At least not as dramatic. A similar -but even worse- situation took place in Medellin about 19 years ago (1990). Threats from Medellin Cartel to Police, followed by flyers saying the same that apparently they say now: "Nobody on the streets after 10 pm, or The Yellow Cab will shoot you" Some years later (1994) while I was in military service (not as a volunteer) on the Police, somebody from the force formerly known as F-2 told me that this time were called "The War" and that the people who put these flyers on crculation in (1990) and riot some city places shooting everybody who were on streets after 10 pm were the Police.. everybody who can remember that fatal years heard about "El Taxi Amarillo" (the yellow cab) from where the bullets were coming from if you were on the streets after 10 pm. I don't think that something such as that situation will take place again. I believe that somebody is tryin' to make us feel the same way again to avoid us to forget our past and turn our memories to actual terror and control us with black intentions. We can't allow this violence situation to come back again. Don't let our city down!!!! Stop empowering the violents!!!! Things are not like the article says. At least not as dramatic.

Many of my neighbors including myself walk our dogs after 10 pm without any problems... I was glad to see this article and will keep up with the latest findings... thank you....
