"The leaflets reportedly found at the site warned of the “cleansing” of brothels, “degenerate homosexuals”, thieves and informants, and declared “Long Live Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, principally Maoism.”"

wtf is with these psychos?? Would love some Shining Path info because this is not a great look

    Pedro should try to get out in front of this op (and it's for sure an op) and just say that as a former Rondero he has experience combating Senderosos and that he'll bring these people to justice as president. This is such a dirty play it's insane

      he did, and this whole thing is incredibly obvious that its an op. They kill those people and leave a warning not to vote for Fujmori in a district that only has 2,500 voters and that went over 65% to Castillo in the 1st round? lol

        Thanks. Weird his account isn't verified and Keiko's is. Translation of his tweet for non spanish speakers: "My solidarity with the families of the 18 victims of the cowardly attack in Pichari, VRAEM. I forcefully condemn this attempted terrorism and urge the justice to apply the full weight of the law. We won't tolerate any act of violence."

        "In our government we will raise the budget for the police investigation to determine the true cause of these attempts."

        Also noticed that somebody in the replies posted about a similar attack just before the 2016 election and many commenters seem to be aware that its probably an op.
