Just saw this on Lakesidecrime.com - Jocotopec

Read about it in the news this a.m. & posted the story in the octagon this a.m. He's been released.

I don't see your post. Can you tell me the header you posted it under or a link?

Simpsca, it's in Shootout in Chapala.

Chapalagringa, how do you know he's been released? Just curious. I always like to know the original source for info.

I posted some follow up story links in Shootout in Chapala by Intercasa this a.m.

http://jalisco.milenio.com/cdb/doc/impreso/9026746 bottom paragraph, I'm so sorry, I misunderstood. Some words appear one way in Spanish which I translated the opposite meaning.

I don't think he has been released, rather, a mis-interpretation by Google. Not sure since I got it on Lakesidecirme.com. I do have a friend in Jocotopec who clarified that he has not been released yet.

Also just learned from another friend that the brother of the owner of a coffee shop in Jocotopec was kidnapped out of his home this Wednesday. Haven't read this anywhere except from the friend who knows them on a first name basis.

I'm on two chat groups for the west end of the lake so I get a lot of information from residents in El Chante and Jocotopec who personally know a lot of the local Mexicans living in that area.

The article in Spanish says his whereabouts is unknown, which was mistranslated.

Hasta el momento las autoridades desconocen el paradero del ex director policial y no se sabe por qué fue privado de su libertad.

I translated the bold type in my head as, "they didn't know why he'd been set free privately. " which is incorrect.

It means, "they do not know why his private freedom was taken away."

sorry about that.

sorry about that.

A better translation is: "it is not known why he was deprived of his freedom".

But it is much better to avoid strict literal translations and go for the meaning.

"It isn't known why he was abducted" would IMO be an even better way to explain the situation.

solovino,
Why don't you post the news links and translations that we need? Save us the headache.

Maybe you should consider learning Spanish.
