I've heard of Killer Tacos,, but...

[Nachum]

The food must be REALLY good.

[rbosque]

So much for human compassion.

[umgud]

No sense letting a good taco go to waste. The guy’s already dead anyway.

[Ptarmigan]

That’s messed up!

[HiTech RedNeck]

Well, at least they had the decency to throw a tablecloth over the poor stiff!

What’s that spot by his head? Did the dying man drop his own taco on the sidewalk as he shuffled off this mortal coil?

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

The longer I live, the less I understand the disconnect/indifference to life that some have.

[FlingWingFlyer]

There has to be the lyrics to a song here somewhere.

[KoRn]

They could have at least sat him up in a chair and made it look like he was enjoying a meal.

[sionnsar]

Coca Cola gets some free advertising.

[HiTech RedNeck]

I don’t know what Mexico has corresponding to the US “911” but maybe the medics came earlier, declared him good and dead, and covered the body up to await the arrival of a hearse.

When I kick the bucket, once the doctors have verified that saving my life would be impossible, I don’t care if a crowd eats tacos around me. Shoot, share some tacos with the paramedics and the undertaker, too, my treat (I can’t take it with me).

[GeronL]

wow

[null and void]

CAT: About your father. If it's any help, he's in the ground now. Sure it's bad news for him. But on the other hand it's party time for all the little worms. (Wiggles his fingers.)

RIMMER and LISTER just stare at him.

CAT: (To LISTER) There's just no consoling him. (Leaves.)

[Brilliant]

Fatal heart attack caused by being shot thru the heart.

[SoothingDave]

I thought of Fawlty Towers:

“I’m a doctor and I want my sausages!”

[Gene Eric]

>> What’s that spot by his head?

I don’t know, but that propane tank looks suspicious.

[LifeChoice]

Welcome to Earth...

[goldfinch]

Third world culture. Ain’t it wonderful? Can’t see why anyone in the U.S. would object to it moving north...

[HiTech RedNeck]

I’d like to teach the world to die
As at this taco stand;
The peppers hot kill like a shot
And the meat’s like rubber bands

[ansel12]

I have seen the same thing in bars after shootings, the police will take care of the body but the rest of the people have to get back to their business.

[ExpatCanuck]

There has to be the lyrics to a song here somewhere.

Wastin' away in tacoville. Some people claim that there's a woman to blame, but I think, it's a burriot's fault..

[ExpatCanuck]

‘burrito’s fault’

[Duchess47]

Strange people, strange culture.

[Mr. Silverback]

Yeah, unfettered immigration from that country is a GREAT idea.

[Eccl 10:2]

“Can I have the rest of that?...”

[muddler]

Coming to a taco hell near you.

[stylecouncilor]

ping

[fieldmarshaldj]

Oh, c’mon. At least somebody didn’t steal his shoes, that’s progress.

[paudio]

Why is it there was a blood there? Did the person fell and hit the pave?

[TexasFreeper2009]

jeez... at least mop up the blood, some one might slip on it and sue!

/s

[theDentist]

The food must be REALLY good.

To die for, dude. :-)

[Uncle Meat]

Reminds me of the punk band ,Fear”A man had a heart attack on the streets of Manhattan,he died there while we just stood there lookin at him.We didn’t care”

[spodefly]

If life is this cheap to average Mexicans on the street, just imagine how little it means to the “sociopaths” in their drug cartels, kidnapping rings, and government.

All coming soon, thanks to the sociopaths in our government, via reconquista to a state or city or neighborhood near you.

[HiTech RedNeck]

It’s a nominally Roman Catholic society, with stress on the nominally.

[Thrownatbirth]

Not everything goes better with a Coke.

[posterchild]

But if he is dead what can be done? If it just happened moments earlier should everyone flee the scene, or should they say a prayer for the man and finish their food?

I once visited Cd. Obregon with an ex girlfriend who was from there. I may have dined there one evening.

[Freedom_Fighter_2001]

The permanent pause that refreshes.

[Montanabound]

Actually, a similar thing happened in Tulsa a few months ago, only it was a Chicken Hut (near MLK Blvd.)

““Can I have the rest of that?...””

Sounds like the Benny Hill skit where the guy gets his food, looks at his watch, gets up and leaves, only to come back to find Benny eating his meal!

[muawiyah]

Thank you, thank you, thank you ~ yes, that is the solution to the conundrum ~ some gotta’ eat and have short lunchbreaks, and yet he is dead.

[muawiyah]

Oh, if rigor mortis has set in you'll be putting him in that chair and his arms are going to go up in the air waving the uneaten taco.

I want to reconsider my thoughts on this one a bit.

[SaraJohnson]

Thanks for that Tulsa article. Man, what kind of people has this American society given birth to? This is damn scarey. It’s like zombies have taken over human bodies.

[MARTIAL MONK]

I used to live near a retirement community. The inhabitants would kick-off in the most inconvenient places and at the most inconvenient times. The groceries had to establish protocol regarding expired customers in their stores. It was a requirement that an aisle be blocked from both ends lest the less demanding of the clientele pummel the cadaver in their morning shopping. That raised a good amount of ire when the geriatric set couldn’t get to where they was wantin’ to go. A stiff on the floor was not an impediment to a good sale on prune juice.

Restrooms had to be checked nightly to be sure that no one had passed as they passed. Any stall door that remained closed too long was suspect and more than one geezer was interrupted in their struggles by well meaning welfare checks. Had to get ‘em before rigor mortis set in in that position and a special casket required. The strain of their last mortal act sent them to the pearly gates in droves. Cause of death: cheese.

You’re the first Red Dwarf fan I’ve ever encountered at FR.

[posterchild]

On large (2K+ people) cruise ships it is not a rare occasion that someone’s body needs to be put in an empty freezer until the ship returns to it’s home port.

[Grizzled Bear]

According to local media, the man died after suffering a fatal heart attack.

That explains the blood splatter...

[MARTIAL MONK]

Do they get at least a partial refund? I mean, a freezer ain’t exactly first class.

[dragnet2]

Is that Houston?

OMG!!
