La Paz kindergarten evacuated under bomb threat


http://colectivopericu.wordpress.com/2012/02/03/general-calv...

The Luís Peláez Manríquez kindergarten in La Paz was evacuated this Friday morning after receiving a bomb threat. A device with wires and a clock and pvc tubes wrapped in tape was found in the third step in the entrance to the school. The Carlos Moreno Preciado primary school next door was also evacuated.

The operation is currently being supervised by General Jorge Calvillo Ordoñez, commander of the Third Military Zone. A similar device was found at the Carlos Moreno Preciado school last March during a labor conflict with teachers.

Apparently there is something weird going on in La Paz. On the day before the bomb scare, firemen removed a fox from a tree at Secudaria Morelos:

About a mile from my home in Houston.

A Southwest Houston man shot himself after a standoff with police Friday, authorities said.

The man, a suspect in the stabbing of a 4-year-old girl, led police on a 30-minute chase before holding SWAT officers at bay at his home in the 7900 block of Airport near Brookvalley Friday morning, police said.

At about 12:15 p.m., SWAT officers breached the door and entered the home, said Houston Police Department spokeswoman Jodi Silva. When they went inside, they found the man dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The standoff began about 10 a.m., when the man barricaded himself inside his home. The man and the girl's mother apparently got into an argument at a home at 6345 Cattails sometime after 9 a.m., Silva said. The girl was with them during the altercation and was cut on the throat. Police did not say how the man was related to the girl or what sparked the argument with her mother.

The child was taken to Texas Children's Hospital with serious injuries to her throat, Silva said. She is expected to survive.

After the stabbing, the man drove toward his home at 7957 W. Airport. Police attempted to stop the car just before 10 a.m., Silva said, but the man refused to stop.

He pulled into his garage, got out of the car with a gun, and barricaded himself in the house, she said. A short time later, police heard a single gunshot. When they went into the home, officers found him dead on the floor in a back room.

Neighbors in the complex of townhomes reacted with dismay.

Quedia Daniels, whose home is near the dead man's, said she's lived in the area about a year, but the violence is reason enough to find a new place to live.

"I'm terrified," she said. "I'm ready to move now."

Anthony Batiste, a maintenance man at the property, said the man and his girlfriend moved in two days ago and had an argument yesterday. When he heard about the day's tragedy, Batiste expressed regret.

"What happened right here, it shouldn't have happened," he said.

Neighbor Renee Hall added that the incident didn't make sense to her. "It's sad," she said.

No, it was 14.8 miles from your home in Friendswood. And the man shot himself with his own gun. He didn't plant a bomb at a school full of children. It was a marital dispute. They happen everywhere and I never, ever post about them here. Neither do I post about Saturday night bar fights, car crashes among Mexicans and all sorts of the common pecadillos that inflict mankind.

When are you going to come clean and tell everybody that you have a large rental property in Cabo and you have a significant financial interest is keeping the lid on things down there?

Here's a free plug for you.

I wonder if the BajaNomads will ever tire of having their puds pulled by people who just want to line their pockets with other people's money?

When are you ever going to shut up and realize that the violence in Baja is WAY less than the violence in the US.

You are a fool

Oh really? What planet are you from?



Let me guess:

1) You work for the Rosarito Visitors and Convention Bureau.
2) You are trying to sell your $600,000 penthouse condo at La Esmeralda.
3) You just bought a $600,000 penthouse condo at La Esmeralda.
4) You are the real estate agent who just sold some poor schlub a $600,000 penthouse condo at La Esmeralda.

Lets get these facts right....


Mengano / Fulano

Mexico has declared war on the drug cartels....years ago. Of course the death rates are higher in Mexico......... due to the on going war. Fact is.....general violence rates are linked to this cartel war also.

Your chart is not only........... over sized (over 800 wide) for the BN forum.......your head is over sized too with these twisted numbers.

Very few foreigners get caught up in this war ........generally speaking. Fact is Mengano / Fulano..............it's the American market for drugs....that is really fueling the cartels. Punish the drug users severely in the USA...there be a drop in the cartel power base.

Not involved in any business is Baja.

You are a cheap effort at fear mongering. your statistics are often wrong and misleading.
If you are such an expert why are you being one here ?

Since we're all trying to avoid senseless bickering, you do have verification of your claim?
Let's see it.
Trolls without a verifiable agenda don't seem to last long here whereas those who do have one will stand the test of time and not get careless about the lines they cross......the one I see you getting carelessly close to.

If I went back to some news sources and used the stats I mention they would be not verifiable. Like the stat that per capita Mexico City is a safer place than Washington, D.C. when it comes to murders per 100,000 people p/yr.

But stats like those aren't important. What's important is Manges predictability anytime ANY negative news event occurs and finds its way across his computer screen.

Thanks for the reminder Dennis. I am finished with my reactive posts. He gets no more and for that matter Baja Nomads barely gets a look anymore.

Thanks Mange. I'll enjoy Baja and Mainland Mexico without your drivel.
Do you also hope the world ends this year ?

Why is this?

Are you someone who used to hang out? Why the new username?

I'm not on your case with this; I'm honestly trying to figure out if the uncivil behavior that a few self-indulgents manifest here, actually affects the chances of community growth...


I know in my case I lurked here for years before joining 6 months ago.

I'd never bail this forum over a guy obsessed with being negative, but I'll definitely say it's pretty old and tired. I guess he has a right to write whatever he wants.

I came to this site in the Fall to get info on getting my tourist card in La Paz. I did it. It wasn't a big deal.
Since then I have come back to it a few times a week to see what "worthy" news I could gather on "BAJA".

What I have learned is that this idiot fear mongers constantly. As well, others drivel on about the inane stuff regularly.
I don't claim to be some Mexico or Baja expert. What I have little time for is arm chair haters who haven't a clue what the streets all about.
I am here and have been for a few months. It is not my first trip to Mexico for an extended period of time.

In Mange-guanos case I believe the best thing for him to do is to go on the streets of Tijuana/La Paz or mainland Mexico and knock on the doors of the Narco Lords, the Gangs and even the Military and ask them why it is "SOOOOO DANGEROUS" here.

To me that will prove his point that it is. Otherwise you are just telling us what we already know. It is easily found on the web and that is all you are doing. Regurgitating news from another source.

Que lo vaya bien
