By David EdwardsWednesday, July 16, 2014 12:56 EDT A New Mexico mother said that she was lucky to be alive this week after an angry stranger began firing a gun at her car full of children.
Theresa Lechuga told KOAT that the incident began when she pulled her car over to avoid a crash on Saturday, and then got in an argument with Daniel Rozzi, who was a passenger in another vehicle. In fear for her life, Lechuga ran a red light. But the car Rozzi was in followed. ROSWELL Part 1: Guns, Grays, and Greeting Cards « Right Where You Are Sitting Now Right Where You Are Sitting Now. In July 1947, a flying saucer went skipping like a stone across the New Mexico desert.
“Most people think the ship crashed in Roswell, but it only hit the ground before bouncing up and landing in Corona,” says Pat Jennings, ex-military UFO enthusiast and “Mercenary Genius Extraordinaire.” Our route into town was opposite of the flight path, my wife and I barreling through the New Mexico desert at 65 miles per hour down US-285 from Clines Corners, a hiccup of a town. It was my birthday weekend, and when my wife asked what I wanted to do, I just pulled out the itinerary I’d prepared and pointed to a map of Roswell. It was like Mecca to a UFO freak like me, and I’d wanted to see it for myself since I was a kid. “I know it’s just a little town with nothing to really do, but I bet I could get a funny article out of it. From two miles back, I could see the first landmark: a Super Walmart with “Welcome to Roswell” painted on the front window, surrounded in little green men.
“Fuck that bitch. David Eckert Appears To Clench His Buttocks; Cops Order Enemas, Colonoscopy, X-Ray For Non-Existent Drugs. A New Mexico man is alleging abuse after authorities conducted three enemas, a colonoscopy, an X-ray and several cavity searches on him simply because he appeared to clench his buttocks.
David Eckert's attorney recently filed a federal lawsuit on his behalf over the Jan. 3 incident, in which police and doctors co-opted an "unethical," 14-hour series of cavity searches, KOB-4 reports. Court documents state that Eckert was driving out of Wal-Mart in Deming when he failed to fully stop at a parking lot stop sign. He was immediately pulled over. When he stepped out of his vehicle, an officer reported that he appeared to be clenching his buttocks. That fact was cited as probable cause to suspect that Eckert was hiding narcotics in his anal cavity. From KOB-4: Eckert’s abdominal area was X-rayed; no narcotics were found. Eckert's attorney told the Herald-Sun that the case needed to go public because it could set a scary precedent. How the desert made Walter White. When people talk about “Breaking Bad,” they focus on Walter White.
This, of course, makes sense. Though Tony Soprano will always remain the quintessential antihero for a decade of TV dominated by them, “Breaking Bad” has actually pulled us along for the ride, showing each exacting step on the path of Walt’s corruption. With the impending premiere of its final eight episodes, it’s too early to know for certain what the legacy of “Breaking Bad” will be, but it’s probably safe to say that the process of giving your audience a problematic but sympathetic protagonist, and slowly turning him into a character many now likely root against, will be the narrative gambit the show remains known for.
But the focus on the character Bryan Cranston has created does do one disservice: We don’t talk enough about “Breaking Bad’s” setting, an element so intrinsic to the show’s nature that it’s on par with any of the characters’ trajectories. This type of innovation shows up at the beginning of the pilot. Walter White's Home Town: Albuquerque and 'Breaking Bad' Driving around Albuquerque, New Mexico, where I grew up, you see “Breaking Bad” pilgrims everywhere.
They descend from tour buses and trolleys to snap pictures of Walter White’s house and, possibly, to toss a pizza on the roof (for an extra fee). They visit the city in search of Jesse Pinkman’s R.V. and the wide, cinematic landscapes from the show.
