Bulllcrappp. Silence yourself and those who don't want to hear you will be served. If that's the government...well....you figure it out.


It may be considered a "Security Alert" in Baja Norte. But I don't really know what a Security Alert is. I think when all the names come out- there won't be many "lerts" left.

Here we go!:no: I hope this is a VERY isolated event. I really want to move my family to that area. One of the main reasons being little crime and no heavy narco problems. Please keep us posted on the details Jesse.

Jesse. Perhaps more details??? I'm thinking that even if it's retaliation, it would also signal a certain amount of capitulation. But right now, with just the knowledge that two La Paz policemen have been killed, without any other info.....

Quien sabe?

Well, let's see......... Teo is collected in La Paz and half the government leaders are in hiding. Is it a surprise that cartel related criminal activity is taking place there?

With the understanding that cartel-like violence was basically non-existent there? I appreciate that you are viewing this through your BC lenses. And maybe you are correct. We'll see.

Not a suprise at all. I am astonished it took this long. I was just hoping Baja Sur could stay out of the violence limelight. Things like this are one of the lead reasons I plan on moving to Baja Sur. I just hope this is the end, and not a new beginning.

I think it boils down to exactly how much power the cartels have. I always figured that BCS provided the cartels with cover, while simultaneously being a huge revenue stream for Mexico because of tourism. Tourism will dry up in a second, if there is anything close to the violence experienced elsewhere. It's going to be a game of chicken, IMHO.

Look at the bright side, as a potential home buyer you may find some better deals.

I know, I know, I've been living in TJ too long.

Some guy was killed just down the street from me last night. I heard the gun fire - pow pow...pow pow pow pow...pow pow. Got up, looked out the 2nd story window, watched all the cop cars congregate for a while, and went back to bed ...............

Nothing new, that's for sure.

Two Policemen were killed while in the process of trying to stop two armed robbery suspects. It appears that a third Policeman was wounded and in critical condition.

Edit: spelling correction!

Thanks, I am working on my spanish. If there is a way to look at these links in english, I'd like to know about it. It sounds more like typical scumbags, not a cartel scumbag hit. I know that does not help the murdered cops, but if it is not cartel related, maybe they will be able to track them down!

Electric or Acoustic...?

Just kidding.... I know your strings are measured in pound-test rather than tuning :-) a few decades of bass and cello in the symphony and solo career have twisted me a bit...

You CAN always use a translator web site to translate.... although you will get a very rough (grammatically incorrect) translation, it can help you get the basic drift:

http://babelfish.yahoo.com/

and

http://translate.google.com/#

are my two favorites.... They have helped me a ton !

If you want to see a side-by-side translation of an internet page from Spanish to English, download and install the Google toolbar. When the Google toolbar is installed on your browser, there are more menu items to select from over on the right-hand side. One of the menu items is "Page". Click on that and a drop-down menu will appear. From the drop-down menu select "Google Translate". A new tab will open with the page you are looking at translated into the language of your choice.

When you scroll your mouse over a translated sentence on the page, a balloon will appear which shows the same sentence as it was written in Spanish, so you can compare the two. Be careful, Google translate often gets the grammar wrong, so modifiers like adjectives and adverbs are modifying the wrong word. It also tends to turn negative statements into positive statements. For example, the Spanish version may say, "He did not go", and it is translated as "He did go."

TRANSLATED IN MICROSOFT WORD


La Paz, Baja California Sur.- Dos agentes de la Dirección de Seguridad y Transito Municipal fueron acribillados a balazos luego que intentaron frustrar un asalto en una casa habitación de la popular colonia La Fuente de esta ciudad. Otro elemento policiaco que en cumplimiento de su deber intentaba detener a los ladrones también fue baleado y en estos momentos se debate entre la vida y la muerte en el Hospital Salvatierra. Se trata de Carlos Vega y Manuel Ochoa, adscritos a la Dirección General de Seguridad Pública y Tránsito Municipal de La Paz, quienes fallecieron en el tiroteo, y Luis Felipe González, quien resultó lesionado y se encuentra en el Hospital Juan María de Salvatierra. Según confirmó el subprocurador del estado, Luis Alberto López López, los uniformados acudieron por un llamado de robo en la colonia La Fuente, en las calle del Mar esquina de La Cascada. Al arribar, los recibieron a balazos. La información recabada indica que al menos tres sujetos armados con pistolas calibre 9 milímetros intentaban realizar un robo en una vivienda de dicha colonia ubicada al sur de la ciudad. Al ser sorprendidos, los ladrones salieron de la vivienda y dispararon a los policías. Al primero le dieron un balazo en la cara y al segundo policía en la zona del corazón, perdiendo la vida ambos, en forma casi inmediata. Los agresores huyeron a bordo de una patrulla pickup, en que habían arribado los policías al lugar de los hechos. Una intensa movilización policíaca inició primeramente por la zona del Rastro municipal y luego por las colonias Agua Escondida, Diana Laura, La Fuente, Camino Real, Santa Fe y Miramar donde se desató la búsqueda de los peligrosos criminales quienes hasta el momento continúan prófugos y permanecen armados. Al mismo tiempo, en pleno centro de la ciudad, dos sujetos desconocidos asaltaban un negocio de venta de calzado, denominado “Impulso”, ubicado en la calle Gómez Farias entre 16 de Septiembre y Degollado. En el lugar, a mano armada y con violencia, los delincuentes lograron amarrar al propietario, Ignacio Marques Osuna y lo metieron al baño, llevándose también un automóvil marca Ford Focus, 2002, con placas de circulación 711 PMN’4, mismo que minutos después fue abandonado a tres cuadras del incidente. En este suceso afortunadamente no hubo lesionados. El titular de la dependencia municipal, José Saúl González Núñez descartó en entrevista que en este asunto exista cualquier vínculo relacionado con el narcotráfico.

And, if you really want to have some fun, return the translation to the translator to be converted back to Spanish, then do it again, back to English. Not much of the original piece will be left.
I think these translators do one word at a time. Anyway, better than nothing and you can hone your extrapolation skills.
