Two families butchered in two days as Colombia’s peace process unravels
by Mathew Di Salvo November 25, 2018

Colombia has seen two massacres in just two days – upping the pressure on the government to respond to violence against rural communities that allegedly has spiked since President Ivan Duque took office.

. . .

Community leader and musician Serafin Diaz, 63, his wife and their adult son were murdered after four hooded men reportedly stormed their home.

. . .

Four members of another family were butchered in their home in San Juan de Uraba, a town in the Uraba region of Antioquia on Wednesday.

A 10-year-old boy, along with an 18-year-old, a 30-year-old woman and a man were beheaded, according to the country’s ombudsman’s office.

I am so frustrated. I am in San Diego. I've spent much of the last couple of days trying to educate/arguing with idiot Trumpsters who bottom line, do not care if any of these people live or die. They have lost their humanty.
