What you say was very much echoed by the people I spoke with, e.g. the 'professional' agitator class who gets paid or at least encouraged to make trouble. We saw the weaponized immigration from Bolivia, Paraguay, Peru; someone told us that's why the shanty town behind Retiro is so absolutely huge now - get recruited formally or informally in one of those countries, get off the bus in Retiro, move into the shanty town. We also heard that the immigrants are often 'settled' if that's the right word in areas calculated to disrupt Macri the most. <br /><br />You mentioned the now-beatified bombers of the 70's era - my wife tells a story about a time they heard a rumble and the building shook; apparently someone lived in her building that was targeted and the bombers tried to destroy the entire building to get him. Only 1 of 5 bombs (or something like that) actually went off. But the point is they would have killed any number of innocents th get their target. <br /><br />But thanks for the perspective - we will keep watching how things develop.

The kidnappers reportedly asked for a ransom of 4 million Mexican pesos ($207,000).<br />So sad, and shows how one can be taken!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
