Me either. If it had been me, I would have left a smoke trail I would have left Florida so fast. If I had just taken a dose of Epsom Salts, I would have waited until I crossed the Florida line to go. I believe that his mother is of Peruvians Citizenship. I would have went to her and said, "Mama, I don't care how you do it, but I want you to get me to Peru now."

When in trouble, I’m not sure it is a good idea to flee outside the nation though. You’ll simply have to face coming back, and it will start over.
Best to let it die down with you around so there won’t be a big ‘incident’ at some point, like coming back across the border and the media blowing that out of proportion when you do.
