Two Masked Men Perform Acts Of Linguistic Terrorism In South Carolina

Two masked gunmen who held up a Latino market in South Carolina were kind enough to translate their instructions so that no one would feel left out or ostracized:

At about 9 p.m., two men wearing camouflage shirts and dark pants entered La Guadalupana, 160 William Hilton Parkway, Hilton Head Island, and demanded cash — first in English and then in Spanish.

See? Was that so hard? They did their research, knew their audience and gave the people what they wanted while taking their money and scaring them shitless in a whirlwind of plantain chips and hot sauce. It’s akin to Googling someone before a first date and then demanding money and scaring them shitless in a Latino market. Romantical.
