Machera's Story

Luis Enrique Cerrada Molina (MACHERA)
Was born on July 28, 1956 at the
Maternidad Mérida Institute, Mérida state; MACHERA
His nickname, for being considered among his friends

As daring, brave, a forward man, very
Macho. MACHERA was a wanted criminal by
All the police agencies in Mérida state
They say he had an extensive police record

But in the eyes of many people, MACHERA was
A kind of ROBIN HOOD; stealing from the rich and
Helping the poor. It is said that MACHERA would rob
Pharmacies to give medicine to the sick, markets to

Give food to the homeless, it is also said that he helped
More than one person without any interest

Machera was the thug of Santa Anita, a neighborhood in the
City of Mérida, Venezuela. At 21, he was the leader
Of the toughest gang in the city. And, well, to be the leader
Of these groups... You couldn't walk delicately through life

Lead and blood marked his life Well, that was less
The carnival day, when he brought a carousel to the neighborhood
Cotton candy and free popcorn for all the kids, and beer
For the adults, of course, no one asked where the money came from

According to the police report dated October 1, 1977, 33
Bullets were the ones that killed Luís Enrique Cerrada Molina, alias
Machera, 21 years old, wanted for months by the
Public Ministry and victim of one of the most brutal operations
To date

Luis Enrique Cerrada Molina (MACHERA), died when he was only
21 years old, on October 1, 1977, in a
Confrontation where all police forces combined
To hunt down the most wanted criminal of the time. He died
With his heart beating like that of a scared bird, eyes

Full of tears of anger and pain, 180 bullets pierced his
Weak humanity, in the end the young criminal dies, three officers
Injured and one dead. They say the corpse was handed over
Three days later for a Christian burial and during the wake
Thugs and police officers got mixed up. Perhaps that could have been his first
Miracle because even though they were all from different sides, nothing happened

MACHERA becomes a legend, around his figure a thousand
And one anecdote were woven. Now numerous miracles are attributed to him and this is
Testified by his grave, already full of plaques, books, relics, money
Statuettes, candles, rosaries, large candles, flowers and prayers at every moment
For the favors received

It is true that his life was disorderly, it is true that he committed
Crimes that placed him on the fringes of society in his time
But it is also true that the good thief of whom the
Bible speaks said to Jesus at the moment of his death, 'Lord, remember
Me in your kingdom!' And it is also true that Jesus said on one
Occasion 'Let he who is without sin cast the first
Stone!'. He is the favorite of students and lovers
Especially the former when they are about to take an
Exam and there are couples who testify to the loving
Arrangements until they become a happy marriage
