Vanguard is a mutual fund company that manages many funds with a variety of stocks in each fund. Typically, no one stock will have much influence on the overall performance of the mutual fund. This is NOT like buying stock in a company then providing govt funds to that company.

Is this what drug abuse at an early age does to people?

Severe, systematic damage like that is more likely due to prenatal exposure.

From the Brownville Herald article.

l February 2007, Guerra handcuffed himself to a table outside the Willacy County Jail daring authorities to arrest him for violating his bond conditions. Guerra had been arrested on theft charges after he refused to let police execute a search warrant at his office. The warrant stemmed from an alleged sale of a state-confiscated vehicle.

Guerra later brought in a trailer, a horse, some goats and a rooster and remained camped outside the jail for almost two weeks. Guerra had refused to go back to his office saying officials tainted it when they executed a search warrant there.

l March 2007, a Willacy County grand jury indicted Guerra on allegations of theft, attempted theft and tampering with government records, perjury and abuse of official capacity. The indictments pertained to Guerra’s attempt to shut down a bail bond company and using county property for personal use.

The indictments were later thrown out due to lack of evidence to support the charges. Judge Lopez had appointed Gus Garza as special prosecutor in the case.

l December 2007, Guerra was named to Texas Monthly’s annual Bum Steer Awards.

l April 2008, Guerra was criticized for dismissing a murder charge against a Mexican national teenager who had been accused of killing her baby.

Guerra at that time said he dismissed the charge against the teenager so she could get psychiatric treatment after put on suicide watch.

It’s the “prison abuse” thing where Cheney and Al Gonzalez were indicted by Guerra.

I get so tired of American “news people” trying to prounounce Spanish names like natives while they mangle other non-English names without regard. Pet peeve.
