Overview
- Local outlets documented banners at Santa Cecilia and Avenida Fortunato de la Plaza and along the Cerrito Sur boundary with San Martín, El Progreso, Cerrito and San Salvador.
- Messages include vows not to call 911 and explicit threats of gunfire, with some signs signed by the group “Vecinos Cerrito Sur.”
- Residents say the display follows a series of robberies and home invasions and complain of delayed patrols and scarce police resources.
- Osvaldo, a 70-year-old painter who made the signs, told Canal 10 he had never seen such messages in 50 years and said he ultimately accepted the commission.
- As of the latest reports, media have not published any response from police or municipal authorities, and no confrontations or enforcement actions were reported.
