ETCS (SW/AW) (Ret) sends us a link to the UK’s Daily Mail about Floridaman, Jesus Esquivel who shot and killed a AAA service technician who didn’t arrive on the scene in a time period that was acceptable to Floridaman;
Esquivel, a disabled Navy SEAL veteran, got into an argument over the phone with a service technician about the length of time it would take for him to get a new car battery for his 2003 Cadillac Escalade, the arrest report says.
He threatened the driver, who then asked his bosses to have another driver sent to Esquivel’s house.
The company dispatched [Magdiel Hernandez, 38], who had worked for the organization for ten years, according to his family.
When Hernandez arrived at the home south of Miami, Esquivel opened fire, hitting him several times in the torso, according to police.
According to Don Shipley, Jesus is not a SEAL;
Sir,
I greatly appreciate your interest in upholding the honor of the US Navy SEAL Teams, and your search for the TRUTH. My efforts to expose SEAL imposters are performed as a service to the public, and in honor of my fallen SEAL Teammates… men who truly earned the right to the title “US NAVY SEAL” but who are no longer able to stand forward in defense of their honor, their reputations, and their TEAMs.If the name you provided is spelled correctly, I do NOT find a listing in the SEAL Database (SEAL Teams, Underwater Demolition Teams and predecessor units from 1943 to the Present Day) for anyone named JESUS ESQUIVEL. I have also examined possible alternate spellings, and names with similar pronunciations without finding any that appear to be applicable.
Unless he has undertaken the unlikely action of a legal name change (an action for which there would be evidence in the form of court documentation) since his claimed participation in SEAL training, and based upon the information you have provided, I can state conclusively that JESUS ESQUIVEL NEVER COMPLETED SEAL TRAINING, and he is not now, nor was he ever a Navy SEAL or a Navy Underwater Demolition Team member.
Countless SEAL Imposters show proof of their SEAL claims in the form of SEAL Insignia (Tridents), SEAL Coins, SEAL Award Citations, and SEAL Training Graduation certificates which are unfortunately all available on-line. Numerous others get SEAL Tattoos, Photoshop their faces on SEAL Pictures and alter actual Military Discharge Papers to show SEAL service. Myriads of imposters claim the Navy removed their name from the SEAL Database when they encountered trouble during their service and nothing could be further from the truth.
Many SEAL imposters when confronted with the information I have provided will resort to claiming that their records are sealed, burned or their SEAL Operations were classified as Secret and that there are no official records of them. Before any classified operations may be undertaken as a SEAL Operator, a man must first successfully complete the Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S) Training program and then the follow-on secondary training program. The names of all those who successfully graduate from that training program sequence are compiled in the SEAL database. Later participation in classified operations has “NO IMPACT” on whether or not a person is listed as a graduate of the training program.
There are records of every man who has qualified for the title of “SEAL”; there have been and will continue to be secret missions, but there are NO secret SEALs.
When discovering that a person was never a SEAL, many people would like know what that person actually did in the military or did he serve at all. For a FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) request of that person’s military service you should contact www.pownetwork.org and provide the necessary information. A $20 donation will cover the cost. Please inform POW Network that I have verified the SEAL claim when contacting them.
Thank you again for your concern in this matter, and for your assistance in upholding the honor of the US Navy SEAL Teams. If I can be of any further assistance to you in this matter, please contact me at your convenience.
Respectfully, Don Shipley BUD/S 131, SEAL Team ONE, SEAL Team TWO.

So, Jesus is cooling his heels at the local hoosegow without bond on a second-degree murder charge. The article says that police found novelty grenades in his home.
WSVN is calling him a “a disabled Navy veteran” so the SEAL thing may just be a miscommunication in the media. Either way, he’s not a SEAL.

He’s a LOONEY
Magdiel worked for AAA for ten years, yet somehow was dating Miss Nicaragua in 2016? He’s a graduate of the infamously-CIA American University in Managua. R.I.P., but there’s more to this story.
He does look like he is not all there.
His elevator doesn’t go to the top floor? His belfry is overloaded with bats? He’s at least one sandwich shy of a picnic?
That said, yeah, he’s not all there.
He is not playing with a full deck.
He is missing a few pieces of his jigsaw puzzle.
The lights are on but nobody’s home.
Pretty much, he’s not all there.
He looks to be at least five cans short of a six pack.
“not the sharpest knife in the drawer” “1/2 a bubble out of plumb”!
His fuel gauge says empty, but he still took flight.
His mailbox has no door.
His MRE has no spoon.
A few fries short of a Happy Meal.
His elevator doesn’t go all the way to the top.
Football, 3. Monkey, 0.
Seinfleld’s Uncle Leo
You’re right, that photo is just a head shot
Playing solitaire with a deck of 31.
6 feet deep in a stack of crazy pillows
I thought the line from the song was “playing solitaire ’till dawn with a deck of 51” but “a deck of 31” may be more accurate in this instance.
