I'm 6'3" and have a mean streak a mile wide. I tend to make a point of being nice and friendly but I have an air about me. I grew up in Juarez, Mx and we were considered upper middle class or lower high class. Class is very important in Mexico, so we were pretty well off. So we have that air, I guess. I have no idea. I try to be nice and not intimidate people, but I'm pretty straight forward and blunt, so that tends to make people . . . er, wary? And smart, apparently, at least that's what they tell me. So I have the opposite problem in a way. People tend to avoid me so I'm extra nice and polite to balance it out. Crazy, huh?
##That's the thing. That's why I was so scared in the car that time. I knew the cops were holding me illegally, so what else were they willing to do?##
Yeah, I so get you. I grew up in Juarez but the local cops don't mess with people of my "class". But the federales, those scare the crap our of me.
