alvarito uribito gets a dose of equine justice



since he eludes devine justice ....

He was on horseback on Tuesday in Antioquia when he fell off and was kicked by the horse. Or he did not fall off but was kicked by the horse anyway. Two different versions in El Espectador and El Tiempo.

Apparently he suffered a kick to one of his knees. Injury not serious, but he was taken to a hospital.

Colombian comments on the story both in El Espectador and El Tiempo are hilarious. Will the horse become a false positive, will it be tortured, did it belong the FARC Turf Club, will it be chain-sawed, seek asylum in Panama and on and on. The best comment I saw was that since there has been no devine justice for alvarito, this was equine justice.

The El Tiempo story says he did NOT FALL off the horse.

1. It is difficult for the horse to kick you in the knee when you are on his back.

2. Great responses. Unexpected event for the little fella. Hope he didn't throw a fit.
It's possible he dropped some hot coffee on it. He should know better than to drink and ride.

4. Whereas seemingly
Venezuela is getting a dose of bovine injustice from a certain SOS.

I got into trouble the last time I mentioned the alt use of that acronym - odd that.

Colombia's former President Alvaro Uribe was taken to hospital Tuesday after a horse kicked him in the chest.

The incident happened in Llanogrande, a rural area outside of Medellin where Uribe has a farmhouse.

According to local media, Uribe fell off the horse that then kicked him in the chest.

A doctor at the hospital where Uribe was taken to told newspaper El Espectador the former head of state was treated for fractured ribs, but was in good condition. However, the doctors advised him to rest and stay at home for a few days.
