I watched the whole video of the Battlestar Galactica cast at the United Nations (linked to in this article)—I’m a big fan of BSG and of Eddie Olmos, waaay back from his days of Zoot Suit.
But at about 1hr 13 min, he starts ranting about why the U.N. hasn’t sent the blue-helmets into Ciudad Juarez. Now I have nothing but respect and admiration for him—both as an actor and as a public figure—but he really needs to get his facts straight. Everything that came out of his mouth during that little diatribe was completely inaccurate.
He seems to be mishmashing the number of drug war-related deaths last year for the whole country with the number of female deaths since the early 1990s… and is he under the impression that somehow the government sent in the military to protect the military?
No wonder he wants to send the U.N. into my city.
Oh-dear-gods what a steaming pile of crap!
