      XPost: alt.fan.sean-hannity, talk.politics.misc, alt.politics.democrats       From: daily.mexican@gazette.com              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.              http://latino.foxnews.com/latino/lifestyle/2015/06/22/new-mexico-       fiesta-queen-loses-her-crown-over-angry-facebook-       post/?intcmp=obinsite                      --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
