Heard the one about the judge, the taco vendor, the pistol-packing Iraq war vet and the thief on roller blades?
It apparently happened Wednesday when Al Diaz of The Miami Herald was preparing to photograph the Taqueria Mexicana Orale taco truck at Northwest 27th Avenue and 17th Street for a feature story. He briefly placed his camera on a chair to set up some lighting equipment.
Seizing the moment, a man on wheels snatched the camera and whooshed down 16th. Someone munching a taco yelled, ``That guy just grabbed your camera!''
Taco stand owner Moises Gonzales, incensed at the interruption, tore out on foot after the roller-blader. A food inspector joined him.
That's when Deborah White-Labora happened along. A judge in Miami-Dade's drug court, White-Labora was driving a white Scion minivan with her two children, 17-year-old Christopher and 20-year-old Amanda, having just visited the bank to pick up some travelers checks en route to Miami International for a flight to Peru.

Iraq war vet sorted things out the Miami way, drawing his 9mm Smith & Wesson and telling everyone to freeze.
``Thank God for the Second Amendment and armed civilians,'' said Christopher."

Never get between a taco vendor and a photo-shoot offering him free publicity!
This must have been a great scene...the taco vendor, the food inspector and the Iraq vet in hot pursuit. I bet the thief was sorry he even thought of grabbing that camera.
Sadly, the judge will have to recuse herself from any involvment in the adjudication process of this bum.
I guess if this were on film, it would be Miami’s version of the Keystone Cops routine...the Taco Cops.
I thought this was going to be one of those jokes like: a minister, a priest, a rabbi and Bill Clinton were on a plane...
But, this really happened!
....Rev Jackson did counsel Clinton
Sounds like a Benny Hill scene....
Outstanding!
