The former Security Minister Restrepo's head, thrown by a drug trafficker at the entrance of the government building, was captured by journalists.
In the photo, a sedan faced dozens of military police, with the drug trafficker inside flipping them off arrogantly, a head rolling on the ground, not even pixelated, just posted as it was.
Then, piece by piece, the reports began to appear on the front pages.
"Colombia on the brink under the Drug Association!"
"Our country! Our nation! To die under drugs!"
It has to be said, sometimes, journalists are a bunch of "iron-headed" people, but it is this kind of witness that prevents history from being forgotten.
Just like during the Panama War, when the U.S. Military very "specially and exceptionally" banned all war correspondents from entering the combat zone, corralling the journalists in a place where they could only get official news from the U.S. forces.
This actually violated the "Geneva Conventions."
