Editor-In-Chief
HARLINGEN, Texas - The note submitted as a comment to this web site was clear and concise: "Chapanenco, tell us who killed your son-in- law, tell us about the ip numbers you ran to give to the police, tells, about the comments the dawg made about you not sleeping, because you were afraid K/M was going to close your slime blog down, like she did the Harlingen Post. Tell us who your fake writers are."
We were struck by why Chapa would comply with the police if it did happen as we hear it. Did they have a search warrant when they arrived at his front door? What judge signed it? What were the police looking for? From what I can conclude based on the comments posted about this incident at Chapa's house in Harlingen is that some politician complained to the police about what that politician thought were questionable postings and they, in turn, rousted Chapa, apparently forcing him to hand over the info from his computer's hard drive.
If that is correct, he made a monumental mistake.
In essence, he handed the police a way to track down those bloggers, putting all of them in harm's way.
Any first-year Journalism student would have told Chapa to tell the cops to go stick it. He would then have called his lawyer and told the cops his sources are protected, and then made his fight against releasing any info related to his blog before a judge in a court of law.
It's one of those rock-hard tenets of Journalism. You always protect your sources, even at the risk of going to jail, and you never hand over info that is protected by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution - also known as the Free Speech amendment. Short of the cops telling a judge that the info will lead to a killer or a terrorist, the judge will likely tell authorities to take a hike. Criticizing politicians is fair game. It is up to the judge; that is true, however. If a Chapa blogger - and there are fewer and fewer of those, thanks to his odd style of practicing Journalism - was making threats against, say, the mayor, then the judge likely would have said Chapa had to turn it over. What is at risk here is that everybody's IP number would be availed so freely when you hand over the hard drive of a computer. All info contained therein would be seen by cops. If Chapa did that to protect his butt, then, yes, he blew it big time. But he's an amateur and not a trained Journalist, so perhaps ignorance in his case is his defense.
It would be interesting to see how Chapa did act under pressure by those cops who came to his home. Perhaps he should tell his readers a little something about that incident, because, if he doesn't know what protections he has, he'll do it again.
And everyone who blogs at MyHarlingenNews is liable to get caught in the oldest trick in a cop's book - buffaloing the naive and inexperienced...

Awesome, Mr. Editor! I won't go to Chapaneco's blog anymore if he doesn't know squat. Fool!
Thanks for giving the shrimp a lesson but it's too late for that guy. No one trusts him anymore.
Mr. Editor, it is true about the IP numbers, send an e-mail to the big dawg and he will tell you, more or less what happen, but it dealt during an election.
The story goes: Alledgelly, some blogger who was runing for an elected position sent a threating letter to K/M, this blogger blogged frequently at mhns.
A police report was filed, and the police came to chapis house, the story at las casuelitas was that he couldn't work fast enough to give the information. (Typical coward)
Nothing came of it, the alledge blogger denied the accusations, but Chapis was under the radar.
Joe Rubio, wrote a post, in where he was critical of Chapis handing out previldged information.
The Harlingen Post went out of business after the operator made some statements not favorable to Ms. Marra. The wife of the editor, was helping her on the campaign at the time.
I think that is why, he hates the police so much.
Good post, Mr. Editor, good post.
Most of the articles at myhgnews, are about police stories, and half of the stories are disputed by other people. He should check his so call inside sources.
Jakei, is the only one who writes comments.
(Did chapis really shine the cops shoes and badges?? and offer them coffee??? I heard que andaba bien cagao el viejo miedoso.)
He did, but the cops tell a story, that the place smell like dog poop.
And that he kept making excuses, he doesn't work, his lard ass chola supports him. No trabaja, vive del centavo.
Man, it seems like the answers to the state budget is, cut here, cut there, cut here, cut there.
There has to be better solutions than just cutting.
Add jail staffing, and don't cut vets benefits. end of story!!!
Chapa cowered like a little puppy because the cops showed up with ICE and threatened him with deportation. How can anyone blog on his site knowing that the little coward would give them up in a heartbeat. Why do you think city hall loves him and gives him the agenda among other things? With his divulging of the IP addresses, the cops and city hall know who has been blogging. Chapa forgot that he is only biding time before some idiot from one of those two places leak information. There will be people suing that little coward for breech of security. He broke the code of his own website and by divulging the IP addresses when he could have told the cops and ICE to take a hike! YOu f@%^#$% little wetback!
chapaneco, refuses to address the issue, the word around town, that after that happen, many people stayed awsy from his blog, and then he mounted comments about other issues to cover his track, es un traidor.
I don't know this champaneco character, but, Mr. Editor, he sounds like a criminal playing the system, well, as they say in the army, payback is a bi**%#h.
Brother Jonesy, you are suppose to be Gideons bible man, why are you using this type of vocabulary???
