A crime reporter who wrote for a Los Cabos blog was murdered yesterday.

Published by DD from material at Colectivo Pericu and Mexico News Daily
 


A crime reporter who wrote for a Los Cabos blog was murdered yesterday.

Minutes before noon on Good Friday in La Paz,  Maximino Rodríguez Palacios had just parked his car in a handicap parking space outside of the store known as  City Club Forjadores,  As he was getting out of his blue Honda sedan  to go get a wheel chair for his disabled wife so they could go shopping,  gunfire, apparently from high powered rifles,  erupted from a white pickup truck behind his car. 

His wife was not injured but he died at the scene and his lifeless body fell back into the car. 
 

Rodriguez, 73, was the crime beat reporter for the online blog Colectivo Pericú and was also a correspondent for the newspapers El Heraldo and Excélsior, writing a column on security.

Maximino Rodríguez Palacios became the fourth journalist to be killed in Mexico in less than two months.  He was the second journalist targeted in the state in less than a month. 


Julio Omar Gómez Sánchez survived an attack in Cabo San Lucas March 28, but his bodyguard was killed.


The blog Colectivo Pericu  issued a statement saying ; 

"Collective Pericú firmly rejects this attack against a comrade, as well as the members of the journalistic guild, especially those who cover high-impact events. In the same way, we demand from the authorities their application in clarifying this and many other crimes that remain unpunished and have left families shattered by pain.

We unite in this pain that grips those who knew him.  . We make it clear that his professional work always lived up to the information needs of the population.. With courage, Max Rodríguez along with his colleagues, was always in the first line to fully comply with their  work of transmitting the facts in real time.  .

Colectivo Pericú, a means of citizen denunciation, is in mourning. We know that from today nothing will be the same for us. Your comrades Cuauhtémoc Morgan and Hermelinda Vargas, as well as the journalistic union that dealt with you friend Max, we will be in permanent demand that justice be done before the abomination that has happened.

May God receive you in your Holy Glory!

    4. @9:53 Hustler. If you were a cop and died protecting someone would you ask "was it worth it?"
      If you were a soldier and you died defending your country would you ask "was it worth it"?

      They died for what they believed in. Do you have that much strength of character?

      Right? But on his small mind when someone reply to his comments he thinks we're hating and that ain't even the case, it's just facts.
      Be original sol prendido. That's all.

  5. Believe it or not some of these reporters focus on ONE cartel because the other cartel is paying them to put them on blast. That's when the other cartel goes and gets revenge. There are sell outs in every trade.
    . My respects if he was writing true justice and was equal to other cartel violence but not likely. Just like the sinaloa articles are super scared so when they write a story about cds it's just glorifying them if not they don't write nothing at all..

  6. Sad, I feel bad for my people who suffer in the hands of these criminals.

    2. @8:52 Colectivo Pericu is a blog that allows comments just like BB. I assume you read the comments on BB or you wouldn't be posting here. If you do read the comments here on BB you know that comments from readers are not always the best source of news helping you form an opinion.

    3. DD I don't read nothing but bb, and go through the comments ten times a day behind my wife's back and at dinner.
      I went to check the pericu because I saw the link, their comments are charming, I usually google the dirt or the dirty linen in spanish or english, specially on people or big corporations, but BB is home.
      Thanks for helping this blog, same for DON OTIS, the other contributors and readers and most of all la chiba, say hi🐐

    3. 5:50 if "gossip" is a death penalty crime, imagine what the murderers and sicarios and the drug traffickers deserve,
      they all would give up their bosses and freely gossip about them to save their own arses from getting quartered.

  10. Its most often after reporting on business and political links that these journalists get killed. Why dont we bring to light what they wrote about to shed some light on who very likely might have killed them

    2. @6:25 and 11:34. We work our ass off to get up the stories that we do. But I think you hit a brilliant idea. "Why don't WE bring to light". If you guys would follow the hyper link to the publication or blog that is given with those stories, You can search that site for stories the murdered reports had been working on and then write us a story for BB to publish with you as guest reporters.

  11. Why do they target journalist?

    1. Cause em tell da truth homz!

    2. Because the journalist have an agenda and write they're propaganda to the people, which cartels don't like because some journalist word things in ways that put a bad name on the cartel. That's a no, no. But the reporters don't learn in Mexico.

    3. They can get away with it . Rareley do they target officials in the USA that are real threat . They understand that we will target them from end to end of their whole operation .
      Here is something I recently read about the Heroin epidemic in Florida . https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2017/04/11/fla-sheriff-tells-heroin-dealers-swat-blow-doors-off-hinges/100316720/

    5. @9:51: yaaa...so the job of the reporters is to say that all of the boys of all of the cartels are really nice and gentle and never do any harm to innocent gentes? What do you say to them if I grab your 12 year old daughter tomorrow? I think you would plead for them to help find her. You can't be that stupid..or maybe you are.

