1. This is so sad. He was 23 years old. Killed for daring to protest. So typical
of right-wing Latin American countries.

Isn't it interesting they are ALL turning away from this filth and replacing their fascist leaders with leftists, and in LANDSLIDE elections, as well. Eventually the pracise of controlling Latin America through a small group of landed gentry and corruptible ambitious politicians happy to sell out the resources of their countries to US multi-nationals is going to be getting harder, and harder as their solidarity builds. Of course all efforts will be made to continue to divide and conquer, but they are going to fail this time, as Latin American people are angry and tired of it all. They've had enough.

Here's a photo of the murder victim after the local constabulary dropped him for his crime of protest, from a Colombian newspaper owned by the family of Colombia's Defense Minister, Juan Manuel Santos:
