Just an excuse for some to get drunk on Margaritas and Tequila shots and
where some clownish Sombrero.

LOL...very good.
Hector Escobar says “People are afraid. They’re afraid to even go to work.”
Why are they afraid, Hector? If they are law abiding citizens without any criminal record (or have a valid visa), they there’s nothing to be afraid of. Right?
such a great Mexican holiday.
I’ve been to Mexico twice on May 5th.
Nothing...
It is celebrated in some small town somewhere
I wish we would ever have one anywhere. We are not Mexico. They (and other countries) do not celebrate the 4th so screw them.
THOSE INVADERS ARE NOT EVEN SUPPOSED TO HAVE A JOB HERE, MAYOR
Basically it’s like Kwanzaa in Africa, nobody there has heard of it.
I think Cinco de Mayo is an American beer holiday like St. Patricks Day.
I’m hearing that a couple of cities have cancelled Juneteenth Parades or concerts for this year. Most, because they think after the last Election, there may be too many BLM/ DEI supporters using the day to air their many grievances.
Things may become a little ‘rowdy’.
Good!
We celebrate Cinco de Mayo in Phoenix with multiple bar shootings at Mexican restaurants. It’s a local thing.
If they have legal residence status they have nothing to be afraid of.
“... Cinco de Mayo is a Mexican holiday that commemorates Mexico’s victory over Napoleon...”
No, the true, real story is that the Presidente of Mexico went on a trip to England in 1912...While there, he ate a condiment that he dearly loved...He bought cases and cases of the condiment to be shipped to Mexico for the people...
On the way,Sinko Da Mayo the ship carrying the cases hit an icebutg and sank...it was the Titanic...
The Presidente was so saddened, he declared a holiday and named it Sinko Da Mayo because all the mayonaise sank...
Cinco de mayo is widely celebrated in Texas because General Ignacio Zaragoza is a Texas native son. He was born near what is now Goliad, Texas.
Cinco de MayGo
Aware, we are still not Mexico.
It’s a Mexican regional holiday in the state of Puebla.
The best Cinco de Mayo I ever had was in 1989. I had a new job in downtown Denver (back when it was a clean, growing city). They had an outdoor street fest on Santa Fe Blvd. A stage was set up for musicians. After a set, the Denver PD took to the stage to put on a K9 show! Lots of German shepherds. The curious crowd jammed in, close to the stage. The officer did his introductions but I couldn’t hear what he was saying from my angle away from the loud speaker. Suddenly, the crowd dispersed like ants! I turned to the company intern and asked “What’s happening? What did I miss? Why is everyone leaving??” She said, laughing, “The cop said that the dogs can smell drugs from up to 500 feet away!”
LOL!
Good riddance to all foreign holidays.
