Brickbat: Mexican Standoff

Historiasdelnarco

Andrea Benitez didn't take it well when she didn't get the table she wanted or believed she'd been promised at a Mexico City restaurant. Unfortunately for the restaurant, she's the daughter of the federal attorney for consumer protection, Humberto Benitez Trevino. Just a few hours later, inspectors from his office showed up and closed the restaurant. Benitez Trevino has apologized for his daughter's actions and said he knew nothing about them. The government has launched an investigation.

"Do you know who I am?" carries a lot more weight when they know you can back it up.

"Does aybdoy know this woman? She doesn't seem to know who she is."

H&R just tried for the umpteenth time to get me to download some file called "push" from cm.g.doubleclick.net. What's up with this shit?

[Zakalwe]

We'll never know until you download it and tell us what it does.

[db]

I'm sick of it too. I keep getting redirected to the Android google play store when browsing on my phone or tablet.

[Zakalwe]

Oh, Dusty. In-famous is when you're MORE than famous. This woman Andrea Benitez, she's not just famous, she's IN-famous.

[Fist of Etiquette]

So the inspectors went there solely at their boss' daughter's request?

[Adam]

Yes, and he never heard a word about it! What? You're skeptical?

[Zakalwe]

Sure, that would be a shocking violation of the usual Mexican standards of professional, disinterested conduct by the civil service.

[Rich]

All will be revealed by the investigation the government has launched, unless Andrea Benitez contacts the investigators.

[creech]

Isn't this a tactic learned from every tv cop show in America? Private records are always being obtained by some coercion threat to have "the inspectors come down here and go over every inch of your businesses."

[Rich]

"All right, ALL RIGHT! Are you ... Gloria Estefan?"

[VG Zaytsev]

It works for Dunphy.

Benitez Trevino has apologized for his daughter's actions and said he knew nothing about them.

I suppose he also had no idea his daughter was apparently running his department. Because if he had no idea that means she's ordering around inspectors all by herself despite not even working there.

Re: entropy,

Oh, please. The fucking brat was doing nothing more than what other sons or daughters of Very Important Party Members have done for DECADES in Mexico. It is something to be expected, regardless of which political party thinks is ruling.

[entropy]

I know.
