You might recall news stories back in 2006 of Jose Varela, a freelanced editorial cartoonist of 13 years for El Nuevo Herald, who stormed the Miami Herald offices with a toy gun start a three hour stand-off with police. He was booked into Miami-Dade jail last week for battery and resisting arrest. According to NBCMiami.com Jose started a fight his ex-wife’s boyfriend – who happens to be a trained fighter. You can see the booking photo on MBCMiami’s website. Jose definitely picked the wrong fight.
