Another very quiet and peaceful weekend in Acuna. Piedras also remains quiet, although it appears that the burned remains of three young women, said to be closely associated with drug dealers, were found.
The Borderland Beat continues to exaggerate the violence in Piedras in today's blog when they write about 'daily street shootings' in Piedras. I am in Piedras and cannot find anyone that even heard about 'daily' street shootings. The real violence is news. Borderland Beat should stick to the real violence or perhaps they could report on, well, the border as it really is: no violence this weekend.
Although Piedras and many border cities remain dangerous, I am much more likely to be injured while driving to and from the border cities than actually being injured in the border-cities.
Over 200,000 people live in Piedras that are in no way involved with the drug cartels, politics, the army or the police. Guess how many of them were killed this year? That's right - none. Hmmmmmm. Hard to believe a blog or news service would exaggerate a situation.
