THE BALLAD OF EL CARNAL BENITO RICHARD NEECE (AUDIO)

(Ed.'s Note: This audio was sent to us anonymously with only a phone number as the source. We will respect the sender's wishes, although everyone who has heard it has guessed it was written and sung  by  everyone from Kris Kristofferson to Emilio Crixell or Albert Besteiro. Whoever it turns out to be, it is a beautiful expression about an old friend and someone who loved people and his hometown and will be missed sorely. Thanks.)

He never used that name, but I might be wrong. Keep it focused, he's a hispanic/gringo del valle. Those are rare up north....

GOOD JUDGE, GOOD ATTORNEY AND A GOOD FRIEND!!

RIP my friend.

Was he related to Emilio?

(Was he related to Emilio?)

They were blood brothers. While drinking at a bar, about 20 years ago, they each cut their thumbs with a razor blade. They then joined both thumbs and exchanged each others blood. Thus, becoming blood brothers. Huh, Emilio?

With all the heavy fines for routine traffic stops, Judge Neece was a gallant advocates for relief from sometimes ridiculous vehicular violations like burnt out taillights.

Please name a park or some downtown improvement in his memory.

Maybe a City of Brownsville could build an information center with free WiFi, coffee and cookies.

Maybe the grant writer who made the bike trails a reality might have a grant to house a location with showers etc.

Bus station area is nice and could be a international welcome center too.

Maybe the homeless community will benefit from Ben's efforts.

He had been trying to solve the riddle of what to do with them.

So many that they're hard to keep track of.

The Ozanam Center was his pet project too.

God Bless Ben.

Pendejo! Learn some Brownsville History. Elizabeth, was the wife of city of Brownsville founder Charles Stillman. First three city streets are named after Stillman's immediate family, then starts Washington street after Presidents, which is patriotic for a town. Or at least Brownsville used to be.

Not a fan of Stillman, but I know Brownsville, and Texas History. Get a membership at the Brownsville Historical Association, and learn something about your town.

Brownsville will miss Ben. However, to rearrange the street names in his honor is not becoming. I am not judging but we all know he was a pot head.

Maybe put up a plaque in his honor at the homeless shelter...🤔but that is it.

ALL streets with a gringo name were later discovered they were all corrupt so change all the gringo named streets, of gringos that used to live here.

I find Trump abhorrent because he takes no responsibility. All I need to back up my statement are his actions before, during, and after January 6. He is a pussy. How can anyone think that a worthless piece of excrement like him should be representing our country...I know "but I will have more money for a taco." Se venden por el taco. Los pobres ilusionantes y ignorantes.

Whomever writes "Save America but from Trump" I hear you and support your statement 110%.
