amilies of 43 students kidnapped and presumed to have been massacred in Mexico have embarked on caravans throughout the U.S., with a march scheduled Sunday in Los Angeles to bring attention to the case..

Several family members and two survivors of the ambush that led to the kidnapping plan to march from the Olvera Street plaza to the Mexican consulate, hoping a strong show of support will pressure the government to solve the case.

"As soon as we start protesting in Mexico, the riot police come and they want to get you out of there," said Angel Neri de la Cruz, 19, wearing the red jacket of the rural teacher training college the students attended.

Uhhhhhh. Yeah.

And the way it's going, The US is becoming more and more like Mexico every day thanks to your countrymen's lack of respect and consideration for American laws and traditions.

“I’m planning to go to Mexico so I can protest the murder of the gentle giant in Ferguson.”

So you want to see if Mexican Prison “conditions” are as bad as they are said to be? America is the “rich uncle” that no one likes but will “help” despite your negative feelings about him.

Their protesting here in America? They seem to be confused on two major points.

1. That Mexico gives a crap about what America thinks

2. That Americans would give a crap. Their children weren't Black. Don't they know? It's Black lives matter!

Why don’t they go to New Zealand to protest?

Makes as much sense at protesting in the US.

In normal times, we would be demanding Mexico investigate this incident, but the Obama admin doesn’t want to bring any unseemly attention on our neighbor. Mexico is a corrupt drug-gang controlled country that we ignore. I hope the families continue to protest.

What a horrifying story. I’d guess you’re correct.

How much time has Obama dedicated to our next door neighbor Mexico’s extraordinary problems vs. the Middle East?

Why are these illegal alien invaders protesting something that happened in their own crummy, loser country? Arrest them...seize their assets...and deport them.

It's spilling over into our country and we pretend the problem doesn't exist. Our border is disappearing and we never criticize the Mexican government. They should be a rich country, but instead it is a backwards drug infested criminal controlled government who uses the USA as their social safety net.
