Volunteers Beaten, Raped, Shot While Delivering Aid After Mexican Earthquakes

Gunmen waylaid a group of volunteers bringing aid to earthquake victims in Mexico, shooting one, raping another and beating several, all for $2,000 and a few cellphones.

The group of Catholic youth volunteers left Mexico City in three pickup trucks loaded with food and relief aid for communities affected by the earthquakes in Oaxaca Tuesday morning, but a group of unidentified gunmen intercepted them and shot up their cars, wounding one of the volunteers, according to Siame. The gunmen raped one of the girls, beat one of the young men so severely that he almost died, and left with the volunteers’ phones and the contents of their vehicles.

(snip)

The gunmen’s attack against the volunteers was not the first such attack, according to Arvizú. Other volunteers have been assaulted, and the Mexican army even tried to rob volunteers from Guanajuato of their relief supplies. Stories of these dangers have begun dissuading would-be volunteers from lending a hand to communities in Mexico.

I guess the military is at least more merciful. My condolences for these kids who were doing the right thing for the right reason. My prayers.

The perps could easily be found and killed. We all know that.

It amazes me there are so few vertical reconciliations.

Trump’s Fault.

The lesson to be learned here is that we need to let more, not less, of these oppressed people into the US. By giving them our young girls, our wives, our children to beat, rape and even kill if they desire, the world will be a better place.

And most importantly, the white privilege we hear so much about will be bred out of existance.

The Pope is apparently supportive of open borders in all cases. /sarc

The only appropriate aide for Mexico can be conveyed by the US Marine Corps. All others should simply stay out.

Mexico is a bad, bad place to be right now.

The State Department should put Mexico on its travel warning list, advising US citizens to stay away.

The solution is to teach every American except those who do not want to learn, how to shoot and carry concealed or openly. Does anyone think a group of say 30 trained gunmen and women would not have made almost any group of rebels back off and let off?

I am so disgusted with religions at this point.

It’s all about “the right people delivering aide”,it has to be the powers that be supposedly giving the aide otherwise this is what happens,like in Puerto Rico.

https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2017/09/30/puerto-rico-cop-calls-u-s-radio-station-reporting-corrupt-mayor-of-san-juan-and-request-for-help/

Above is a six minute call by a Puerto Rican police woman who tells how aide is purposely kept from getting to starving people by local mayors and the governor of Puerto Rico, Ricardo Rossello. He reportedly won’t do anything for anyone without a TV camera showing him doing it.
It’s corrupt as hell and the beginnings of how communists take over nation after nation.

The solution is that Mexico is on its own. Arming up to deliver donated necessities of life on your own time to people you don't know is beyond the insanity of the Mad Max universe.

You should be disgusted with the Mexican government, which makes it effectively illegal for citizens to arm themselves, not with “religions”.

Like the movie “Men With Guns” set in Guatemala. It’s the wild wild west.

No, it’s not. Every religion I have become fairly well acquainted with has incredible wealth. They could do so much more than they do.

In this case, it was incredibly stupid to send those kids into Mexico without protection which might have cost some money but might have saved their lives. It is dubious how it might have gone considering the banditos of Mexico.
