The story of Don Alejandro Garza Tamez was published in days past, was a social phenomenon and social networks were a showcase where people expressed their admiration and sympathy for the family of this new 'national hero'.
Because of this, relatives of Mr. Alejo did reach the Millennium Television drafting two new and original photographs of the brave man who faced more than 30 criminal organization hitmen for the Zetas and defended with his life for his Rancho San Joseph, located in Padilla, Tamaulipas.
on Facebook and Twitter are asked to be recognized as a national hero, and even asked to collect keys and money to create a statue in his honor. There were those who already make up a row.
While others wondered why the federal and state authorities did not come to their aid.
Some more demanded the location of the criminals who murdered this man 77 years old, defending his property.
In a telephone interview, Sandra Garza, daughter of Mr. Alejo, explained that his father had received threats from members of organized crime to leave the ranch or they would be evicted, but never complained to the authorities for not trusting Tamaulipas them.
Relive the story of this man who was not afraid to face death, and that detailed Javier Sepulveda, Millennium.
When elements of the Army in Mexico came to the Rancho San Jose in the vicinity of the dam Padilla, 15 kilometers from Ciudad Victoria, Tamaulipas, they saw a bleak scenario: the austere main house was half destroyed by gunfire and grenade blasts.
On the outside of the house had four bodies. Wary, weapons ready, explored around and found two more wounded and unconscious subjects. Inside the house there was only one body, that of Don Alejandro, the owner of the farm and timber businessman, with two arms to his side and practically stitched shots.
inspection revealed that all doors and windows had weapons and ammunition. This allowed them to imagine how a battle was fought hours earlier.
The staff of the Navy searched for more bodies inside the home but found no more. It seemed hard to believe that one person had caused so many casualties on the attackers with rifles and hunting guns. Tens
cartridge casings and the smell of gunpowder proof of the ferocity of those who fought to the end to defend their property.
ultimately understand the man had designed its own defense strategy to fight alone, placing weapons in all doors and windows.
written history began the morning of Saturday 13 November, when a group of men was armed and threatening to issue an ultimatum to Don Alejo Garza Tamez, owner of the ranch, had 24 hours to deliver the property or would comply the consequences.
diplomacy with its nearly eight decades of life, Don Alejandro said they did not give his property. And there would be waiting, he said flatly.
After the incident, gathered his workers and energetic pitch and asked them the next day not come to work, to be left alone.
During that Saturday was devoted to taking stock of their weapons and ammunition and preparing the defense strategy of his house like a military barracks.
weapons on the flanks had before weakest: the doors and windows of the ranch. 13 Saturday night was long and sleepless, as in his best times for hunting, but woke early. Shortly after 4 am several trucks engines could be heard far away.
sailors who explored the ranch could imagine how it was that morning, with armed gunmen, secure of impunity, confident they would soon have another property to his credit. Nobody, or almost no one can resist a contingent of gunmen carrying rifles. Only Don Alejo.
The truck entered the ranch and took up positions off the farm. Its occupants dropped, launched a blast into the air and shouted that they came to take possession of the ranch. They hoped that terrified people out with their hands raised.
But things did not go as expected. Don Alejo received them with bullets and soon a whole army shooting at the main house on the farm. The farmer seemed to multiply and minutes should seem eternal to those who had seen him easy prey. Fell several outlaws and others, angry and frustrated the attack raged. Of the guns, the gunmen went to the grenades.
When the silence finally came, the air smelled of gunpowder. The holes in the walls and windows of the structure indicated the violence of the attack. When they went in search of what they had assumed was a large contingent, they were surprised to find one. Don Alejo.
The gunmen made a quick reconnaissance and chose to leave the square. No seized the ranch, because they thought the military would soon come and preferred flee. Stopped what they believed were six bodies, but two gunmen were wounded.
Shortly after the Marines arrived, and slowly, patiently reconstructed the events. A rancher, a man who loved his property more than anything in the world literally defended to the death.
In the last hunt of his life, Don Alejo surprised the group of assassins who wanted to impose on his ranch in the law of the jungle, the same as neither the state power has been controlled.
present sailors will never forget the scene: a 77 year old man swept away four gunmen before he died fighting as the best soldier, with dignity, honor and courage.
Rest in peace Don Alejo Garza Tamez.
