Where the Hell is Matt? (2008) from Matthew Harding on Vimeo.
On the night of May 17, dozens of men with assault rifles rolled into Villa Ahumada, Mexico in several trucks and shot up the place. They killed the police chief, two officers and three civilians. Then they carried off about 10 people, witnesses said. Only one has been found, dead and wrapped in a carpet in Ciudad Juárez.Ed. - this is the funny/sad part.
The entire municipal police force quit after the attack, and officials fled the town for several days, leaving so hastily that they did not release the petty criminals held in the town lockup. The state and federal governments sent in 300 troops and 16 state police officers, restoring an uneasy semblance of order. But townspeople remain terrified.So I already booked my ticket down. The plan is to recruit a hot-headed gun fighter, a deadly knife-fighting Injun and an idealistic Samurai. We then train the simple townsfolk in all the deadly arts (I'm primarily there for moral support and project management) We oust the banditos and finally clean up the town once and for all. I'm taking online applications at www.savevillaahumada.com.
