   Stupid Mexicans never know when to shut their mouths.   
      
   A small-town festival queen had her crown and scepter taken away   
   from her. Again.   
      
   Angelina Vigil was dethroned as La Reina de la Fiesta (“Queen of   
   the Festival”) in Española because of an online post in which   
   she came down hard on the town of 10,000 people in northern New   
   Mexico.   
      
   Vigil’s problems began last week, when her mother’s house was   
   broken into and the crown and scepter that have been used by La   
   Reina since 1969 were stolen out of her bedroom.   
      
   Although the items were recovered in a couple of days, the 24-   
   year-old took to Facebook to complain, beginning her post, “I   
   seriously hate coming to this effin’ town.” (The post has since   
   been deleted.)   
      
   Vigil went on to detail the robbery, how the burglars left every   
   drawer and cabinet open and dumped clothing on the floor before   
   taking off with flat-screen TVs and other electronics as well as   
   the crown and scepter.   
      
   “My guess as to why this happened is because I was crowned and I   
   represent the valley,” Vigil later told the Santa Fe New Mexican.   
      
   The community, which was focused on finding the items, suddenly   
   turned on the queen and the Fiesta Council took action.   
      
   “The Executive Council of the Fiesta Council has motioned to   
   dismiss the 2015 La Reina de Española, Angelina Vigil,” the   
   Española Valley Fiesta council posted on its Facebook page on   
   Saturday, 20 minutes before midnight. “There will be no Reina   
   for this year.”   
      
   Vigil, however, said the post was blown out of context.   
      
   “I meant [to say] I hate what goes on here,” she said, “not that   
   I hate all the people in Española.”   
      
   At a Fiesta Council meeting on Friday night, according to the   
   Albuquerque Journal, Vigil gave a tear-filled apology for the   
   post, saying, “What was said was out of feelings of hurt by the   
   actions of a few people.”   
      
   “This however doesn’t define me,” she wrote a couple of days   
   later on Facebook, “[nor defines] the heart I have for my loved   
   ones and the people where I’m from.”   
      
   The Española Valley Fiesta, a tradition that began in 1933 as a   
   way of commemorating the arrival in the region of the Spanish   
   conquistador Juan de Oñate, will be held July 9 to 12 this year.   
   It is slowly dwindling though – apart from Vigil there was only   
   one other contestant, who dropped out before the competition   
   started in May.
