Pero en estas ultimas semanas en el barrio de la Mission ha vido mas de tres asesinatos y nadie sabe porque pasa, pero en verdad ya me da miedo andar en la calle ya no sabe uno en que lugar esta la gente que solo quiere hacer maldad mientras aterrorizan a la gente./p p Y mas cuando uno a visto asesinatos en su pais. Como yo que vivia con miedo, salia a las calles de Guatemala solo por necesidad, porque muchas veces mire como los jovenes asesinaban a la gente en los autobuses y en la calle y no podia hacer ni decir nada por miedo a ser asecinada tambien./p p Una vez yo hiba caminando en la calle porque habia salido de la iglesia y de una hemisora de radio donde avia enviado saludos a mi familia. Hiba con rumbo a mi trabajo apenas abia caminado una cuadra para tomar el otro autobus cuando unos hombres me agarraron, me quitaron todo lo que llebava y me estaban lastimando con unas tijeras y otro me tenia con un cuchillo en el cuello. Llore mucho porque no tenia ni un centavo para irme a mi trabajo esa noche y era una hora en el bus y caminando jamas llegaria, pues tambien temia que me mataran./p p No tuve mas remedio que pedir limosna, es por eso que cuando vine a San Francisco yo senti una tranquilidad porque yo me sentia segura que aqui no habian rateros y menos asesinatos. Podia yo caminar en las calles sin preocuparme de nada./p p Pero ahora ya estoy asustada por todo lo que pasa en California, la violencia se esta apoderando de estas ciudades./p p span data-scayt_word="Aveces" data-scaytid="2"Aveces/span me span data-scayt_word="da" data-scaytid="3"da/span span data-scayt_word="miedo" data-scaytid="4"miedo/span y span data-scayt_word="tristeza" data-scaytid="5"tristeza/span saber span data-scayt_word="que" data-scaytid="6"que/span span data-scayt_word="gente" data-scaytid="10"gente/span span data-scayt_word="inocente" data-scaytid="11"inocente/span span data-scayt_word="muere" data-scaytid="12"muere/span, span data-scayt_word="como" data-scaytid="13"como/span span data-scayt_word="fue" data-scaytid="14"fue/span el span data-scayt_word="caso" data-scaytid="17"caso/span de el span data-scayt_word="señor" data-scaytid="18"sentilde;or/span span data-scayt_word="que" data-scaytid="7"que/span span data-scayt_word="fue" data-scaytid="15"fue/span a span data-scayt_word="cambiar" data-scaytid="19"cambiar/span span data-scayt_word="su" data-scaytid="20"su/span span data-scayt_word="cheque" data-scaytid="21"cheque/span de span data-scayt_word="trecientos" data-scaytid="22"trecientos/span span data-scayt_word="dolares" data-scaytid="23"dolares/span y span data-scayt_word="que" data-scaytid="8"que/span span data-scayt_word="fue" data-scaytid="16"fue/span lo span data-scayt_word="que" data-scaytid="9"que/span span data-scayt_word="paso" data-scaytid="24"paso/span lo span data-scayt_word="mataron" data-scaytid="25"mataron/span.

In San Francisco now and then you hear about homicides, but these past weeks in the Mission three different homicides have occurred, and no one knows why. The truth is, itrsquo;s becoming scary to walk the streets at night. No one knows where the people who are looking to harm and terrorize you are./p p Itrsquo;s hard to hear about this violence, coming from a violent country like Guatemala. I lived, scared, in Guatemala. I would go out in the streets only by necessity. I witnessed how people would rob others on the bus, and you would need to keep your mouth shut, cause otherwise you could get robbed too./p p One day I was walking on the street. I was coming out of church, and went to a radio station where you can send shout-outs to your family. After this I started to walk towards my job. I walked a block, and suddenly two men grabbed me and took the little money I had on me; they threatened me with some scissors and a knife to my neck. I cried a lot that day cause I did not have money for the bus to get to my job, and by walking I would never get there on time./p p I had no choice than to beg. Thatrsquo;s why I came to San Francisco. I felt more tranquil and secure here, there were less robberies and homicides, and I could walk the streets without fear./p p But now am scared again by the violence that is happening in California and the violence that is running some of the cities./p p Sometimes it saddens me to know that innocent people die, just like the guy who was killed in Oakland after changing his pay check of three hundred dollars. They unjustly killed him and he left his sons and family behind in this country./p
