Lawrence and I (and others) have often joked that certain establishments, given the amount of traffic they seem to get, stay in business only as fronts for either organized crime or the CIA. (Those of you who want to argue that there is no difference between those two can do so in the comments.)
I just discovered (by way of the TM Daily Post) a possible example of that theory:
Actually, I do believe Jovita’s was an exception to the CIA front rule; it certainly seemed busy whenever I drove past.
And the combination of this raid and the Sixth Street raid in such close proximity makes me go “Hmmmmmmmm”, especially since there appears to be a Texas Syndicate connection to both.
(Apologies for posting this a little late. The story broke while I was in Boise, and I wasn’t checking the Statesman or other papers every day. This did remarkable things for my blood pressure, but was bad for blogging.)
