The alleged ringleader of a corrupt crew of rogue cops pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court on Monday to targeting drug dealers for shakedowns that yielded tens of thousands of dollars in cash and large amounts of cocaine and marijuana. He and his partner, Corey Flagg, along with other tactical officers and drug dealers, ran a gang of their own, one that left dealers on the streets but relieved them of their money and drugs.

Защищает ментов тот самый Рик Халприн. "Good people make bad decisions. He made a number of them," Halprin said. Это у нас, видимо, самый важный адвокат, надо запомнить.

The smell of uncollected garbage and tires burning at barricades hung over the city, a popular tourist destination, and some businesses ran short of water after demonstrators refused to allow water trucks into central Oaxaca. About 3,000 leftists and striking teachers wielding machetes and clubs marched through the city...

Some 70,000 public school teachers went on strike May 22 to demand salary increases... The teachers refused to halt their three-month-old strike to allow 1.3 million students to return to classes Monday... Private schools remained closed because of the unrest.

The state capital of Oaxaca City, 325 miles southeast of Mexico City, attracts thousands of Mexican and foreign tourists each year with its colonial architecture and local Indian crafts.

В Оаксаку не едем.

Bruno Bozzetto, Allegro non Troppo (1977). Это что [livejournal.com profile] avva советовал -- спасибо! Действительно, грандиозная вещь. В порядке эксперимента смотрели сразу с детьми (за два дня, отдельно первую и вторую серии). Идеально.
