MEXICO CITY Clashes broke out between protesters and police officers on Thursday night, as tens of thousands gathered in front of Mexico Citys National Palace in support of families and friends of the 43 students abducted by police in Iguala, in the state of Guerrero on Sept. 26.
On a day normally marked by reverent remembrances of the Mexican Revolution of 1910, various marches led by parents and families of the missing students started at different points of the city around 4 p.m. and made their way toward the Zócalo, the citys central square.
As thousands converged on the Zócalo, the demonstration remained mostly peaceful, but one group of protesters clashed with police when they attempted to block off the citys international airport.

This is Ferguson times a thousand.
I doubt it. Corruption and murder are a way of life in all of Central America. Plus most of the people have no way to resist the national police force that props up the reime.
The 43 “students” are/were commie agitators. Cry me a river.
Aww. That’s a real shame.
Forty three communist agitators died after hijacking trucks and busses.
I have huge problems with a lot of things that the Mexican government does.
I save my ire for cases where there is an innocent victim somewhere in the mix though. There aren’t any here and given the circumstances I have zero problem with skipping several decades of death row.
I agree, this reminds everyone of the Tlatelolco Massacre and it isn’t going away so easily. Combined with Nieto’s personal scandals which are starting to pile up rapidly, it may bring down the PRI, once and for all. Good riddance at last, I say.
mexicans killing mexicans is no biggie.....
the Mexican people will only regain control of their country when they rid it of the drug cartels....all military and local forces should be concentrated on that single isue.
Coming soon to a town near you.
HUNDREDS dead from Obama’s gun running to narcoterrorists in Mexico and they seem to be HAPPY about our president.
I'm always told that most Mexican legal and illegal immigrants are mostly ‘conservative’ (pro-family, and religious,etc)
If so, why is their government what it is?
Because they’re actually none of those things.
yep, they are no different than the shallowtons in all the world. The government made you poor, took away your rights and freedoms, but hey look a handout, yay government.
Getting rid of communists is always good too.
And since the not so sadly departed were communist thugs, this whole thing is a plus.
That’s oversimplifying; military/police and cartels aren’t mutually exclusive. Mexico is a corrupt country; they would have to follow Colombia’s lead in dealing with their cartels (which in Colombia were aligned with communists).
Is there something written about what you are saying?
Same “students.”
This is like those “unarmed teenagers” Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown.
Except for a few brief and localized exceptions, the Mexican people have never had control of their country, or even come close to it.
