In many parts of the world there are a variety of ways to be assaulted. In El Salvador, weapons used are often incorporated into verbs and the common language of the street. The infinitive verb “Apedrar” is an example. During this emergency, the caller informed us that a man had been “apedrado”-rocked. In the neighborhood of San Miguelito, community of Tutunichapa #4, a 28 year old male was rocked and “bapuleado”-beat up. The patient was stabilized and transported to Rosales Hospital downtown. Witnesses report it was the man’s own gang colleagues that participated in the assault. Cultural Translation: Marco/Foto: CDS
