Posts: 4043Calm down man, you are going to give yourself a heart attack. The merchants are protesting because their earning power is being clipped for six months and they were offered no compensation. My guess is the mayor will negotiate and pull back some of the restrictions. If you aren't comfortable you should stay away and let everyone else decide for themselves. There is no need to stress over this.

Posts: 92Big protest today
Saw a video today of the protests in LLeras. One of those are locals kicking out regular tourists in Pergamino while having their coffee. If this doesn't tell you anything idk what does. Looks like it's the end of Medellin now for everyone. I really hope they are sticking to this until the end without regrets. Lots of people went unemployed and businesses shut down. Gentrification in full effect. I still love Medellin though. It just needed a long break. They will surely miss the tourists money from now on.

Well, we can speculate, the time will tell, Poblado is big, rich tourist will still be staying there, so probably they'll just move outside of banned area and try intercept the clients en route to Provenza / Lleras.

I know about 2 pm onward until about 7 pm there are more chicas out and around 5 pm there will often be so many people trying to use hotel Botero real that there will literally be a line and you have to wait a while to get a room, I hate that and try to avoid that so that's one of the reasons I like to go earlier in the day.
I agree that Sundays are slow and there are less chicas as well as less gringos and less local mongers basically less people in general and many of the cheap restaurants are closed on Sundays but I have gone on Sundays and found some gems that I hadn't spotted on weekdays so you never know even the slow day may be a good day.

Posts: 4043I'm pretty sure it is not illegal to be in a hotel room or anywhere else with people of that age. So, assuming he was not caught red handed and assuming the girls did not lodge a complaint, Colombia could conceivably have been on the wrong side of a habeas corpus claim if they locked him up. I've seen conflicting reports about whether he was detained. I haven't yet seen information about the basis of reported arrest warrants. The local media are characteristically over the top when a foreigner is implicated in any major crime. I think a good way to understand the reporting is to compare to transportation deaths. Child abuse committed by Colombians would be the equivalent of automobile accident deaths, something that happens several time a day every day. By comparison foreigner involvement in that sort of crime would be the equivalent of airplane crash deaths. Think of how airplane crash deaths are reported versus automobile accident deaths are reported. One is a very rare event and the other is so frequent it doesn't make the news unless there is an extraordinary angle, like the Colombian who was almost lynched in Medellin this week over rumors he abused his very young stepdaughter.

Posts: 4043Authorities believe he is in hiding in the United States. As you stated, he left Colombia and his last known whereabouts is the United States. At 36 years old, if he doesn't try to leave the US and he has enough resources to get by for a couple of years he should be able to work his way into gigs that don't require stringent background checks. His prospects are clearly much worse than they were before this incident.