Not the sharpest spoon in the drawer, not the sharpest crayon in the box
Not the brightest candle on the menorah, a few tacos short of a combo platter, out of his depth in a parking lot puddle.
They autta crucify this clown for his bogus claims.
First a phony SEAL, next he will be saying he is the son of god or some b.s. 😉
……and especially his evil deeds
What a psycho
“The outlet reported that Esquivel had shown threatening behavior before to other AAA employees“. That from the Daily Mail article. Why in blue blazes would AAA then send any service tech to this asshole’s house? That makes no sense.
And that he drives an Escalade…wouldn’t take that service call
Not a SEAL, but maybe just a lowly, lowly cook?
My moneys up pending the FOIA.
Two dollah. Any takers?
Well… it is South Miami, and it is the UK Daily Mail so just about anything’s possible. Odds at this point might favor Jesus as a member of SEAL Team Cinco of the Cuban Navy, or that “SEAL” is a customer code AAA uses for Escalade drivers with the personality of a marine mammal. It could go either way…
I’ll say National Guard, but can you imagine the flak I would take for saying that?
Nah. I better don’t get into any more trouble until next week.
How about some flak right now?
I didn’t know the Navy had a National Guard.
Enlighten us, please.
Wait, isn’t it called the Coast Guard?
Coast Guard is Federal under Homeland Security-They also have a CGR and Auxiliary .I have 2 CG Special Operation Ribbons while in the USN -Summer 1988 onboard the USS Jesse L Brown while conduction LEO Operations.
wow…you got ribbons…that’s sooo kewl.
you think a Master Sergeant needs someone to explain to him where the USCG falls under the organizational scheme? Really?
Dude, you really don’t have a sense of humor.
Comedy is not safe.
YEF what is your beef with the guard? I guess you didn’t know that 95% of all the us army divisions in ww2 were national guard? what the hell is your problem? They still have to go to basic after high school if prior service -you go through a refresher and qualifications. Not to mention MOS School.
I have no problem with NG. Most dudes there are cool and do their jobs with dedication and professionalism.
My problem is with people that embellish their service.
It’s like me saying that because I am 11B I do the same shit Rangers and SF does.
It doesn’t work that way. The special people get the high value targets, the really bad guys, the high profile enemy cells.
When a mission comes up, the special dudes get first picks, and we get the left overs. Sometimes there are so much shit going on that we get a piece of the pie while doing a terrain denial patrol or simple moving to contact mission, trying to convince hajj that is ok to come out and play with us.
And yeah, I have done a shitload of missions and got shot at in anger, but not for a moment, I am going to embellish my service and pretend all units are the same.
And if you don’t like it, pour some sugar on it or man up and go through selection and join the special dudes.
There is a pecking order, and our units are tools to be used by higher command to solve problems.
A commander that send the least trained unit to do the hardest job is a poor excuse for a leader and needs to find another job or become a politician.
BZ for all members of the QRF that dispelled this bullshit effectively and expediently.
Another phony ass hamster that couldn’t be a pimple on a real SEAL! I hope they lock this fucker up for a long time, or better yet he should have a meeting with Ol’ Sparky! He doesn’t deserve to have a peaceful injection and off to dreamland! Fuck him, put him in front of a firing squad with hollow points! God how I hate these phony phuckers! Phuck Hymn!!!
If he’s properly prosecuted he’ll do life sans parole at the least. Florida has the 10/20/Life Law saying that if you pull a firearm during the commission of a crime it’s an automatic 10 years. Fire said weapon and it’s an automatic 20, kill someone and it’s a mandatory Life Sentence. Regardless, he’ll have plenty of smooch time with Bubba, Thor and his cell block.
*Grumpy Cat*
GOOD!
I think this Esquivel is as low as a scumbag can get.
My sympathies to the Hernandez family on their loss.
Police found “novelty grenades.” For some reason the only thing that comes right to mind is the old ‘complaint department grab a number’ paperweight. (oh noes! think of the children!)
I think they are talking about those fake grenades some people like to buy for paper weights.
But I have no friggin idea.
Yeah, it’s hard to find anything funny about this. A regular joe who was just doing his job and trying to feed his family is dead because of this fucker.
As far as I’m concerned there’s not a hole deep enough in this world to bury Esquivel.
Well now Jesus can have a come to JESUS moment, as the fellas in the State pen play pin the cock in the sphincter.
He’s gonna be riding a lot of bologna ponies for years to come.
Pretty ugly dude…think the boys would not want to be looking at his pulsing blue veined orifice…
1) Any port in a storm will do for someone doing life without the possibility of parole.
2) Rape is all about Power and control over someone perceived as being weaker.
Piece of shit! And WSVN reporters did a great job of taking just anyone’s word that this murderer was a SEAL. They’ll of course refer to him as “the alleged perpetrator” but not alleged retired SEAL. “Retired SEAL! Yea let’s go with that with no proof. Great story line!”
Ass hats. More non-journalism from idiots with gimme, worthless degrees in Communications.
