IS JUSTICE ON HOLD IN BROWNTOWN, CAMERON COUNTY?
---------------------------------------------------------------
By <strong>Juan Montoya</strong><br />It's been more than a year since the alleged illegal Civil Service hiring of Roberto Cadriel by Cameron County has been under investigation by county investigators and there still seems to be little progress made in the case.<br />And it's been months now since city health inspector Willie Gonzales shot and paralyzed a man and left a woman wounded in the parking lot of a popular nightclub here.<br />To date, not only has the city police not filed any charges or arrested Gonzales, but it has remained mum on the case. In fact, the city has not even acknowledged the city official was involved.<br />Contrast this to the time that city officers shot and killed a student at Cummings Middle School. That same day Cabler showed up a press conference displaying a picture of the pellet gun said to be carried by the teenager. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVKVzIoQ8TFW8hLOHy14KAmKusevqzvXe1VzrJ6JeVZCIzrIcYQAclTzmPPLr1gzz8pTTn_l6R_GuS2noKrvhhyI8hGnxgeU17aLw5yDIJjPqasj-TqjacxyKe9qJpeH7Yg8rCX-AUCgY/s1600/cabler.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVKVzIoQ8TFW8hLOHy14KAmKusevqzvXe1VzrJ6JeVZCIzrIcYQAclTzmPPLr1gzz8pTTn_l6R_GuS2noKrvhhyI8hGnxgeU17aLw5yDIJjPqasj-TqjacxyKe9qJpeH7Yg8rCX-AUCgY/s320/cabler.jpg" width="320" /></a>And shall we also say it? It has now been months since a clerk at Aurora de la Garza's Cameron County District Clerk's child support collections office was found to have embezzled between $8,000 and $10,000 and we still haven't got to the bottom of that case. Melinda Gilman Gonzalez is said to gave resigned from her position at the county collection office for child support payments.<br />But that is only the tip of the iceberg.<br />In order to amass a $8,000 to $10,000 heist over time, it is only logical to assume that the indications of the pilfering were evident to her superiors, including De la Garza, way before the resignation occurred.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA7tv0ML88NdaxJjU2i-1YgZVkS8iH5HniwvFQuy_mXoN5-BUh94l-aGx_FtVp9cxeNpLEd6DKXtnOxMSlwbVaFhkCeSEqgkZps5Lw7Xy5jrXeKpa11Znw7SoCYEYvLcJWoNWmRngBUwc/s1600/aurora.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA7tv0ML88NdaxJjU2i-1YgZVkS8iH5HniwvFQuy_mXoN5-BUh94l-aGx_FtVp9cxeNpLEd6DKXtnOxMSlwbVaFhkCeSEqgkZps5Lw7Xy5jrXeKpa11Znw7SoCYEYvLcJWoNWmRngBUwc/s200/aurora.jpg" width="132" /></a></div>Why wasn't it discovered before?<br />Or was it discovered and then allowed to go on while suitable "arrangement" was found ?<br />These questions are circulating around the county and many are wondering whether Melinda G. Gonzalez's boss â€" after she had discovered the extent of the theft â€" herself attempted to sweep the scandal under the rug to save the DA's office, and her own reputation, the embarrassment of airing the issue to the public.<br />Gonzalez resigned on July 27, reported to the sheriff on the 30th and then was booked before Magistrate Luis Saenz on August 6. What happened in the meantime?<br />There are even some reports that affidavits exist in both the Aurora de la Garza office embezzlement case that indicate some efforts were made to keep the matter quiet, as well as in the Cadriel hiring scandal that some international bridge employees may have been told Hernandez wanted his brother-in-law hired.<br />We are now in October. <br />And now, as we move on to the November 6 elections, will the lame-duck Cameron County District Attorney suddenly spring into action and make his office accessible and available to the reams of evidence that has been gathered allegedly showing that the campaign worker of Democratic JP 2-2 candidate Erin Hernandez Garcia committed massive voter fraud to eke out a win over contender Yolanda Begum?<br />Word has it that the evidence is already waiting for the DA's office to make a decision on the case. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLlLkxHNqTChbGhwuGCtWU83RYKEE4-wsXZfPMRZCw64-VK9wNc313grXbmO2hXgqv8-ZCeNQoBWUb30F5aFkhSWtiqqEa6_BB0OkMqyP9wCTN9Rie7sskOIeiYTLJVhT7ywMaVNk14S8/s1600/Erin+H_+Garcia+Campaign+Kickoff+Party.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLlLkxHNqTChbGhwuGCtWU83RYKEE4-wsXZfPMRZCw64-VK9wNc313grXbmO2hXgqv8-ZCeNQoBWUb30F5aFkhSWtiqqEa6_BB0OkMqyP9wCTN9Rie7sskOIeiYTLJVhT7ywMaVNk14S8/s320/Erin+H_+Garcia+Campaign+Kickoff+Party.jpg" width="212" /></a>For the uninitiated, Cadriel is the brother-in-law of Cameron County Precinct 2 commissioner Ernie Hernandez. Erin Hernandez is the daughter of the commissioner. Norma Hernandez, his wife, is said to also be included among the names gathered in the voter fraud query.<br />Melinda Gilman Gonzales' stepdad Peter and her mom are both employed by the DA's office. Willie Gonzales is the son of former longtime city secretary Lydia Gonzales, a close ally of City Manager Charlie Cabler. <br />The city has just acquired a new police chief, Orlando Rodriguez, who for the most part has proven to be less than dynamic in his role as the top law enforcement official in Browntown.<br />Are these men running interference for the son of their old acquaintance? <br />We have learned that the victim of the nightclub shooting has already acquired the services of an attorney and that it will only be a matter of time before the papers are filed in court. Will the city officials' apparent recalcitrance to even acknowledge the shooting could translate into a healthy settlement for the victims at the expense of the city?<br />With DA Armando Villalobos' term coming to an end in January and his trial for bribery and racketeering scheduled for April 2013, we suspect things will be put on hold at that office. But in the case of the Brownsville shooter, what's the excuse?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6016803033174468094-2709278245210956382?l=rrunrrun.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>

DO THE MEXICANS REALLY HAVE THE SAN FERNANDO MASSACRE MASTERMIND?
