I saw that on the news, but because of the language didn't fully understand it.
Very sad, savage and brutal. Surprised they didn't just kill him.

Stealing cattle has increased all over Colombia.In my area there has been alot of meetings with the police,politicians and farmers with very little help or answers.This will get worse over time as beef prices keep going up and spreading all the displaced all over the country with no jobs or money.
This is barbaric, stealing cattle is a death sentence not handicapping some one.

No doubt the boy deserved some form of punishment like incarceration. But death! I think it's a little harsh. Where it happened in arjona is a dangerous place. My wife's parents own a business their and have a house that they rent out. They are for ever having problems with extortions, dead beat tenants etc...
Colombia has changed a fair bit in the year I've been out of the country. What little spring in their step they use to have in my eyes has disappeared. IMO.

In Colombia there is no juvenile jails and the police usally dont even take the time to deal with minors.The minors that are criminals know this and have no respect for the law.Until the Police corruption is fixed in Colombia and the law abiding people can depend on them to do their jobs as police.There will be people that will defend their family and property as they should.

My wife tells me that the news channel on the TV stated that it was all a mistake, the kid did not steal. Now, how do you make restitution to someone you falsely accused and punished. This kid has no life, no future except agony. I can't even image a life without hands.

BF What I understand at this point the kid has not said who did this to him.This would mean that the News Channel is only going off of the kids words that he was not stealing cattle.
If this kid is innocent they need to do everything they can to make the person pay dearly for their actions done to this kid.On the other hand if this kid is quilty I think he got off easy.
