This new mascot might not be as scary to kids as McGruff. Lord knows I tell my kid to stay away from strange characters wearing trench coats in Laredo.
And another thing: if 90 percent of schoolkids are going to be kept home in Nuevo Laredo, perhaps we should stop using the word 'rumor.' Violence is happening, and sometimes against children, and it's no rumor.

They'll snuggle you to death.
I hate to bring this up, but....
Ya know, Laredo and many other boder cities are feeling the repercussions of the blind eye that they turned towards narcotics trafficking many years ago. Let's face it, much of the wealth and prosperity of Laredo was built on top of the little secret which was drug money.
That is not to say that the transporation hub and interchange would have not thrived on its own, but I think we all recognize that the literal boom in cocaine money really threw kerosine of the small fire of money in this town.
In fact, there ways a noticable undercurrent of violence that we have ignored so long as it styed in Mexico. Now that it is impossible to ignore, we seems flustered.
Go figure.
We've been desensitized to the drug culture down here. We see loads of drugs being confiscated by law enforcement agencies on a daily basis (in the news).
It's all around us. We've learned to live with it.
