A Grandmother's Ordeal in the Hands of Mexican Kidnappers
Hastings Tribune ^ | 9/30/15 | E. EDUARDO CASTILLO

The kidnappers promised Yolanda Alvarez Antunez they would free her husband after she paid the ransom. The mother of five, grandmother of 13 saw no other option.

Around 10:30 p.m. on that Wednesday, Yolanda and her brother-in-law drove the old family truck to a mountain town in the southern state of Guerrero, where they were stopped by two pickups full of armed men. She handed over a plastic bag full of bills, but instead of buying her husband's freedom, she was taken captive, too.

"You're going to stay because your husband escaped and you're not leaving until we find him, or he comes back," said a gunman called El Nico. "And we don't want you to scream, because we don't like women who scream."

Mexico is a failed state.
The cartels run everything down there.

What’s the point of this? Is it supposed to make me sympathetic to invaders from south of our border because their corrupt inept and malignant government can’t take care of them? They need to put their own house in order, not mess up ours.

They need to change their anti-gun laws so people can defend themselves.

Just curious, and I do not mean this to sound as harsh as it will, but why do I care about crime in Mexico?

Well, if you live in the United States, it might be a concern.

All I know about Mexico is it seems like a lawless land.

Because these people pray to the same God you and I do. This has nothing whatsoever to do with illegal or any other immigration. If this story is true it is just one more thing to add to your prayers.
