, or infrastructure managed to track down and raid a drug stash house... How did he beat the local cops to the punch??

He was a fine, upstanding man and we grieve his passing. $1 says you're pretty damn close to be accurate! Well played. He was a role model to both the good and bad students. I don't see anything wrong with killing cartel members. Neither did he, until about half way through his first try, I suspect... |

It looks so easy in the movies...,,,,
I wonder if this was the teach’s first caper? |

Quoted: Quoted: Also, the stash of drugs and money found in that location was astonishing. Not bad for a rip off crew, but they were small fish trying to take down bigger fish. I wonder how they figured out who was moving said drugs and money. Detectives believe Harris and Stewart had been using electronic trackers to follow members of the cartel before the shootout. https://cmg-cmg-tv-10030-prod.cdn.arcpublishing.com/resizer/TZhBNancZVZcWO_7P1YIQRQz85o=/600x0/filters:format(jpg):quality(70)/cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com/cmg/RMWPAB5YKNE5LMRAMNYQ3LEB2Q.jpg https://cmg-cmg-tv-10030-prod.cdn.arcpublishing.com/resizer/xte46YKCebrk-2yNydSUoPNCRkQ=/600x0/filters:format(jpg):quality(70)/cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com/cmg/7PBQFV3SPJGNTMNWGJLAFUX2IA.jpg 2 guys to hit that operation?

Wouldn't it be crazy if he was vigilante. Like wanting to settle a score. Or knew he was going to get killed so go out blazing.

He clearly felt like a badass, right up until he learned otherwise.
Also, that's a decent level of operation. Very "peculiar" that no other arrests were made and everything was left behind. |

He was there to practice his linguistic ability. Now who is going to get the rapist athlete off the hook?

I'm thinking there are easier places to rob than cartel stash houses and I'm thinking I'd rather have the cops after me than a Mexican drug cartel.

I imagine his first thought was 'I'll just put this gun in their face and they will do what I want'.
He didn't prepare to go all in I surmise. |

Um,maybe this is my whiteness speaking but when someone in my community “dies unexpectedly” we tend to think more of congenital heart defect or something of the like rather than “was shot attempting to rob cartel members”.

Quoted: Homie fucked around, and homie found out. Level 3 vest, cartel with rifles, you lose.
