Monday, February 10, 2014: No matter how much lipstick you slap on a pig, at the end of the day it’s still a pig. One cannot get angry for the pig being, well, a pig. Pigs are charming yet dirty animals. They roll around in their own feces yet all humans love to eat bacon, after all it is the gateway meat. Let’s not forget pork, pig ears, pig feet, etc. It’s a great metaphor for the 1st Family Court in Tijuana.
This weekend I spent a lot of time talking to people who know about such things. The common denominator during these conversations was how navigate the notoriously corrupt court systems in Mexico. They are notoriously corrupt and everyone on the planet knows it. In a lot of cases they are not shy about it. We have seen it first hand time and again.
So, Lourdes doesn’t particularly like Adriana Coronel Tenorio (AKA Adriana Howitt Coronel, Ari Coronel, Ari Coronel Tenorio, Ari Howitt, Ari Howitt Coronel). Then again, not many people do. Lourdes is a mom and tried for years to reach out to Adriana on common ground as mothers. She can’t believe how cold she really is. Having said that, Lourdes was visibly upset with the first family court judge judge for ordering the court officials to not go with us to see you on our visits. On purpose! I could not believe was I was hearing. We have no idea what the justification for this was. Go figure.
If you go back a couple years, you may remember me writing about Alicia’s carjacking and how someone pulled her out of her car, right in front of her mother’s house, and had stolen her car. She is lucky to be alive. Oddly enough, she got her truck back after a couple weeks. Funny, I can’t seem to get my stolen cell phone back and it’s been almost a month since it was stolen by Adriana and Adolfo Rojas. I wonder why that is.
