Julio Perez will likely remember the Alamo for a long time to come, mainly because he’s being accused of damaging it to the tune of $250,000, KENS 5 reports. Police say the 22-year-old Texas man tried to carve his name with a car key into a 250-year-old wall in the Monks’ Burial Room, creating a 3-by-1-inch gash
in the recently designated World Heritage site. Per the police report, a tour guide reportedly spotted Perez notching “Julio” into the limestone and told him to stop, and an Alamo security guard nabbed him and a female companion when they tried to escape, the San Antonio Express-News notes.
“In Texas we take our history seriously and consider the Alamo to be sacred ground,” the Alamo Rangers chief said in a statement, per the New York Daily News. “Desecration of any part of these hallowed grounds, especially the walls of the Alamo Chapel, will not be tolerated.” Perez has been charged with second-degree felony criminal mischief, and the damaged room has been closed to the public as preservation experts try to figure out how to how to fix the carving.
At some point I hope congress, senate and president takes History (and its documents) as seriously as Texas does.
Perhaps Wholio should have “ALAMO” carved into his forehead; with a car key.
LMAO…score
The Alamo…..isn’t that the place where the brave Mexicans killed the usurping, racist, white invaders who were kicking in their doors in the dead of night, terrorizing women and children?
Q: Do you know why there were only 5000 Mexicans at the Battle of the Alamo?
A: Because they could only get two pickup trucks started.

Julio Perez RRRRRRRR. That name sounds Mexican to me. Away with him! First to Planned Parenthood to be stripped for parts then dump the carcass over the fence.
Am guessing that before long, the structure and its history will need to be obliterated because it offends a certain group of rat-people that don’t deserve to live here anyway.
Julian Castro’s La Raza mama, stated once that the defenders of the Alamo were a bunch of crooks and drunks.
My reply is: So, a handful of drunks were able to hold off over a boatload of trained Mexican soldiers for two weeks…
Says a lot about mama Castro’s homie’s abilities.
Life. Without.
Period.
Sharing a cell with Thunderdick.
when Crocket saw the Mexicans ,he turned to Bowie and said “who ordered the concrete?”
