"Three murders and three wounded over the weekend in Ensenada

September is already the most violent month so far this year, with 31 victims -184 in the year-, two more than June and August

Three men were killed and three others were injured during the weekend in the municipality of Ensenada, which makes September the most violent month of the year with 31 victims, 184 in total.

The Attorney General's Office announced that on Saturday, September 28, at 9:50 p.m., C-4 reported via radio that at the Intersection of the San Luis and Esteban Cantú ramp streets, on board a ravine, it was located the body of a person who had been declared deceased.
It was the body of a man, who had a gun projectile injury on the left side of the chest.

 
Almost an hour later, at 22:40 on the same Saturday, derived from a call to the 911 emergency line, elements of the Municipal Public Security Directorate attended a report referring to a person injured by a gun fire in the vicinity from the Morelos neighborhood.

 
Officers moved to Mecánicos y Roble Street where they had a conscious man in sight with a wound at first sight on the left foot, who identified himself and told them that moments before he had been injured and that his assailants had given the leak in a vehicle that did not provide characteristics and in an unknown direction.

 
The individual was transferred to receive medical attention to a hospital and the corresponding acts were prepared to give notice to the State Attorney General's Office for the corresponding investigation.

 
At eight minutes another person was reported injured in one eye by a firearm projectile, inside his home in Rancho 6, El Salitral, Maneadero Delegation.

 
Municipal Police officers corroborated the incident and requested the presence of paramedics, who declared the injured person dead.
A woman interviewed the agents and told them that some men had been responsible for the crime. The deceased was identified as Basilio Omar, 28 years old.

 
On Sunday at 3:15 p.m. another man was shot in the face, chest and right forearm, in the backyard of a home located on Libertad Street, between Flor de Liz and Margaritas, Colonia Márquez de León.

 
TWO WOUNDS IN INDECO LOMITAS
 
The violent events of Sunday culminated in the attack with bullets against two men, in the Indeco Lomitas neighborhood.

 
According to the Municipal Public Security fact sheet, at 11:01 p.m. on Sunday, September 29, derived from a call to the 911 emergency line, officers from the Municipal Public Security Directorate attended a report concerning gun shots from fire and two injured people in the immediate vicinity of the Indeco Lomitas colony.

 
Personnel went to Azucena Street between Pino and Roble where on the street they saw a conscious man lying with blood stains at the height of the abdomen; The injured person was identified and said to be 34 years old, while inside a house they found another man with eye injuries in the legs, who identified himself and said he was 22 years old, so the agents requested support from an ambulance .
Paramedics transferred the men to receive medical attention to a hospital and the area was cordoned off for delivery to personnel of the State Attorney General's Office for the corresponding investigation."

Savage Earth Heart
by, Michael Scott - The Waterboys

(Which will be read by Daca Bob this evening @ The Grotto)

"Ooooh!

...let me see the savage
I want to see the savage coming
crashing through your face
I want to be there
when the savage comes
I want to be there
when the savage comes
When your savage earth heart
cuts through
I want to be a witness
or a victim to your spell
Crackling in lightening
dressed in shadows
Red like a carousel
I want to be there
when the savage comes
I want to be there
when the savage comes
when your savage earth heart
...cuts through
Will you lay all of your
deepest wildest secrets bare?
Will you let all of those
rumbling old gods take rage?
I want to be there
when the savage comes
I want to be there
when the savage comes
When your savage earth heart
cuts through!
Then I was taken smoothly
by the vulture of the soul
That hideous strength
that numbs the tongue
And he led me like a cinder
through the fields of hell
to doubt my friends and to hate myself
But when my savage earth heart
...cuts through
When my savage earth heart
cuts through
Then my savage earth heart
...cuts through
And the culture of the soul laid waste"

Turning away from the Impeachment Inquiry which is holding everyone's attention as the minutes tick by, a quick look at the local drug war stats for the month of September.   What we have noticed this month is that there were periods of inactivity as far as the killings have gone.  Then suddenly multiple homicides, then a pause, then more multiple homicides.  Earlier this month  there was a rash of dismembered bodies which has subsided, but still there are bodies.  


