Omar bin Guerrero, Saddam Ochoa

As stated in the December 28, 2006 "Justice of the Peace requests protection" article in The Monitor, "Justice of the Peace Mary Alice Palacios said Wednesday she fears for her life and is receiving law enforcement protection after being told Hidalgo County District Clerk Omar Guerrero has threatened her."

Sadly, strong Omar Guerrero supporter, Joe-Joe Ochoa and his political spin blog state,

"I kind of think this is some kind of publicity stunt. ... Maybe your looking for a hand-out. Or maybe you feel lonely. ... 2007 is going to be a great year. Let's start off with a BANG!"

With Joe-Joe's joking about the BANG, as in a gun shot, and this situation, when do you get to call these men for what they really are ... persons who inflict terror are ... terrorists.

While Justice of the Peace Mary Alice Palacios declined to comment further Wednesday regarding the sheriff’s office’s information, saying she fears for her family’s safety, Ochoa and his cronies joke and hope for a BANG.

Dems & Terrorists ... bff?

As stated in the December 22, 2006 "Al Qaeda Sends a Message to Democrats,"ABC News reoprt, "Al Qaeda has sent a message to leaders of the Democratic party that credit for the defeat of congressional Republicans belongs to the terrorists."

"The first is that you aren't the ones who won the midterm elections, nor are the Republicans the ones who lost. Rather, the Mujahideen -- the Muslim Ummah's vanguard in Afghanistan and Iraq -- are the ones who won ..." said al Qaeda No. 2 man, Ayman al Zawahri.

In fact, Zawahri calls on the Democrats to negotiate with him and Osama bin Laden, "and if you don't refrain from the foolish American policy of backing Israel, then await the same fate."

Amazing! I guess either the Democratic Party is now heavily influenced by al Qaeda or al Qaeda is now becoming a major political factor in United States politics.

Hopefully I can still say this ... Merry Christmas ..... or ..... now the politically correct, Happy 3rd day of Dhu al-Hijjah, the day the Prophet Jesus was born.

Yes, it got uglier ...

But this time I hope Omar Guerrero does not portray himself as Dr. Richard Kimble, in the hunt for the one-armed man. Omar Guerrero needs to know that Marshal Sam Gerard will not chase him.

As stated in the December 12, 2006 "Police: District Clerk a Fugitive" NewsChannel 5 report, "The US Marshals have joined the search for the Hidalgo County District Clerk. Police are calling Omar Guerrero a fugitive."

Ouch! I'm almost afraid to ask ... how much uglier will this get?

Texas reacts to Omar Guerrero scandal

Read all about it. Its everywhere. The only people who deny anything are Omar's supporters.

The Houston Chronicle "Hard-to-find clerk now a wanted man" newspaper article portray's Omar Guerrero as "a former plumber with a high school diploma." Attorney Al Alvarez, said the police reward is ''ridiculous." "He's an innocent man, and he's been wrongly accused," Alvarez said. Attorney Al Alvarez said his client is out of town, not hiding.

''He had a golden tongue, and he fooled the people," said one elected official who asked not to be identified. ''This boy can talk your shirt off your back."

As stated in the December 9, 2006 "Lawyer: Guerrero will be arrested next week" article in the Monitor, Al Alvarez, Guerrero’s lawyer, said the 29-year-old district clerk could be arrested as early as Monday. "My best guess is Monday, but we haven’t worked out the details yet," Alvarez said.

Alvarez said his client is out of town and did not know about the charges until Thursday.

Back in the Houston Chronicle article, Alvarez said of the sex charges, ''At this point, it's a mere allegation. People make these allegations all the time, and we have to give him the benefit of the doubt." Those familiar with the charges say they stem from a consensual relationship with a Mission teenager.

Right, consentual relations with a 15-year-old little girl. Its called Statutory Rape!

But wait ... there's more

Hidalgo County District Clerk Omar Guerrero now is finding himself in deeper holes than he already was. How much uglier can this get?

At this time, I am investigating claims of retaliation towards the family of the 15-year old girl. News is still fresh, but incredible.

As stated in the December 07, 2006 NewsChannel 5 report "Search for District Clerk Continues," "Officers also raided the district clerk's McAllen home. They say they found marijuana and cocaine but not [Omar] Guerrero. Detectives say they received a tip about a broken gate and window, which lead them to believe he could be here."