These media asswipes posing as journalists are not going to check out any facts that do not serve their propaganda narrative. If their supposed facts serve the progtard memes, they are going to go with it, especially if they think it makes the story more interesting or sensational.
I swear I’ve covered this before on this blog, but here it goes again.
Every paper (publication, really) in the country uses what is called a “style guide.” It explains to writers what the standards are for that organization, such as when to use numerals vs. spelled-out numbers, when to capitalize certain words, and so on. One is expected to write using that particular set of standards.
Most small organizations don’t develop their own guides, but adopt a 3rd-party guide. Examples would be the AP Stylebook and the Chicago Manual of Style.
In this case virtually every style guide I’ve ever seen instructs writers to refer to someone who hasn’t been convicted of a crime as an alleged perpetrator. It’s just that simple. No political agenda at all.
While the Daily Mail might have done a little digging on this, note that they’re working from an AP feed from another country. I doubt a paper in the UK has much time or resources to verify every store they chose to publish from another country. Apparently AP got the story from Channel 7 News (WSVN)” in Fort Lauderdale. Oddly enough that story only called Esquivel a “disabled Navy veteran,” with no mention of SEALs. Another source cited by the Daily Mail was this Miami Herald article which only said that the shooter “told workers he’s a former Navy SEAL.” Note neither reporter claimed the shooter was a SEAL. That apparently was something the Mail inferred. From my own experience someone probably went for a concise description, so someone “tell[ing] workers he’s a former Navy SEAL” got shortened to “former Navy SEAL.” I’ll have to take back my earlier remark and say that the Mail stepped on their dick a bit by making that editorial decision.
But sorry, no, no nefarious plot here. Just a)someone following standard reporting style guides which require one to refer to un-convicted perps as “alleged” something or other (shooter, assaulter, etc), and b) a lazy editing decision.
I don’t doubt there are reporters out there with an agenda, but the two US papers in this case didn’t cross any lines. The single British paper made a claim they shouldn’t have, but it should be self-evident that malice was lacking.
“According to Don Shipley, Jesus is not a SEAL”
Funniest line in TAH, evah.
Well, of course not! SEALs can swim, Jesus just walked on the water….
Good catch …I didn’t even think about pronouncing it that way. 🙂
If jesus had a gun he would still be alive.
When I have a battery problem I ask a friend for a jump or a ride to autozone, and Change it out, bu t I guess Esquival has neither friends or minimal skills
Thanks John and Don for shining the spotlight on these guys.
Maybe a TAH legal beagle can ‘splain this to those of us on the short bus. According to the Daily Mail story, Jesus Esquivel is currently being held in the Miami-Dade Jail on a charge of second-degree murder. If you consider the circumstances, Esquivel allegedly got into a phone argument with AAA, then fired multiple rounds at Hernandez once he was barely out of the truck on the service call.
Meaning, apparently, that Esquivel walked out of his house with a loaded weapon, and a predisposed intent to shoot the AAA guy. This would seem to point to premeditation, first-degree murder, and capital punishment. Evidently Under Florida law, if Esquivel has any past felony conviction, it would also add an extra argument for the death penalty.
So why is he sitting in the slammer with a second-degree murder beef which could potentially be plea bargained down to manslaughter?
Non-lawyer wild guess? They cant (yet) -prove- he plannned the attack, versus just raging on the first thing he happened to see in the driveway.
Once they have further evidence, they may add charges later.
Just a guess but 1st degree murder is what is called a “specific intent” crime while 2nd degree murder is a “general intent” crime.
“Specific intent” means that the defendant intended the result, while “general intent” just means he intended the action.
If I read the account correctly, Esquivel fired through the door, not necessarily knowing where the victim was standing or even whether he would hit him. He just fired in blind anger. That makes it second degree because you can’t prove that Esquivel intended to cause someone’s death.
But he did act with “depraved indifference” (One of my favorite legal terms, BTW) in firing through the door.
As the old lawyer’s saying goes, “It’s not what you know, it’s what you can PROVE.” It would be tougher for a prosecutor to prove that Esquivel intended to kill someone but proving that he fired through the door when he knew or should have known someone was there would be much easier to prove.
It could also be an issue of judicial economy. It may be that unless they’re seeking the death penalty the punishment for 1st and 2nd degree is life without the possibility of parole. So if that’s the case, why waste the taxpayers money trying to prove an element of the crime (Esquivel’s specific intent) and risk an acquittal or mistrial when the sentence will be the same either way?
If the prosecutor wanted to file charges to ensure Esquivel is held in jail without bond, he can do so by filing 2nd degree murder charges. The prosecutor can file 1st degree murder charges later if the evidence supports it.
Couldn’t fix his own car? Definitely not a navy seal, esquivel is just another case of Cuban arrogance, a marielo gusano, trained in the streets of Cuba, and as must Cubans think they own the hostile city of Miami, and can shoot anybody at will…Magdiel was my friend from childhood and no man deserves to die like this…I am sure a navy seal wouldn’t have done that…God bless America