 - On 09/16 @ 10:16 am, Zeta reported at that point since the beginning of the month, Tijuana  registered 95 executions, which brought the YTD total in TIJ to 1,629 people killed.  This particular grouping included two burned bodies:

Caravana de Africanos Podria Salir de Chiapas Hacia Baja California
Por, Manuel Ayala

"African caravan could leave Chiapas towards Baja California

 A group of African migrants who are detained at the Siglo XXI immigration station in Tapachula, Chiapas, could leave there in the next few days and head towards Baja California, with the intention of being able to cross into the United States.

This was announced this morning Manuel Marín Salazar, head of the National Institute of Migration (INM) in the State, after the security meeting held daily by state and federal authorities in the facilities of the Federal Police.
 
The official shared that there is information that this African delegation is organizing so that in case they are not given an exit pass in that southern station of migration, they will go by caravan to this state, either to Tijuana or Mexicali.
 
He explained that currently the Federal Government is not delivering the so-called safe passages so that migrants can travel for 20 days through the Mexican territory, as previously; This determination was taken as a containment measure so that foreigners do not arrive precisely at the northern border, a situation in which Africans have been protesting for a few weeks.
 
He said that at the moment these people are “contained” on the southern border, but it may be that at some point they leave for this region.
 
Jaime Bonilla Valdez, elected governor of the state, shared that this situation worries him because they are still working with the shelters, however, he emphasized that the issue will be followed up so that in case migrants arrive, they will see how they are will receive and attend, in addition to give their respective documentation."

There is no mention of how many of the African Migrantes we should expect to see, or when they may arrive or of their plight in OaxaCA...dEMOCRACY nOW COVERS THAT ASPECT:

Mexico Pushes Back against Trumps Asylum Ban As Groups Warn Of Crisis - 09/13: 

Excerpt:

 "This comes as tens of thousands of asylum seekers are stuck in border cities on the Mexican side, waiting to be processed for initial asylum proceedings in the United States. At the Tijuana-San Diego border alone, there are more than 10,000 migrants on the waiting list to turn themselves in to U.S. immigration officials. The binational legal aid group Al Otro Lado tweeted, “We r the only OTG org here providing legal aid. This is a death sentence for most our clients. Our hearts are broken + we’re exhausted.”

 Mas de 10Mil Migrantes Han Sido Retornadosna BC Para Esperar Protocolo de Asilo
Por, Manuel Ayala - 09/23

"More than 10 thousand migrants have been returned to BC to await asylum protocol

Manuel Marín Salazar, in charge of the delegation of the National Institute of Migration (INM) in Baja California, shared this morning that since January to date more than 10,000 migrants have been returned to the state, to wait here for their asylum processes requested to States United, as part of the bilateral agreements and the Migrant Protection Protocol (PPE).

During his participation with Grupo 21 Tijuana, the federal official explained that 74 percent of migrants have entered through this border and 36% through Mexicali; An average of 150 returned daily, most of these are families with young children, all of Central American origin.
He stressed that this amount does not mean that everyone is or is still in the state, since some have chosen to return to their countries of origin or have gone to other states.

 
Marín Salazar added that of these people, a total of two thousand 317 have requested and received their work certificates, to be able to work in the country while they are waiting for their next appointments with the immigration court of the neighboring country.

 
Regarding the asylum processes, he said that there are about 25 people who know they are already in their second, third or fourth appointment for the approval of the applications, however, they do not keep an accounting of how many are those who already have it accomplished.
On the issue of deported Mexicans, the official said that there are approximately 150 people who receive daily, 60% for Tijuana and 40% for Mexicali.

 
By the way, he stressed that to date they have reduced up to 50% in the number of expatriates, "so they have nothing to do with the famous raids that have been mentioned," he said.

 
Finally, he said that although the INM is part of the security and development coordination of the new migrant shelter, it still does not know where the federal shelter will be besieged, nor when it will start operations."

It's all bad news for the most part, but this one is beyond cruel :


 ~  From Democracy Now !

U.S. Denies Protected Status to Bahamians as 2,500 Listed as Missing

"In the Bahamas, authorities have published a list of 2,500 people who went missing after Hurricane Dorian ravaged the island nation in early September as a Category 5 storm. The official death toll stands at 50, but Prime Minister Hubert Minnis warned Wednesday the number is likely to soar. Compounding the Bahamas’ misery is a massive oil spill that’s begun to spread into the ocean off the southern coast of Grand Bahama island after Hurricane Dorian blew the lids off six giant crude oil tanks.


