    Nearly every police report of shootings and other serious crimes seem to take place in that shithole which is governed by ultra Kaka, Fernando Espinoza:

    Quote

    The mayor of La Matanza has been indicted for sexual abuse
    Fernando Espinoza is accused of “indecent touching” of a former employee; he is also accused of having disregarded a court order to stay away from her; he was charged with $1,500,000

    The we have Lomas de Zamora, another Kuka hotbed and I used to ride to these areas for my work. Not any more because it's too dangerous.

    But back to Espinoza who is clearly a thug and seen here with the woman who Insurralde was with on that yacht in the med not long ago and you have to ask, why do these rats keep getting voted back in? How does the extreme violence help their cause?

    Procesaron por abuso sexual al intendente de La Matanza
    Fernando Espinoza está acusado de “tocamientos impúdicos” a una exempleada; también, de haber desoído la orden judicial de no acercarse a ella; lo embargaron…

    A pensioner shot and killed a 15 year old criminal who tried to steal his car in La Matanza yesterday. He shot him five times and the boy died instantly, while his two accomplices sped off in a huge pickup, also being fired at by said pensioner.

    The pensioner was not detained because the local prosecutor deemed it as self defence. Quite right too.

    I wonder how old the jubilado is? I’m picturing an ancient codger trained as a sharp shooter who’s still got it!

    He is 78. Shot the guy at point blank range as he got out the getaway car.

    The 15 yo is now apparently 16, according to the TV news.

    How brazen! And how traumatic for the family.

    Surely the robbers didn’t think they were getting a valuable haul, from a kid’s birthday celebration?

    And do jerks like this ever use any other kind of getaway vehicle besides motorbikes?

    I lived in Ramos for a bit, place is so run down and dangerous even the nicer streets have its perils being situated so close to places like La Tablada/Laferrère with such types transiting through.

    A bus driver was attacked by a robber with a knife, a passenger was robbed and the three scum escaped. The driver needed stiches in his head and received cuts to his hand and legs also.

    It's still a no man's land with no end in sight to crime which is totally out of control.

    This poor woman was simply trying to earn an honest living before she was shot in the head.

    Unbelievable.

    Era chofer en una aplicación y la mataron para robarle el auto: los vecinos cortan la Ruta 3 en La Matanza
    Candela Santa María tenía 24 años. Los asesinos pidieron un viaje, quisieron llevarse el vehículo y la mataron. Familiares y amigos protestan en Laferrere.

    Interesting piece of data in the article. Last year a car was robbed in Argentina every five minutes.

    looks like it wasn't a robbery after all , just a neighbour messing about.

    In any case, surrounded by police he has just killed himself.

    One less.....
