Reality Check - 04/26/2009
I'm hoping that the weekend was kind of slow because it's a pain in the neck to read the stories, paste the links etc. I was mentioning the stories from El Meridiano to my wife who told me that we were in the paper when we got married. A friend of my mother-in-law's slipped in an item without her or my wife knowing about it. I just hope they spelled my name right.
From El Meridiano de Cordoba (Monteria):
http://www.elmeridianodecordoba.com.co/index.php?option=com_content&vi...
Two members of the criminal gang of Mario were killed in a battle with an army unit. Weapons and ammunition were also seized.
http://www.elmeridianodecordoba.com.co/index.php?option=com_content&vi...
Another item about the swindlers who were using false documentation to steal from merchants in Lorica, Monteria and Cima. The funniest part of the story (at least to me) was the following: "Sin embargo, Jairo Antonio Martínez Espitia y Ledis Arbeláez dieron papaya regresando ayer a Ciénaga de Oro queriendo realizar otros negocios." I guess even thieves give papaya from time to time.
http://www.elmeridianodecordoba.com.co/index.php?option=com_content&vi...
In Cienaga de Oro, a couple of people on a moto pulled up to the terminal of the Cooperativa de Transportadores and robbed the collector of the day's collection. The collector at first refused to hand over the money but thought otherwise after being beaten.

In Monteria a man of 80 and a woman of 42 were both arrested for using false identification to try to withdraw money from a bank.
From El Meridiano de Sucre (Sincelejo):
http://www.elmeridianodesucre.com.co/caliente/domingocaliente/judicial...
After the mayor of Covenas disappeared, a hunt was started in the belief that she had been kidnapped. She came to the newspaper office to state that she had come to Sincelejo with companions and was unable to be reached when the battery in her cell phone died.
Police stated that after a series of robberies in which the victims were tied up that these will be treated as kidnappings if the victims are held "por un minuto contra su voluntad". That will show them!
The body of Francisco Villaba was returned to his native city, Sincelejo, for burial. He had been assassinated by persons unknown after being let out of prison in Medellin due to medical problems. The AUC leader had tried to tie President Uribe to the massacre at El Aro.

Tinto (Moderator) (Trustee board) says on Apr 28, 2009, 15:56: Last time I heard, Utopia Cowboy lived in or very close to San Antonio, TX. A million plus in the city, 2 million plus in the metro area. Not exactly Nowheresville. I wanted access to health care, housing and education, but, no, I get potholes, trash and silicone tits instead. -Desi. 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

utopiacowboy says on Apr 28, 2009, 19:49: Actually, Coastal Gringo, I agree with the comments in your last post. If you actually read the items posted in the "reality check" you'll see some of them are ridiculous. I mean the Covenas mayor's phone is discharged and they can't reach her on a shopping trip to Sincelejo so they assume she's been kidnapped. Who could make this stuff up?
