‘Social cleansing’ threats flood towns in northwest Colombia

‘Social cleansing’ threats flood towns in northwest Colombia
Posted by Adriaan Alsema on Nov 16, 2015

Authorities in at least two towns in northwestern Colombia are on high alert after pamphlets appeared that warned about pending “social cleansing” operations.

The pamphlets appeared in the towns of La Ceja and Apartado, both located in the Antioquia province. Also in the town of Remedios, threatening pamphlets were reportedly handed out, resulting in local shopkeepers to keep their establishments shut.

In La Ceja, a pamphlet signed by “New Generation,” one of multiple neo-paramilitary groups formed during the demobilization of paramilitary organization AUC, threatened to kill five determined “bums.”

The pamphlets had been going around since last week, warning the “bums” they will be killed while imposing a 9PM curfew on the entire population.One of the threatened persons was subsequently assassinated.

to paralyze their neighbors with fear and horror, but they just don't like it if leftists are allowed to live, or conspicuous drunks, or single mothers, or even some kinds of street vendors.

Only the best for the fascists of the world.
