Medellin Reports

I thought el centro was just as safe as poblado according to many here 😯

[QUOTE=Nounce;2556508]That is crazy. I think this may not be today. Blue Touch wrote something like this in his post yesterday.[/QUOTE].

Hi all, I am coming to Medellin today with a friend and staying at Hotel M. Does anyone know if the bar next door is open? I know there is a curfew and weekend lockdown going on right now. TIA.

[QUOTE=Surfer500;2556513]If these videos have been taken within the last few days this makes sense to me in that I speculate there has been very little police presence at ground zero with the police being at other venues with active protesters.

This would explain the brazen conduct of the rateros. Simply put, if there's nobody around to bust them and / or chase after them what do they have to lose.

For any obvious gringos in Medellin right now this should serve as a warning to be very careful in El Centro right now.[/QUOTE]Imagine if all the street thugs came to the same conclusion that the REAL money was holed up in Hotel Premier Plaza and they all decided to storm the place.

Talk about sitting ducks!

[QUOTE=BrohamaJohn;2556454]So last time I was in Colombia, I didn't get a lick of pussy LOL. Might be doing something wrong. Then again I was in cartegena and prices are way too much my budget smh.

My standards are pretty high.

I am booking a flight back there based on the reports I'm seeing. Any hookups?

Also I real want to upgrade my account but my coinbase is stuck smh I've got so many issues man.

Anyway once I get on the ground I'll be good to go.[/QUOTE]You went to Colombia and came back still a virgin? Budget too high? You tried to fuck a Sofia Vergara looking type of chic? .

Doing a (8th) trip back in July and going to stay for 2-3 weeks. Anyone have any experience at Energy living and is it chica friendly, location, etc?

After each trip I end up saying "that was too risky" (AKA that 14 girl orgy with the girls at the Mansion after that police raid) and pray for my STD test instead of coming back a virgin.

[QUOTE=Paulie97;2556504]At least for me, and at this time, all of your links lead to the same video. However if you go to full screen and click the right arrow, you're led to the other two.

But it all demonstrates a point I've made for years. Most everyone counts on a "gentleman's robbery" where they'll be approached head on with a weapon and asked for valuables. But it's at least as likely that you'll be attacked by a group, have your ass whooped to varying degrees, are relieved of your goods and no questions are asked. Now of course there's guys in here too big and bad and / or smart to ever have that happen. Wink But the rest of you guys be watchful, and perhaps even opt not to walk around Centro for a while. Good luck.[/QUOTE]Listen up, they target the lone, weak and lane wolf so if you hold yourself like a pansy, walk like one, with a look of a deer in the headlamp with no self confidence this is who they target.

It is always the same targets, I have seen this played out in front of me as I have been standing in Botero Plaza.

You need to walk with confidence like you own the fucking place, and yes have awareness at all times, keep your head on a swivel, look at these punks in the eyes so they know not to fuck with you, I know this is hard for many to do, fuck these punks.

And it is not that I have any magical ninja moves rather they know not to fuck with confident people why? Because they will look for the lone, weak minded and easy targets.

I know that many of you will take offense to my words, fine so go run away being scared all the time of the dark, and simply don't venture into any areas other than perhaps the estrata 5 and 6 poblado areas.

Much love and respect to all.

The Tall Man.

[QUOTE=SavePros321;2556600]Imagine if all the street thugs came to the same conclusion that the REAL money was holed up in Hotel Premier Plaza and they all decided to storm the place.

Talk about sitting ducks![/QUOTE]Actually, the Premier Plaza is an "unofficial" police substation that the police frequent to use the WIFI and drink coffee. What appears to have been happening the last week as evidenced by the videos is that there is little police presence, hence the thugs have taken over. I remember many years ago this same thing happened in Tijuana when the police stopped patrolling the streets for a while, and everybody was fair game, and after the assault's, the thugs would slowly walk away because there was nobody to chase after them. It's unfortunate what is occurring right now with the locals getting jacked up but by the locals, but that has always occurred, but more so now. Typically we read about the gringo's getting ripped off, but now, a lot of the locals are afraid to be out during the unrest. Hopefully this coming Wednesday the planned National protest will be tamer and not further inflame the situation.

I'm planning on returning in three weeks, but if this protest stuff is still going on, along with the total weekend lockdowns, I might reconsider. For guys who frequent El Centro and can fly under the radar who are in Medellin right now, the desperation of the girls for clients has to be off the charts, albeit the selection might be very poor, but if your standards aren't too high, most anything will go with the available Chicas, and I doubt we would hear about BBBJ's being refused let alone all kinds of other nasty stuff for bargain basement prices. It's so sad what is occurring, the Pandemic is one thing with the surge, and now the protests. When will it ever end?

[QUOTE=Kulibali;2556612]You went to Colombia and came back still a virgin? Budget too high? You tried to fuck a Sofia Vergara looking type of chic? .[/QUOTE]Actually first time I went to Medellin (2019), I didn't find any either. I didn't know about Skokka or any other good sites. All I could find online was extremely overpriced ads. I went to a location that another site told me was a strip club and it wasn't, it was just a normal bar. I made one last attempt to find a massage parlor, but it was closed.

If I went back again, I could find it easily.

I'm curious, has anyone seen first hand any robberies in the Parque Lleras area and / or videos of such in the specific area?

The reason I ask, is because I went down a rabbit hole a few months ago when the topic of living in Bello was discussed. And I watched numerous videos and local news reports of robberies and violence that are normal in Medellin. However, it appears that the violence and robberies are ramping up in general, as of lately.

Also, what happened to the police presence in Botero, I didn't see any in the Facebook videos?

[QUOTE=IamLookin;2556585]I thought el centro was just as safe as poblado according to many here 😯[/QUOTE]Like everywhere else in the city, it really depends on what is your definition of El Centro and time of day

The regulars never say it is safe 24/7 or when police is not present. There was even warning about the very location where the guy was choked especially at night time.

[QUOTE=Surfer500;2556513]For any obvious gringos in Medellin right now this should serve as a warning to be very careful in El Centro right now.[/QUOTE]For anybody, not only obvious gringos, should avoid El Centro.

You have been encouraging gringos to come over the Botero for many years despite serious warnings from informed members.

Rateros threw stones at Premier Plaza and other buildings, and some gringos got robbed. A few rateros were swinging 15-20" knives.

You should reflect about what you have been writing for years.
