During the stop, Lorenzo had 3 coworkers with him in his truck who have all been taken into ICE custody.

His family described Lorenzo as a hardworking family man who didn’t deserve to be killed. All he wanted was to provide for his wife and see his sons become great people. His eldest son recognized his father by his cries and pleas when trying to identify who the victim was.

The Salgado Araujo family has set up a gofundme to help with funeral and legal costs, and to help keep their family supported since Lorenzo was the sole provider.

my wife: fuck you you say that every time it's a little foggy outside. you haven't even played the games. i hate you so much

YESS ooookokook so

I feel like Manny is so cool because he represents the part of WLF culture Abby cannot assimilate into. He’s people oriented: everyone knows him, he has a wide community, he’s friendly with everyone, and seems to naturally command the trust of people. Abby is almost the exact opposite. People in the WLF are not comfortable with her, she hasn’t made any connections, and doesnt seem to be loved at all. It’s why I feel like Abby can up and leave after a few days of hesitation, and I don’t think Manny would. (Not to say he would never leave the WLF, he just has much stronger roots. His tribe is the whole community and especially family, while Abby’s tribe is only family.)

On headcannons:

- smooth talks himself out of trouble constantly. Nobody can stay mad or argue with him. He would be really good at casual debating (not professional, I don’t think he would do enough research for that)

- because of his rank and skills, he was considered for organizing the truce between the WLF and Seraphites, but he expressed no interest in doing anything like that.

- kind of bad ears. He’s a firearms expert, soldier, and you KNOW he’s blasting music loud enough to draw every single infected in North America. He’s hitting people with the laugh and nod constantly

- loves old world entertainment. Games, animated movies, manga, etc etc. He’s tried to fix those old game boys with the scariest wiring known to man. It only works at a 45 degree angle pointing north.

- Justice is important to him, and he’s capable of keeping a level head in most situations. We see him pull Jordan off of beating up Ellie because she had nothing to do with their mission. He’s the one squads look for when determining punishments for failure, for breaking up fights, etc etc.

- would’ve been a car guy. I just know it.

- had they met and worked together, Manny would’ve loved ragebaiting Lev.

- would absolutely not listen during mission briefings. He locks in for the objectives and maybe 2 other things and then he’s drawing on the table. Everything in the field is done loosely in the instructions and improvised the rest of the way

- great storyteller. By which I mean every story he tells is maybe 20% truth. He’s definitely gotten in trouble with higher command for ‘exaggerating details’

- great gift giver. He’s got so many friends for a reason— he’s the kind of guy who remembers things you tell him. Yes, sometimes it’s for favors, but still.