What happen, did they chase you, out of Alamo Texas flea market??? Or did Wallmart chase you out of their parking lot?? Just asking,
no pun intended, of course.
Mexico needs to set up Marshal's law, arrest anyone who is not complying.
Deal's blog is back on line.
What a flake, that champaneco turned everybody in, just to save his hide. I didn't even know, those numbers existed, very informative.
Mr. Editor, that is exactly why they play the game. In the tournament, ranking doesn't matter, it is a win, or go home. Maybe Kansas was a bit over rtated.
chapaneco will turn in his own family. didn't he hand over his wife to Jake for that backseat stuff? No spine on that dwarf. LOL!!!
ANOn, Who would want his lard ass chola, what a fake, the word is Jakle is using nothing fake names, he runs his 2 two police stories and gets 8 comments,6 from jakle and two from him, miedoso, shine the cops shoes, and offered them coffee, oh vamonos para matamoros.
Over 168 comments posted on the number one rated blog: Tribune
The Tribune, the best blog in town over 168 comments,
myharlingennews, about 40 comments 30 from chapas and Jakle,
Now wonder they are known as Mr. Jackle and Mr. Hide,
Mr, Chapis, is coward and Hide, and Jackle is a blowhard.
Gilbert, you are pointin out what everybody knows. Chapaneco is a rookie trying to make it in gthe big leagues. No puede el chapparro! le faltan huevos al buey! His old lady in the backseat of another guy's Ford? Pobre vieja.
Oh boy, he is trying to peddle his sewer line blog on facebook, really, no one likes you in the valley, idiot, take your lard ass chola and put her on facebook, or Jackle, on facebook, that is a good one, jajajajjajaja, fake, fake, fake, fake,, loser, loser el chapis y la noviecita.
Chapanecos blog, first grade level articles about the Tribune:
seven comments: 5 tonis, 1 jake and one made up.
2 pissed poor written articles about the police dept, at about second grade level, 2 comments, probably from two disgruntled cops.
jojojojojojo, jajaja,jijijiji, jujujujju, chapis your blog belongs in the landfill.
Hey, I found Tony Chapa on Facebook with a picture of a dwarf! LOL!!! Go check it out. Says he's from Harlingen and was born in Matamoros. Jake musta done it. LOL!!!
For news and good writing it's The Tribune. For crap and retards it's Chapaneco. No question about it. We're with The Tribune, shrimp!
Hey, Paz, how about a photo of Chapaneco's daughter? Is she hot or is she a short shit like her father? World is waiting. LOL!!!!
Mr. BROWNSVILLE & OTHERS:...We do not have a photo of Tony Chapa's daughter, but would publish it only if there was a "news" reason to do it, like, for example, if the Harlingen Police Dept. re-opened its investigation of the strange murder of her husband. (2.) We should also tell our readers that our stats regarding visitors to this site include Chapa, who has visited The Tribune 22 times so far this morning. And it's a long way to midnight... - Editor
Well, Mr. Editor, why not, you are the best blog in town, even chapos admits it, by reading the comments and your well written articles.
Viejo maricon, 3 stories, 10 comments 6 from him dr. Jackle, 3 from disgruntle unhappy cops, one from a made up character, name
As alwasy, over 16 comments, right here at the NUMBER ONE RATED BLOG, ONE ARTICLE. WOWWOWOW, EVEN JERRY HAS MORE BLOGS THIS MORNING que chapapenco. ayayai, yayai,yayai, que viva el Tribune and Duardito Paz-Martines, Adelante, numero uno.
Placed side by side, any halfwit would see that the Tribune is professional and Chapaneco an amateur. What great news has Chapete brought us in the last week? Nothing worth a damn. Trib sidebars kick his dwarf ass. the guy can't write and can't think. what no press releases today, moron? LOL!!!
Chapete doesn't know that anybody can set up a Facebook account. All you need is an email address. I can create one on his ass. I can get his photo from his website and it's up! Pendejo. He is an illiterate MOFO. LOL!!!
AT LEAST 3 BLOGGERS IN HARLINGEN WERE VISITED BY THE POLICE AFTER INFORMANT TONY CHAPA GAVE THE POLICE AND KORI MARRA THE IP ADDRESSES OF THOSE WHO DARED TO SAY ANYTHING NEGATIVE ABOUT HER ONLINE. ONE OF THOSE 3 WAS RUNNING FOR MAYOR OF HARLINGEN AT THE TIME. CHAPA SHIT DOWN HIS LEG AND SOLD EVERYONE OUT IN 2 SECONDS FLAT. HE RAN LIKE A LITTLE GIRL AND GAVE UP THE INFO WITHOUT EVEN A FIGHT. HE CAN'T BE TRUSTED TO PROTECT HIS SOURCES. AND THAT SEPARATES THE MEN FROM THE BOYS, THE JOURNALISTS FROM THE WANNA BE'S, AND THE STAND UP GUY FROM THE CHICKEN SHIT. HE FAILED THE TEST RIGHT DOWN THE LINE. HE SOLD OUT TO KORI MARRA. AND ROXANN CONTROLIO BIGTIME!