This comes as multiple news outlets reported the Trump administration has decided not to grant temporary protected status to Bahamians, which would allow them to work and live in the U.S. until it’s safe for them to return home. In response, the National Immigration Law Center tweeted, “For the Trump admin to deny TPS to those seeking shelter is yet another example of their sheer cruelty.”


On Wednesday, the Miami Herald reported a 12-year-old Bahamian girl whose home was destroyed by the hurricane was separated from her family by U.S. authorities after arriving in South Florida. The girl, Kaytora Paul, had arrived with her godmother at an airport in West Palm Beach and was taken into the custody of the Department of Health and Human Services and moved to a facility for unaccompanied immigrant children in Miami-Dade County."


Too bad they can't impeach him for that one alone.

During his participation with Grupo 21 Tijuana, the federal official explained that 74 percent of migrants have entered through this border and 36% through Mexicali; An average of 150 returned daily, most of these are families with young children, all of Central American origin.
He stressed that this amount does not mean that everyone is or is still in the state, since some have chosen to return to their countries of origin or have gone to other states.

 
Marín Salazar added that of these people, a total of two thousand 317 have requested and received their work certificates, to be able to work in the country while they are waiting for their next appointments with the immigration court of the neighboring country.

 
Regarding the asylum processes, he said that there are about 25 people who know they are already in their second, third or fourth appointment for the approval of the applications, however, they do not keep an accounting of how many are those who already have it accomplished.
On the issue of deported Mexicans, the official said that there are approximately 150 people who receive daily, 60% for Tijuana and 40% for Mexicali.

 
By the way, he stressed that to date they have reduced up to 50% in the number of expatriates, "so they have nothing to do with the famous raids that have been mentioned," he said.

 
Finally, he said that although the INM is part of the security and development coordination of the new migrant shelter, it still does not know where the federal shelter will be besieged, nor when it will start operations."

It's all bad news for the most part, but this one is beyond cruel :

U.S. Denies Protected Status to Bahamians as 2,500 Listed as Missing

"In the Bahamas, authorities have published a list of 2,500 people who went missing after Hurricane Dorian ravaged the island nation in early September as a Category 5 storm. The official death toll stands at 50, but Prime Minister Hubert Minnis warned Wednesday the number is likely to soar. Compounding the Bahamas’ misery is a massive oil spill that’s begun to spread into the ocean off the southern coast of Grand Bahama island after Hurricane Dorian blew the lids off six giant crude oil tanks.


This comes as multiple news outlets reported the Trump administration has decided not to grant temporary protected status to Bahamians, which would allow them to work and live in the U.S. until it’s safe for them to return home. In response, the National Immigration Law Center tweeted, “For the Trump admin to deny TPS to those seeking shelter is yet another example of their sheer cruelty.”


On Wednesday, the Miami Herald reported a 12-year-old Bahamian girl whose home was destroyed by the hurricane was separated from her family by U.S. authorities after arriving in South Florida. The girl, Kaytora Paul, had arrived with her godmother at an airport in West Palm Beach and was taken into the custody of the Department of Health and Human Services and moved to a facility for unaccompanied immigrant children in Miami-Dade County."


Too bad they can't impeach him for that one alone.

There are eight of them...feeding them twice a day...they are notorious ! Don't look at the wall which I was priming, everything stopped when my knee gave out.

Meanwhile, I am being held hostage by ruthless feral kittens.  Kittens to the left of me, kittens to right! We'll start to trap them in about another week to take them in to be spade and get shots, but the only animal shelter in Rosarito can't take them even tho I offered to pay for their food and medical.  Cannot just release them anywhere, so looks like they will be released here, which is kind of crazy, because they can't come in the house. Still unable to handle them at all, they hiss and run.

Paris had a bad ear infection which even after treated down here, returned .  She has an appointment (the earliest date I could get) at the Dermatology Clinic next to VCA in Kearney Mesa next Friday the 27th, so until then she is not feeling real great and I'll miss the big march up in San Diego. Giving her 50 mg. of Benedryl at night as prescribed, cool green tea & awapuii wipes on her tummies which is red, yogurt and the coconut oil which she loves and coconut baths and keeping the A/C on for her with a vornado fan. This could be a yeast infection. I'll be back with stats updates.
