Paul McCartney Attacked in Mexico
comcast ^ | 01 Jun 2010 | JT Ramsay

Paul McCartney was reportedly "shaken up" by an incident that happened after a concert in Mexico City. Police had to rescue the former Beatle after a mob swarmed his tour bus.

A source says that even McCartney's security detail thought it was just another ho-hum standard giant crowd enveloping his tour bus until things got out of hand as youths started scaling the bus. It escalated from there as they got on the roof of the bus and started jumping up and down.

The mob dispersed when police were dispatched to the scene. McCartney's management is said to be re-evaluating his security detail.

Now, if only Obama would go to Mexico’s version of congress, stand in their gallery and BLAST their people for their lawlessness and shamefulness of racially profiling Sir Paul, I could sleep easy tonight!! Because you know that’s the only reason they attacked him—his skin color is different than theirs!!! /sarc

Should have known Christor Lee. Is that Sonny Bono on the far left side of the photo?

I used to annoy him every once in a while by telling him that Chapman shot the wrong Beatle.

Remember the joke?

What would it take to get the Beatles reunited again? Three more bullets.

I scroll down a couple more replies and find that somebody else already said it. Well, that's me, a dollar late and a day short (or something like that).

Typical of a third world country, 40+ years behind the times.

Mexicans don't really know that much about the Beatles. They kept shouting "We want to see g-Ringo!"

It”s “Helter Skelter” in the Mexican Riviera complete with your friendly bus rocking and stomping Mexican Mafia, along with their wacky side-kicks, the local Islamic terrorists.

Woke up, fell out of bed,
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup,
And looking up I noticed I was late.
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke,
and Somebody spoke and I went into a dream

Apparently some people south of the border actually have had enough of silly little love songs.

Classic. Thanks for the commentary.
