Streaming reality from tropical Yucatan. Asymp; 1 Comment. The gay panic defense is one frequently invoked by murderers of gay men. It goes like this:. 8220;He seemed like a nice guy, but then he brought up sex, so of course, I killed him.”. Defense attorneys have argued that a psychosis came over the target of an “unwanted” sexual advance and the murderer was thus unable to control his actions thereafter. The good news that the American Bar Association is considering a ban. Any woman who has been hit on...

Streaming reality from tropical Yucatan. When memories flood back. Asymp; Leave a comment. I’m not erudite enough to have read all of Proust, but what I got through impressed upon me the influence of smells upon memories. Oddly enough, what came to mind today while doing laundry is the clean, astringent and faint chemical scent of Tide with Bleach. What a contrast that was compared to the strong floral scents of various Mexican laundry detergents. Robert Wickard was the son of Raymond and Sylvia Wickard&...

Increase in crime | Dispatches from Merida
https://dispatchesfrommerida.wordpress.com/2013/07/29/increase-in-crime
Streaming reality from tropical Yucatan. Asymp; 1 Comment. Over the last year in particular, there has been an increase in violent crime in Yucatan. While some scandal sheets prefer to report luridly on the deaths of gay men, both Yucatecan and foreign-born, the reality is that the increase has been across the board. Last year, at least eleven women were murdered, and at least eight of those at the hands of husbands, romantic partners, or jealous louts of one form or another. Because of messages from soc...

Streaming reality from tropical Yucatan. Those who have left us. Asymp; 3 Comments. I’m startled to realize how many years ago it was when I first visited Xcalak. Emblazed “Grand Cherokee.” A ridge of hills known as the Puuc was frequently seen to the south. Walking around the city to stretch our legs, we went into the old cathedral where books and souvenirs were sold. This was very near the center of resistance for the Maya against everyone else. During the Guerra de Castes de Yucatan. Yucatecos, the Me...

Only two days after El Milenio assures us that Yucatan is as ‘safe’ as Switzerland…. 8230; if Yucatan were a country, it would be the equivalent of Switzerland, “for its security model and impetus to social peace there, for the solution of conflicts,” he said. Four young men were attacked, separately. In the colonia of Xoclán (west Merida) by at least three members of the “Crazy Dogs” gang (. In the beach village of San Fe...

Farewell 2013 | Dispatches from Merida
https://dispatchesfrommerida.wordpress.com/2013/12/29/farewell-2013
Streaming reality from tropical Yucatan. Asymp; 3 Comments. In the final days of each year, I hope for time to reflect and contemplate events which have brought about change. Not the kind of fake PR “news” like which teenage pop star has the most boorish behavior, but those things which have brought about lasting real change that will affect our futures. Two events really resonate with me:. Of Edward Snowden and the voice. Of the new Pope, Francis I. 8220;This will go on your permanent record,”. Against ...