Jose Canseco was a joke before he came to the Valley last season and it looks like he's still a joke. ozzie, BTW, is is twin brother. Let's hope he doesn't come back this year.
Does anyone have the story behind the mysterious death of Chapa's son in law? When did this happen? Where did it happen? HPD investigated? Who was the detective in charge?
ALL:...Thanks for the kind words. Tony Chapa? Well, we got him where we want him - writing about The Tribune and nothing else. Oh, well, there was that "story" about the city patching his alley. He's had something like 10 stories about The Tribune in the past few days and little else. Poor soul. He should take a Journalism class, even if it's online. (2.) We're getting more info on the Hitman tale involving Chapa's dead former son-in-law. You'll see the full story soon only on The Trib... - Editor
It happen sometime back, the guy was shot at the Maryland apts. The Harlingen Police Investigated, the story is, "that he ran and hid under his ex-wife dress, Maricon, and begged her to let him stay in her house."
The other "lard ass chola" was left outside the house, to fend for herself. ayayai, ayayai,ayayai, coyon miedoso, maricon.
Just like he turned the IP numbers to the Harlingen police, porque tenia miedo el viejo coyon.
Mr. Editor, this guy is getting a whipping country style, que paliza te estan metiendo con los commentarios, biejo baboso.
If you go to Tony Chapa's Facebook page with he dwarf photo, you'll see he is asking to meet short ladies. says he is a short dude. Plus there's a photo of some muscle guy. Hmmmm? Is he telling us something? LOL!
Fellow blogger, out of 16 comments 12 belong to chapete viejo, 4 actual comments.
The tribune, how does 22 sound, same amount of time, even his fu**&*ed up police stories, are running out of steam.
Duardito you have in the ropes, he is running like a dog with the tail between his legs, not even Dr. jackle el joto can save him,
Que viva, El Tribune, the editor and all the good educated people who blog at the NUMBER ONE BLOG IN THE VALLEY. Animo!!!!!!!!
Chapete is not a journalist, like Deal and Paz. He has no brain educated to chase stories. Love the Canseco sidebar! Ha ha ha.
Tonis Chapis el chapete viejo is claiming he is under attack by the editor of the Trib, it is his bloggers, who have seen what you are ahole. You're nothing but a cyber space bully, who use a rag line blog for the purpose of self satisfaction, or to embarrassed people. Like you did to Dan Castillo, and anyone else you so desire.
Well, how does it feel, to have a pit bull following your stupid chihuhua dog ass around.
Ora si to te gusta ho%^**to.
WHAT CHAPETE, RAN AND HID DURING THE MURDER INVESTIGATION UNDER HIS EX-WIFE DRESS. AND SLEPT ON A CLOSET. WHILE THE LARD ASS CHOLA SLEPT OUTSIDE FENDING FOR HERSELF. THIS DUMBO IS FIT MORE FOR COMEDY, THAN A BLOG OPERATOR. QUE VERGUENSA, NO ERES HOMBRE.
He won't talk about it or post info on his blog, but cops say he did. Hid under his ex-wife's skirt. Cobarde!!! Face the musica, buey!!!
Yep,Yep, Yep, he is talking to anyone who will feel sorry for him. Correlon, te escondes de tras de los vestidos de las viejas.
Entrale como los hombrecitos, no que no, "cuernudo."
WEll it was about time the legislature do something about people who buy insurance just for a month, untill they get their license plates or inspection stickers.
I seen plenty illegals, do that stuff. Now if they would only enforce it.
Champanecon, is making himself a victim, come on chapis, you are the devil in disguise.
Has anyone seen a short dude with a long tail, and oxens horns that hides behind women skirts, shines shoes of police officers, and hangs out with a boyfriend in an old ford at the Wesmer Drive Inn.
Yep, Chapaneco time. CUERNUDO
A special messages to TONI CHAPIS comments today and no comments tomorrow.
MHNs 12 stories/ 26 comments, 2 comments per story. Mostly form Chapis and jakey. 4 fake comments.
The number one blog: Herald Tribune one article: 32 comments.
NEED WE SAY MORE, FAKEY POLICE STORIES, LIES, LIES, AND MORE LIES FROM A LIAR, TONIE CHAPIS.
Local Valley bloggers are divided into two camps; those that will comment on Chapa’s site and those that think they are trash.
Personally I think Jake and Tony are gay. Not that there is any thing wrong about being gay-but Chapa needs to come out of the closet. Look at his photo, he looks like a gay guy who just had intimate sex with long dong Jake. That Jake sure is a number and he needs a heavy dose of Prozac for his mental illness.
