Morelia had a nice parade yesterday in grand scale that was relatively uneventful violence-wise, as in the past. Very enjoyableand nice to see it was mostly back to normal, though the parade lacked the numerous school marching bands from all over the state of Michoacán. That's a wise precaution in my opinion. There were, though, a couple knuckle-heads driving down Tata Vasco around the corner from me, that the police caught, that were driving and shooting their gun. I didn't hear the shots specifically with all the fireworks but did see the police later measuring distances and saw bullet marks in the sidewalk. To add to the stupidity of such actions, these guys chose the area where the police and army were placing baracades for staging the parade. It was very early in the morning and they were caught. I don't think anyone was injured, except hopefully these knot-heads as the police took them into custody. *Ahem*--the drunks who tried to crash the barricades were not shooting guns. The police shot at the drunks. One of the drunks was wounded by gunshot and two were injured by blows. One policeman had bruises on his legs from being smashed up against the barricade. All this according to last night's Quadratín and this morning's La Voz de Michoacán. http://www.mexicocooks.typepad.com
