This story baffles me, I mean I do believe it but to merely shoot protesting students? Six seemed to be killed at the protest and the others abducted and presumably have been killed.
But in this town, they find some mass graves, that’s about 6 mass graves, that’s the bad news, the good news is that the student remains have not been found in any of the mass graves. Crazy.
Oh, and a week or so before in Guerrero, an opposition politician was killed, the man was of the PAN party (the “Conservative” party) but didn’t look to me to be like a high-level politician.
The only thing I can figure out is that maybe one would shoot the students if somehow they are connected to a rival cartel but I haven’t seen evidence of that.
Some of this kind of stuff has probably happened in Mexico always the thing is is that now it is rampant.
And lastly, they call the students part of a left-wing party, I think the accused Mayor may also actually belong to what is a left-wing organization as well.
I think it’s clear the police in cahoots with a cartel did shoot the protesters. But like you say, why shoot the protesters? Even if it sounds like the protesters, called Normalistas, have a reputation to act up sometimes (the worse I saw hijacking a bus, who knows how serious that would actually be in a country like Mexico), nothing merits this.
I wonder myself if the protesters could have connections to people the rival cartel does not like. It certainly seems like a rash act to outright shoot them. And Mexico has a fair amount of protests already in itself.
Lastly, these Normalistas sort of seem to be “Left-Wing” but not the way we in the USA would think of being “Left-Wing”, apparently one of their issues was to stand up for the right of a Teacher to SELL their job title to the highest bidder. This hardly seems like a “Left-Wing” aim.
Speaking of Ciudad Juarez, for awhile, one of those cartels would decapitate police officers’ and leave their heads in an ice cooler outside or near police headquarters. So, versus outright corruption of the police, I wouldn’t rule out the Cartels just scaring off legitimate police and taking over police departments.
This “Iguala” city must be a hellhole, they are finding a number of mass graves down there, it must be a regular killing fields.
Good for the protesters to protest.
Photo #9, October 8th actually shows protests over this went on in Germany, how big, no idea: http://voxxi.com/2014/10/17/search-missing-college-students-mexico/playlist/march-justice-mexico/item/320571
From a Honduras newspaper, lots of photos.: http://www.laprensa.hn/sucesos/756183-410/masivas-protestas-en-m%C3%A9xico-por-estudiantes-desaparecidos?utm_source=laprensa.hn&utm_medium=Direct&utm_campaign=desktop_modulo_enportada
Wondered why the streets were empty on Monday in Los Angeles.
I wouldn’t be opposed to that in the least. It’s better than doing more of nothing or allowing darker forces to gain a toe-hold. And, the narrative and focus would be easier to control by mobilizing at least a portion of our inhouse 10million plus illegal yuuts - invasion by their own would be a powerful movement.
