Isn’t it ironic that this guy got killed driving back to the reservation after drinking until he couldn’t see straight? This little bar is only a half mile from the reservation and the Arizona border—and it’s the largest liquor outlet in the entire state. The Mexicans running this joint have a license to steal. And the Navajo tribe helps them. They laugh all the way to the bank.”
Two men teetered out of the bar together, leaning on each other to stay on their feet. “The driver probably never knew what hit him,” Dad said. “Maybe he’s better off than the ones who freeze to death in the parking lot or get run over.”