    2. BB I am pretty sure I replied to this comment thinking it was in reference to Duartes wife. Looking at the grave mistake at hand . Please note this is not intended towards reporters wife . Rather the scumbags wife of Duarte.
      Apologies.

  17. Hey BB , there's a story circulating face about a "Border Angel's activist out of San Diego his name is Hugo Chavez. He went missing after he live streamed a video on his FB where he's asking for help ,because a group of people were stalking him and following him. He was in the Border of Mexico St and I believe Coahuila. The video shows the distress in him and he also shows the vehicles that are following him. The people that were doing so we're in buses. He states how they had already tried cornering him but he somehow got away,he was running out of money and no one wanted to help him. Please look into this and post something about this story to help bring him home safely

    1. I just read about this. How awful! Why in the world would people want to stalk him? Don't the cartels have bigger fish to fry? I'm not doubting the story. I suspect it's all about control and power. It is horrible.

    2. I just posted about this in the Duarte thread. It's not up yet. He was threatened while working in Tijuana with the Haitians. He says in the FB post that they followed him to Puebla state:

    3. @ 9:12 He had discovered that a criminal group had been extortioning and kidnapping a group of central American imigrants. Somehow he got involved and opened his mouth for them. He was traveling with a large group of people but somehow got left behind. I'm not sure how that happened? Anyways he's now considered missing and there's a large search for him now. He's been missing Thursday, April 13. His name is Hugo Castro. A Border Angels activist. Just trying to help people. His live video he posted on his Facebook is still active.

      Delete
    4. Missing San Diego Activist Has Been Found Alive:

      "We communicate to our friends, family, that Hugo was found alive. That's all we can share. Thank you to those who intervened," said Castro's partner, Gaba Cortes on her Facebook, where she has been posting developments since he disappeared Thursday.

  21. Another fine example of the lack for protection these journalists have reporting against crimes.
    Where journalists are under siege from organized crime and government corruption.
    Voiceless are their cries for justice in a country who despises truth in journalism. A country torn by unprecedented violence and unwanted immigrants from its neighbors. No hope for a safe haven. Rather what was has diminished and withered in tatters.
    A humanitarian crisis is clearly evident where world nations must take actions to protect these heroes in a world plagued by war.
    How many more will fall perilous before any actions are taken?
    Wake up! Stand by your brothers and applaud for justice Is the cry every newspaper should partake in.
    And may God be kind and generous with your soul.
    Darkness will fall upon us all if the press is hindered.

  23. 7:00 at the top of this report is a link to "Colectivo Pericu", and "Mexico News Daily", but the good stuff is on the comments where people that knew max speak their mind about him and what, who, why may have gone on with his murder, accused are the PAN party, the narcos he out down, 5he narcos he elevated, reports he was about to publish...
    --and his wheel chair bound wife that helped him be the best chayotero repkrter there could be (meaning he was on the take), a sin other chayoteros won't forgive.

  24. PS check Hermelinda Vargas of Colectivó Pericu, she pretty.

    1. I am glad you think she is pretty . I think she is really BRAVE. She has been doing this at Colectivo Pericue for a long time now. If I am not mistaken , her brother has been missing for a couple of years too. They get ALOT of threats and really try to do good work. ( Pericue is the name of the Indigenous people of southern Baja peninsula).
      EL SudCaliforniano is worse than ever and they brag about how many cruise ships will be coming into CSL and that the tourists won't notice anything about The War in BCS, which is true unless you know and talk to the locals who will be more than happy to fill you in on how it is affecting their lives.
      There was an unconfirmed report of a journalist being killed in LORETO, ( Pueblo Mágico -)) with a BAT.
      My heartfelt thoughts go out to all at CP and BRAVE journalists everywhere.
      Speak truth to power.

    2. The mexican government pays for free speech, that pay is called "chayote". Sometimes the pay consists of murder, if the reporter takes too many liberties and badmouthed them or their sicarios.

  26. Other cartel leaders should take after Paco Cerda. He recently "invited" a reporter to accompany him to a restaurant in Reynosa. Carrying a large Nike duffle bag, Paco and the reporter entered the restaurant. Paco pulled 3 severed heads from the duffle bag and placed them on a table with patrons all around. He then looked at the reporter and said "Ahora escribe sobre eso". The reporter transferred to the sports department the next day and began reporting on the Topos de Reynosa Futbol Club.
