I say go for it on the thread. You can do it. ;)

[Then in 2001, Pat Francis O’Rourke died in a freak accident, in which a pickup truck rammed him from behind while biking, crushing him to death underneath the tires before speeding off. A suspect was never apprehended. Investigations concluded no foul play despite his past incident in 1983, and his abrupt retirement from law.]

Sounds like an assassination. El Paso?

He was either hit by an illegal and/or was targeted. Sure it’s possible it’s not true but structured money sounds like narcotics purchases to me. Big purchases. $630,000 total? Wow.

His only claim to being Hispanic, is being born north of the Mexican border in El Paso. His mother gave him the nickname of Beto because he was getting bullied by his classmates in kindergarten.



btw, Ted Cruz is also Irish on his mother's side.
