June 16, 2024 . Having resided in Medellin for three years, the last year seems to have seen a spike in crime. While sitting at Suramerica Metro, having a tinto. Street guy approaches begging for a cigarette...refused. Street guy wants to swap a pair of scissors (10,000cop?)...i refuse, he grabs my umbrella, threatens me with the shears. I recover the umbrella, start walking stairs into metro station...street guy attempts to kick my feet from under me. Bystanders have called the police. Street guy exits the scene...police arrive, 15 minutes later. Cruise the area...nothing. One week later having another tinto, different location...street guy is now paying for his own tinto AND cigarette. See's me...departs. Police can't seem to locate this guy...same neighborhood. Funny...peculair...paranoia?
It’s just how you feel there at that little park because It’s dark there and everywhere else is lit. Its not a sketchy place. It’s just like the rest of La 70. Mellow…
