Those donkeys are great for keeping livestock safe.

Killed by a donkey? The mayor must have been a republican.

May he rest in peace.

Atascosa County is a major player in the recent oil/gas boom going on in S. Texas.

This guy was apparently quite a stud. From another article about this:

Bohlke, who was in his 60s, served in the Air Force for 20 years before retiring in 1990. He was a B-52 instructor pilot and squadron commander and served in the Vietnam War. He earned 10 air medals and three Distinguished Flying Crosses.

Republican?

Around here, donkeys are kept to watch livestock. They will absolutely KILL coyote and wildcats. We can’t have one as our dogs are too curious and might try to make friends with it. What a terrible way to die.

Yikes. RIP.

I find it interesting that Mayor Bohlke is described as a “South Texas” mayor. Hollywood Park is an “enclave” of San Antonio on the north side of town by the 281/1604 interchange. Atascosa County is south of San Antonio, home to the Poteet Strawberry Festival. I wonder if the copy writer saw Atascosa County (where the late mayor owned property) and automatically assigned the term “South Texas,” since that descriptor is rarely given to areas north of San Antonio.

Either way, sad news, and not a good way to go.
