For the love of god! Now it seems that our beloved "cops" have to defend themselves against every criminal walk of our now not-so-beloved city in crisis only with pepper spray! And all because of legal process and stuff .... Then why the hell we are in chaos>. <

Wow, and I thought I was going to be a boring day

A normal day, I was about to do the work of drawing, so I go to the library, but when you take the book that he would use, so tell us to "Get Out of the library please" And I so of "Oo That did? "and then tell us that there is a threat and others .... So we are T_T And I left without doing the work of drawing. __.

Then I directed the computer center, and right when I sat down to use a computer, we also run from there, and send us all to esplanade> _ <All so that the end had we not had pump and wasted hours (Y work, in my case )

Well ....

Even in the best families? Photo of Moy Missions = P That stuff, right? Or thought that only their laps and had goundious pcs?

Very clear, no? So steal things = P Found in ITCJ

Today in art class, I prepared to evaluate teachers, since it is time for that, and therefore, the more quickly be evaluated more prioriedad will have the student in selecting subjects for next semester (wow). And then, the site of the Instituto Tecnologico de Ciudad Juarez is not exactly known for its great architecture ... but it since.

The point, just as it is assumed that you could evaluate teachers, I get this lovely error:

By God! Now they will!!!! = P Anyway .... be respected in any site or any minimum in a function, but the only site of an Institute of Technology? God ....

You lost because I could not evaluate my dearly beloved teachers (uh ...), I began to browse the site, which I find a terminology too advanced for me:

Wow.

Bleh .... Today I play something that has touched all juarez: View an assault, or being assaulted. (Today was the first).

It turns out that as my car is somewhat unsettled, now the circumstances were that I had to take public transportation. Well, many will know from my phone fancy of many many pesos = P Well, that's what I use as an MP3 player. Anyway, I did not take the headphones, because, by god, this is juarez: Imre changing the route of the cellular composition, it would be suicide.

But worse, this was not on the road. It turns out that a guy was waiting near my route also. Ps And now, after I asked what time it was and how much it cost route (what he thought they were $ 4 and I had to pay $ 2 because they charge $ 4.50), as the route did not pass. The problem was when a cholo Caramba something looking suspiciously approached. Quickly and reflecting, I stay away from him, and if it seemed that was coming toward me, because when I move away to a pharmacy nearby, as well as he stopped, turned around, and hopefully the first step route.

That's not all ... Because when I set another cholo looking man had approached the guy, who was listening to music in what seemed an "iPod". Logically, I was still "protected" in the pharmacy, but still I could see the gestures that made ​​the two, and then ... The question of every human being: What could I do?

God ... the last thing I saw was that the cholo said "cool" and then leave the area, the guy with the iPod in their hands. I could only go to offer my condolences and asked how it had happened. Told me that then had a gun, but otherwise he knew where he lived (the wise guy), so well ... No idea you can think to do. But even so, things how are you, should not have to happen to anyone ....

Go all the way from the tourer thinking about the incident. Should I have called someone? Sure, as if they had arrived on time (that, if they had come). Should I have attacked the "cholo"? Probably the pistol shoot ....

NOT FAIR TO HAVE TO LEAVE TO THE STREET WITH FEAR ... OR CAN ENJOY YOUR MUSIC QUIETLY, BUT HAVE TO BE SEEING YOU ALL SIDES, FEARFUL OF YOUR AROUND, FEARFUL OF OUR BROTHERS.
