John Mendoza Jr, 18, was a grown man. That’s what you are the moment that you hit that age. Last week, he was shot and killed by a deputy who was pursuing him. That’s right, folks, he was fleeing from the police, a bold move indeed. It all started when Deputy Kevin Tippit initiated a traffic stop.
Mendoza is said to have sped away from the spot, forcing Tippit to pursue him all the way to his garage. It was at that point that Tippit pumped Mendoza with poison. As one might expect, his family is now telling anyone who will listen that Mendoza was the victim. Victims don’t flee.
Mendoza had no weapon on him or in the car, and yet Tippit shot him. Lots of people have an issue with that. I do not. His life was fair game the very moment that he abandoned the stop. Now, did Tippit get praise for doing a job well? No, no. He got fired. Fired for making Texas a little bit safer.
Honestly, this is all Mendoza’s fault. Had he stayed put, he would still be alive.
Now to the funny part: as he died, he cried like a bitch and pleaded for his daddy. He was 18, not eight. A real man takes his punishment and does not cry out for daddy to come to his aid.
“I want my dad,” he whined. Priceless! Just like a, and I’ll say it again, whiny little bitch who just found out that actions do have consequences. Surely he learned that in his younger years. I guess not.
Sadly, there is an active criminal investigation and people are angry. They are demanding what they call accountability. You mean like the accountability Mendoza showed? I am certain that he will not face charges and if he does, I do not see a conviction in his future. The man is a hero and Mendoza? He was a zero in every aspect of his life!
Unfortunately, Tippit has been called a “disgrace,” and many people are angry with him. Why? He took out the trash!
