SANTO DOMINGO.- A soldier of the Presidential Guard posted beneath a bridge on the Las Americas highway prior to the passing of president Leonel Fernandez’s motorcade, yesterday threatened to shoot a newspaper Diario Libre team headed by the reporter Ronny Mateo.

The guard pointed his rifle at the newspaper’s pickup truck and threatened to shoot the journalists if they tried to take his photo, after telling them they couldn’t get on the highway because they risked being shot. "Go ahead chicken sh-ts, you’ll know who’s a man if you take my picture.”

When a Presidency’s Traffic agent instructed the reporters to join the motorcase caravan, the guard protested while still aiming his weapon at the vehicle.

No it does not, these "Animals and thugs" that are this transparent go to jail in the US.

No matter how macho Dominicans think they are... they are pussies... they NEVER take a real stand.. they always say it is someone else.

Losers.

what's nuts is the fact that if that rifle would have gone off by mistake who knows what other mindless security personnel would have joined in risking harm to the president........ Shameful, the attitude and actions of people hired by the government and they carry government issued weapons.

And, why was Spanky the only one to notice a threat ? Where was the rest of the team ?

January 3, 2011, 6:26 pm Murders Rise in New York City, but Remain Near Historic Lows
By KAREN ZRAICK
With the last homicide recorded on New Year’s Eve, the New York Police Department counted 532 murders in 2010 — a 13 percent increase from 2009, when there were 471.

But, as police officials have often pointed out, the numbers can be misleading. The 2009 figure was the lowest number of murders since 1963, when the department began keeping reliable statistics. And even the total in 2010 was the fourth lowest, and the year was the the ninth consecutive that the total was below 600.

Major felony crime, the police said on Monday, was down 1.6 percent compared to the prior year, and down 35 percent compared to 2001.

Did anyone think as to what the orders were given to this Presidential guard. He may have been "ordered" not to allow anyone to pass to the highway until the Presidential motorcade goes by and beyond the point. If he had such orders and I assumed he did; it should be pointed out his manner to communicate the message to the reporter(s) lacked professionalism. Also, you can be ascertained there is no communication between/among gov't agencies regarding security measures/policies and chain of command as the Presidential traffic agent countermanded the guard's order. The guard was unwise to allow a "traffic" agent to countermand his orders.

The Presidential security advisors should review this incident to see all that went wrong.

JEM237... Please I'd say it your face... but you'd let your macho mentality to turn to violence. Which would ONLY prove my point.

And violence is the implement of the ignorant..

You are such a macho moron you're gong to try and justify this animal. You are a neanderthal and are what makes the Dominican Republic an unsafe 4th world country. It is the 21st century.. start thinking that way.

And MANY people, journalist and not, get to be as close to our President (not yours) as our secret service will allow WITHOUT them threatening ANYONE with death.


Any Dominican with authority is a determent to your country because they think, at that point, they can do anything with impunity. an inbred entitlement mentality.

"Go ahead chicken sh-ts, you’ll know who’s a man if you take my picture.”

That is a statement a 10 year would make. How did he get his job? How does he think that makes him a man? Who taught him this?

it's real "tough and brave" to be an "internet gangsta".

I, in NO means want to be a "gangsta", I deplore violence.

It says a lot about you, JEM237, for immediately jumping to that conclusion. I can only think you are frustrated punk who has delusions of grandeur that involves violence.

Please go home to the DR so no one in the US will suffer and possibly die.

ohhhvictor "Go ahead chicken sh-ts, you’ll know who’s a man if you take my picture.”
You think that Obama's security team would say that??

There are always protocols to follow with in security of anyone not in the right place or that have been told they can't be somewhere.... pointing your gun and threatening to shoot them, would not be in that protocol list... It might be on Michael Corleone protocol??