According to December 07, 2006 Team 4 News report "Attorney: Omar Guerrero Expected to Surrender," Attorney Al Alvarez says [Omar] Guerrero is out of town, but should turn himself in to authorities on Friday. Alvarez also represents Omar Guerrero in his DWI and Possession of Marijuana charges, which are awaiting rulings on Motions to Suppress in County Court at Law #1.

As stated earlier in my article Part 3 – The Drama Continues ...,

Representing Carmen Ramirez is Al Alvarez, who is also representing Omar Guerrero in his DWI and Possession of Marijuana charges.

Yes, there is a connection ... look at the March 2006 Election Slate.

• Ramon Garcia for Hidalgo County Judge
• Mauro Reyna for District Attorney
• Omar Guerrero for District Clerk
• Eric Jarvis for the 92nd District Judge
• Joe Ochoa for Edinburg Mayor
• Gilbert Mercado for Edinburg School Board

Why haven't these guys denounced Omar Guerrero's action? Do they continue to support him?

*** Update ***

Still nothing from Omar Guerrero, but stay tuned for some more suprises! Yes, hidden/suppressed allegations dating back to the March election. Questions, questions, questions. Who knew and why was nothing done.

Now can he be removed?

As stated in the December 06, 2006 NewsChannel 5 report "Arrest Warrant Issued for Hidalgo County District Clerk," Hidalgo County District Clerk Omar Guerrero is wanted in connection with the aggravated sexual assault of a 15-year-old girl.

Texas Penal Code § 22.021, Aggravated Sexual Assault is a First Degree Felony and carries the possible punishment of 5-99 years in prison.

If Omar Guerrero enters a plea or is convicted, his picture and information will not only be posted on this blogsite, but other websites as well ... such as the Texas DPS Sex Offender Registration Database Website.

Recent rumors of a pending warrant from Mission which were previously unsubstantiatied have now been revealed. Since Omar is notorious for not showing up at work, police went to Omar Guerrero's home to arrest him with no luck. What now? When is any elected official going to ask for this man's resignation?

Omar Guerrero can only be removed in limited circumstances, as stated in Texas Local Government Code § 87.013.

As of December 06, 2006, Omar's CR-06-885-A DWI and CR-06-2089-A Possession of Marijuana cases are still under advisement regarding Omar's Motion to Suppress. Maybe now the Judge will make a ruling.

Out of the same court, Omar Guerreo is set for arraignment on January 12, 2007 in cause number CR-06-13457-A for Assault Causing Bodily Injury, Family Violence.

Omar's pending cases ... recap.

• CR-06-885-A, DWI
• CR-06-2089-A, Possession of Marijuana
• CR-06-13457-A, Assault Causing Bodily Injury, Family Violence
• F-2793-06-2, Divorce with Temporary Restraining Order
• CL-05-1925-E, Breach of Contract to First National Bank, Default with New Trial
• New - Aggravated Sexual Assault of a 15-year-old girl

The urgent question now ... Where's Omar?

The power of the blogger

Congratulations to Carlyn Mitchell, who in the December 04, 2006 "Mix of society’s elite, less-heard voices puts local political blog scene on track with national trend" newpaper in The Monitor, got it right. There is a power of that lies with a good blogger. The article talks about State Rep. Aaron Pena's site, Shaine Mata's sites, Edinburg Councilman Gene Espinoza's site, Edinburg Councilman Gus Garcia's site and yours truly.

As stated in The Monitor, "the top dog in the Edinburg blogosphere is undoubtedly 'Earn My Vote' — whose identity vexes his or her cyber-enemies as much as fans who simply refer to said individual as 'Earn.'"

The article even points out to the clothing line on CafePress.com. "Earn" has even created a clothing line on CafePress.com, selling T-shirts and women’s thongs printed with his handle. The phrase, "I am Earn My Vote," is also available, demonstrating "Earn’s" fun with the web-community’s fascination with the blog.

Mark Tremayne, a journalism professor at the University of Texas at Austin, says "many national influential bloggers who engage in actual reporting rather than opinion writing — which fuels the largest percentage of blogs — get hired on by the mainstream media, the credibility of which cannot afford to get scooped."

Do I hear anyone calling? :) Joking!

Congratulations to Carlyn Mitchell for a job well done.