---------------------------------------------------------------
By <strong>Juan Montoya</strong><br />By now those of us who have lived along the border and are used to high falutin' <em>pronunciamientos</em> of Mexican law enforcement have grown to be skeptics of their claims.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWvhXGO-VyXpPi0LY8R3u_bgwtBNzjl7ZSsN5rUCt-PpHokSqNky00J1l7Db1pNDVxnzCRiDCq-DRocGRKJJ8hee3byzmCi2DtFdM6dIFl1t_iTPJYf6wLkDzkq6943DU5aVYhPworFKY/s1600/pgr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="218" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWvhXGO-VyXpPi0LY8R3u_bgwtBNzjl7ZSsN5rUCt-PpHokSqNky00J1l7Db1pNDVxnzCRiDCq-DRocGRKJJ8hee3byzmCi2DtFdM6dIFl1t_iTPJYf6wLkDzkq6943DU5aVYhPworFKY/s320/pgr.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>That's why we are watching and judging the claims by the Mexican PGR with a hefty grain of salt that they have captured the mastermind of the San Fernando, Tamps. massacre said to be responsible for ordering the deaths of at least 83 people in April 2011 who were shot and whose bodies were burned and buried in two clandestine mass graves in the municipality.<br />The Mexican Marines reported the capture of Salvador Alfonso Martinez Escobedo (aka <i>La Ardilla</i>) in Nuevo Laredo on Saturday. He was then transferred to federal custody in Mexico City, the Marina Armada announced.<br />The arrest was announced with great fanfare by the PGR and none other than Mexican President Felipe Calderon who twitted that the capture of the reported to be the boss of an unnamed criminal organization operating in the states of Tamaulipas, Nuevo Leon and Coahuila. He is charged with perpetrating the massacre of Mexican nationals and Central American immigrants who were removed from buses traveling through northern Mexico and who refused to join the organization as soldiers and drug runners.<br />The Mexican government has made some claims in their war on the criminal organizations before. Unfortunately, some of the claims have been found to be overly magnified. Within the past three months, the government also claimed that they had captured a near relative of El Chapo Guzman, only to be embarrassed when the suspect turned out to be a different person.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEFimfnWOfR5ilGAq6sg4VQZQNMHgvz7rkyvj6SJANr8z2CKXjyPjvjwIEgJyY5uqGqfQ4hrooa0-D54XjYpnuR-8I9-IjwOSX3gStBbVQd30-UaH38eFho1urL6tHJBJrinakeGNQNaA/s1600/migrants.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEFimfnWOfR5ilGAq6sg4VQZQNMHgvz7rkyvj6SJANr8z2CKXjyPjvjwIEgJyY5uqGqfQ4hrooa0-D54XjYpnuR-8I9-IjwOSX3gStBbVQd30-UaH38eFho1urL6tHJBJrinakeGNQNaA/s1600/migrants.jpg" /></a>On July 17, 2011, Federal police said Edgar Huerta Montiel, 22, told them he led the capture of two freight trucks packed with undocumented migrants in the state of Tamaulipas, then killed 10 of the victims. He intended to hijack the two buses so the Zetas could maintain control over these people and prevent the Gulf Cartel from recruiting them.<br />Montiel said he was following orders from Martinez Escobedo.<br />The bodies of the 72 migrants were found in August on a ranch in San Fernando after one member of the group escaped. In the same area, authorities found graves containing the remains of nearly 200 people believed kidnapped from buses headed toward the border<br />The San Fernando massacre catapulted the ongoing war between the government and cartel organizations in northern Mexico into the international arena. To date, running gun battles are a common-day occurrence in most areas along the northern Mexico border with the United States.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6016803033174468094-7349832894851380143?l=rrunrrun.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>
