Lynden man assaulted in Mexico
A former Lynden man, since banished from the Dutch community, was assaulted in Mexico yesterday by a machete wielding Zihuatenejo resident. Fortunately there were no injuries. Two quick thinking witnesses intervened and stopped the assault before any injuries occurred.
The former Lynden man, Matt Kok, was a little shaken, but was quickly revived with a large gin and tonic.
When questioned about the incident. The normally gentle Zihuatenejo man, Alfredo, become agitated immediately. Once he was calmed again he gave the following statement to the authorities. “I asked him if he wanted me to put out the garbage, and he attempted to reply in Espanol ”. Apparently that is when the problem began. “He insulted me and my family heritage”. Alfredo said he had endured two weeks of this guy, along with another Bellingham man, who he said was just a little slow. The authorities questioned Mr. Kok, and the Bellingham man separately. After the short interview, they determined that the assault was justified, as they walked away shaking their heads. The resident of the house, a Ferndale man, who is multilingual, was also questioned and was able to smooth over the situation. The authorities saw that the Ferndale man was legitimate, he also was able to capture a photo of the assault.
Upon their departure, the authorities commented that they have seen these Bellingham and Lynden Gringo types before. We always wonder how they let them in to our country.
