Thank you Taxpayers

Gilberto Escamilla, 53, was employed at the Darrel B. Hester Juvenile Detention Center in San Benito, Texas. Gilberto apparently liked Fajitas, at least he liked to order fajitas.  It was discovered that he had been placing orders for fajitas using county funds, lots of fajitas enough for him, for his friends and for his customers in the restaurant business. Gilberto would order the meat and vegetables and have them shipped to the center and then deliver them to his customers.   “It was selfish. It started small and got bigger and out of control,” Escamilla said during court testimony, according to the Herald. “It got to the point where I couldn’t control it anymore.” Gilberto’s scheme unraveled last August after a delivery driver with Labatt Food Service phoned the detention center to give kitchen employees a heads up that an 800-pound delivery of fajitas had arrived. Employees immediately thought the delivery to be suspicious as minors at the detention center are not served fajitas, however the delivery driver insisted that had been delivering fajitas to the detention center’s kitchen for the past nine years. An audit determined that Gilberto had stolen $1.25 million dollars’ worth of Fajitas over 9 years at his job. After being fired and arrested, Escamilla’s house was searched by police, who found packages of the fajitas in his refrigerator.

Kimberly Gardner is supposed to be gone. She has resigned from her post as St. Louis Circuit Attorney. Gardner’s tenure has been marked by crime and chaos. Since she took office in 2017, St. Louis has seen more than 1,200 homicides, 23,000 aggravated assaults, and 20,500 vehicle thefts. In the five years before Gardner took office, the city had 29 percent fewer homicides and 10 percent fewer aggravated assaults. The Circuit Attorney’s office has lost at least 470 years of collective experience from staff departures. There is a backlog of about 3,000 cases pending review by prosecutors. In 2021, the office dismissed 36 percent of the felonies it initially charged. The judge said that Gardner and her office had “essentially abandoned its duty to prosecute those it charges with crimes.” In 2019, she published an “exclusion list” of 59 police officers whose cases her office would not bring to trial. In 2020, she filed a federal civil rights suit against the city, the police department, and the police union, alleging a racist conspiracy to oust her from office. Paid by George Soros, she personally created chaos on St. Louis streets by not prosecuting criminals.  She threw out more than 9,000 cases as they were about to go to trial, which forced judges to dismiss more than 2,000 cases because it caused failure to provide defendants with evidence and speedy trials. Her Soros funding successfully created more dead, innocent black people and scarred thousands for life.

But the icing on the cake was that she was forced to resign (note: not fired, not prosecuted, not thrown in jail) but allowed to resign because she was going to college during work time to be a degreed nurse. Isn’t this government thinking in action? Spend millions on offices and benefits, boobytrap the legal system, collect Soros money on the side, but she gets canned for cheating on her timecard.
